This is the full guitar lesson for One Of These Things First.
One Of These Things First is by English singer-songerwriter Nick Drake. It’s a beautifully written piece and a real joy to play. Drake had a very unorthodox style of playing and to this day no one has ever sounded quite like him. You can get closer to achieving his tone by using old, dull sounding strings and also fingerpicking up over the soundhole closer to the fretboard.
Alright, let’s get on with the lesson!
