As recorded by Nic Jones on Penguin Eggs, written by Paul Metsers.Tuning: CFCFAC. www.samcartermusic.co.uk
This video is intended to shed light on Nic Jones' arrangement of Farewell To The Gold, and is something I've chosen to post online as a guitar teacher as well as a Nic Jones enthusiast.
In contrast, as an artist I perform my own material as well as my own versions of traditional songs. As such, I don't play Nic's arrangements at my own gigs. You can find videos of many of my own songs among my uploaded videos.

Thanks Kev, I worked it out by ear. All of the tunings listed here are slightly sharp on the recordings. The tunings in brackets are the standard pitch equivalents of Nic's tunings: Canadee-i-o: BbFBbFBbC (CGCGCD) Humpback Whale: AEAEAA (CGCGCC) Drowned Lovers, Farewell To The Gold, Barrack St, Little Pot Stove: CFCFAC (DGDGBD) Planxty Davis: BF*BF*BC* (CGCGCD) Flandyke Shore: CGCGCD Hope that helps!

I think the idea was to show how Nic Jones played the song. Besides, it IS a dirge. The subject lost him dreams in the gold rush. I think the singing is lovely. In traditional singing, It is the job of the words to provide the power and beauty. Understatement is key for the singer and this is done beautifully in this version. Lovely stuff!

I was lucky enough to see Nic Jones play live in olden days so I feel I can say with some confidence that this version is really marvellous- beautifully played and well sung. I'm very impressed. BTW, well worth tracking down is Nic's playing on "Grey Funnel Line" by Dave Burland which is on Dave's Facebook page, All the Best

@spring74light
@spring74light 15 лет назад
A superb rendition! Well done! I am sure it would bring smiles of approval from both Nic and Paul. Nic developed that amazing technique of a rock-steady metronomic right hand, over which he draped his laid-back, slightly "late entry", vocals to such great artistic effect. [Tyneside, England.]

And as Paul's tunes tend to be a bit too beautiful, here in New Zealand the final chord of the chorus is now dropped from a C to an Am, and the singing note from C to A. It is very popular here in folkclubs for its singalong chorus. But we are more likely to be singing this parody Hungover liver, my head it is aching; It's weeks since the daylight I've seen I'm sitting here thinking "This shit I've been drinking Is rotting a hole in my spleen." etc Google will find you the rest of the words.

Great Version like both the voice and excellent guitar work ,your pared back version express the sentiment of loneliness and lost dreams in the goldfields of Otago well.I wonder if Paul Metsers got the idea from "Arawata Bill" a poem by well known NZ poet Denis Glover .One of my favourite songs. Heard Paul sing it ,sing it in Wellington NZ before he headed to UK sadly our loss ,hope he heads back to Aotearoa if only for a visit.
@samcartermusic
@samcartermusic 15 лет назад
Thanks. I was quite new to playing the song at the time of recording and I'm reading the lyrics off my laptop as I go along :) Hence the mistake on 'Cardrona'.

Excellent playing! I've often wondered how NJ got that percussive sound... It seems to involve using the back of the nail on the index finger... It's a good style.
@KingofRoath

@thekev506

absolutely fantastic, where did you find out what tuning he used on the song? i'd like to try more of his stuff but don't really know what nic used
@samcartermusic
@samcartermusic 15 лет назад
The percussive effect is created with the middle finger. I might post a 'how to' this technique in the not-too-distant future.

@TimJakeGl True, my Nic Jones covers are primarily designed to show how Nic played his own arrangements, rather than creating arrangements of my own. You can hear my own arrangement of 'Oh Dear Rue The Day' on my website (google sam carter).

@ neohip, Very sad but good information. However, I am a bit confused. All I commented on was Sam's lovely singing and playing. Perhaps you were responding to another poster? All the best.

That is better than than Nic Jones' cover version Sam, the pronunciation of place-names is more accurate and you are not dragging it out into a dirge. It is almost as good as Paul Melser's original, in which he used a dulcimer as an accompaniment when I heard him at a concert in 1982. Paul used a lot of modal tunings in his songs. But the goldfield is Cardrona, not Cardona, and in New Zealand the standard version of this song is now sung as " But it's no use complaining or Lady Luck blaming."

This young man is an excellent guitarist, but his singing voice is even better. It's like if David Bowie decided to become a folksinger. And that's a GOOD thing.

Thanks very much! I've heard the Bowie voice comparison a few times and take it as a great compliment. Can't believe it's over 10 years since I recorded this!

Yes, Clyde Water from Penguin Eggs is in this tuning too. The Game Set Match version is in CGCGCC (or equivalent in B or Bb).

Give the kid a few years, and I expect we'll see far stronger performances from him as he gets his feet under him. I thought it was good, and the only valid criticism is to do better yourself, after all.

Technically clever guitar plucking, but the singing lacks passion. It is turned into a dirge here. I have heard the composer Paul Melzer sing it, and also Otago singer Chris Penman, and they lift the song into something powerful and beautiful.

@allansbullet 8 лет назад
+andreasegde Yes I can pronounce "antidisestablishmentarianism" - and I know what it means! Do you have any clue where the Shotover and the Cardrona are, or what happened there and when?? No you don't - so YOU sod off! Phil Garland's version of this song is much better.
