Hi all, here’s my rendition of The Wind by Cat Stevens, one of my favorite songs of all time. Looking for any and all feedback before my muscle memory settles in for good lol.
Please ignore the mic and the video quality - uploading this purely for feedback. Thanks for watching!!
Well played, I enjoyed that. It must be at least 20+ years since I last heard this. As soon as your started playing I thought “oh yeah that sounds familiar”. I think How Can I Tell You is my favourite Cat Stevens song, along with a few others.
Thank you! I only heard it a couple of years ago, but instantly connected with it. The simple but very recognizable melody and the beautifully honest lyrics make this a timeless classic in my eyes. Thank you for watching
Very nicely done, both singing and guitar sound great.
Love this song as well, I can play it but not as well as you and when I tried it just now the muscle memory needed a nudge!
Saw Cat Stevens play this at Hyde Park last summer. He still has a great voice

Beautiful performance Abhishek. I’ve been playing Donovan’s song Catch the Wind for awhile. Now I have a new wind song to learn! What’s next? Dust in the Wind? The Wind Cries Mary?
Well done, Abhishek
Lovely performance, picking and singing.
This!
I listened to it yesterday and thought to myself- There’s just that one low note (on the ‘never’), where you reach it, but it sounds like you’re at a bit of a stretch. I was thinking capo on 2, but 1 would probably do it
Cool beans!
