Angeles- Elliott Smith Cover

[nikolacrnojevic]

Amazing mate. I've done some covers if you want to check them out

[cheddarr29]

totally owned it. spot on.

[sstrunks8000]

YESSSSSSS!!!!

[DethFiesta]

I've never heard anyone hit the intro that well -- extremely well done! If I could make request of anyone on Youtube, it would be to ask that you record this again with the camera closer to your hands and if you would play it at a slower tempo.....everyone wants to learn to play this as well as you. Please teach us!!!!!!

[russellstrauss]

sounds amazing

[tagteamutube]

Well done man, best cover I have seen.

[YetAnthony]

What a boss.

[TheLeftyGrove]

As good a cover of ES as you'll ever see. Great guitar work. The intro was dead on.

[MitchGettman]

@TheLeftyGrove Thanks!

[leogesser]

perfect man, serious, whered you got the tab?

[MissShannonWilliams]

You're great !!!!

[saturnee7]

this is the best version of Angeles on youtube... hands down!

[MitchGettman]

@saturnee7 Thanks a lot!

[weatherbe99]

just incredible man!

[niedec]

This is definitely one of the best covers I've seen of this. How'd you learn it? Tabs? Watching videos? Playing by ear? I'm trying to learn it myself, but obviously, that's much much easier said than done.

[mellolovesyouforever]

fucking beautiful.

[DjangosBurntFingers]

MitchGettman, That's just an excellent performance of "Angeles". However, I have one nitpick. Are you sightreading? If so I understand, I do it all the time because I have to. I was trained that way. I don't have to tell you that you need to make eye contact with your audience. Outside of that your performance is pretty much flat out perfect. DjangosBurntFingers

[mbarnhead16]

this is so good. you should travel the country playing elliots songs for him

[Syriellee]

Need to thank you for this one... !

[BuriiBii]

Totally badass. If you played Pretty Mary Kay (other Version) i'll die from happiness, buaha, awesome job, <3

[Mistermonsterface]

could u please coming from a fellow guitar player and elliott smith lover post a tutorial showing and explaining how u performed the finger picking

[kubiaTV]

1 person never met angeles

[veinysaboteur]

Thanks a lot.

[AnomalyAnAmelie]

this. yes.

[Edge1622]

Great cover, What kind of guitar is this?

[Qber4life]

@Edge1622 Looks like a Guild GAD-30RE, sunburst design.

[8ihateu8]

GREAT! really funny to play this song on guitar..I did a video myself where I play the intro :O

[MrTjdizzle]

SWEEET!!!!!!!

[morg334]

that was brilliant! Did you find it difficult learning to play this?

[DVDKC]

I LOVE YOU

[aeb4lizz9]

your voice sounds a lot like elliott. very well done, i enjoyed this.

[CharlieGirdlestone]

This is fucking sick mate! Took me a couple of seconds to work out if you were miming along to Elliott's voice in the background. And your guitar playing is amazing aswell with both the rhythm and the melody, the whole shabbamm!!!

[Philly2002]

Practically perfect, well done.

[eleventhing]

[leafsfan1231]

[wirsindhelden0]

this is absolutely beautiful!!!! the guitar is perfect and your voice is just magnificent.

[ruskiantonov]

do you just use your thumb middle and index to pick the intro...!?!?

[BelieveInTheSun]

This is amazing! I just started guitar and I was wondering, how long have you been playing? :P

[ElliottSmithLives84]

This sounds incredible, an amazing song. So glad to find some real fans.

[eccsxt]

Wow! Simply amazing. You did so good with everything. The guitar work, again is amazing but of course this is more complicated than say yes. What an amazing song Elliott wrote and you nailed it! How long have you been playing?

[YetAnthony]

It's not Absolutely perfect as you guys exaggerate but it's not bad.

[music09001]

definitely the best cover of this song online.  Great sense of timing and overall playing

[FrenchBalmyNight]

Excellent.

So intense.

At the end you wait, you really seem in your thoughts, like paying tribute or something...

[nevaraexmmmbop]

[analwizard]

[TheCheerioBandit]

Beautiful.

[xBxRxCx]

[Anus0Beans]

[jackaland4zeros]

[satelliteRadar]

This is just perfect! I've been trying to learn this song correctly for so long now it kills me!

Awesome job!

[joshwillms666]

Buddy, you got a great voice and amazing guitar skills, it takes talent to play this song and you play it just as well as Elliot did, rip elliot aswell, your missed

[Audrouze]

Love this song too. Really well done Mitch ! ;-)

[mstwinkle2]

beautiful

[digitaldown]

Me thinks you must be channeling the spirit of elliot smith

[TucanSam81]

that was bad ass bro good job

[colberrrt]

I would have commented on your Buckley cover, as it's very good, but this is even more impressive. Your voice sounds so natural here. Keep making music!

[adencapaul]

been trying to learn it myself and i seem to sound the same as every other shit cover on youtube, except you who can sing and play it almost identical. keep it up mate

[MassiZeGH]

Hi Mitch, I wanted to know.. what were you using to record yourself ? Would like to do so but I don't know exactly what to use to have a good sound quality like yours.

-Massi

[jamesandjackproducts]

This has to be the most accurate cover on Youtube. Most of them just don't sound like they are in the right key.

5/5

[dimensionsinspace]

Look up at the camera, dear (:

Your guitar skills are incredible.

The opening blew my mind.

[Strangerish1]

Wow amazing :)

[Conunparde10]

Buenísima cover! Enhorabuena. Congratulations man

[Enigma669]

Wow that's a tricky song to play, good job!

[eatworld77]

The best cover ever!! really really nice!

Elliott would be proud!

[satelliteRadar]

This is Great! I have been forever trying to play this the way that you do.Just amazing to finally see a quality rendition of my favorite song.

[sdfleouth]

this is fantastic

do you have tabs?

[leraginasian]

my favorite song ever. please look at my cover of one of his songs.

[swasylenko]

you had this cover done to a t! well done. i dont think ive seen a cover that ever came so close to sounding the same as the original. normally im not a fan of covers that sound almost the same but this one sounds amazing

[walywal2010]

very cool man

[allafleche]

Clean you room!

Except that it's pretty perfect, i love it.

Seriously I don't see any musical flaws congrats.

[bapsmuffin]

i'm gonna marry you.

[MondayBlues22]

dope! great cover man keep rocking! elliott smith is the bomb diggity!!!

[tonightweburnthesky]

it takes a lot to put the amount of emotion elliott did into his songs, and you pretty much achieve it. pretty fucking stellar.

[MojoPinny]

Absolutely STELLAR!!! You are beyond greatness.....

[arcoggins]

Definitely the best cover of this song I've heard. You put me to shame, awesome, seriously. have you written your own stuff? i'd like to hear it.

[elliottsmithiswithme]

absolutely amazing!!! i feel the same about the song as you. could you please do "the biggest lie" you have the voice and the guitar skills to go with. he is one of the hardest singers to cover. as you can tell by my screen name I LOVE HIM! please cover as many as you can!!! try some iron and wine too!

[spongo124]

Really enjoyed that.

I love that song and I'm inspired to dust off my guitar.

[Chisster]

Sheer brilliance...you are a great man. Never loose sight of what you felt while playing this.

[AIB1979]

the one thing that seperates you from other elliott smith covers is your guitar playing...its amazing. I love it when you play both the melody and rythem parts at the same time. Your guitar playing skills are great man, keep it up.

[MitchGettman]

Thanks a lot.

[rogerpms]

Amazing man!!! Congratulations!!

You keep the elliott smth's spirit alive!!!

Greetings from Brazil!!!

[Cuntouchable]

i think out of all the people who attempt elliott smith covers on this website you probably pull them off the best. :)

how long have you been singing/playing guitar, have you taken lessons?

[MitchGettman]

Thanks a lot.

I've been playing for about 5 years and I took lessons for a couple of weeks but not much.

[MitchGettman]

Thanks alot.

[mevrouwdebeer]

[honuecker]

[MitchGettman]

[MitchGettman]

[FeedTheTension]

[1252429]

nice job your the only one i heard so far that can cover Elliott's songs and still keep the feeling and emotions that go with the music

[MitchGettman]

Thanks alot.

[1252429]

have you ever considered trying Twlight or The Last Hour there both from Elliotts From Basement on a Hill cd and i think these songs should really suite your voice

[dtownteeth]

[MitchGettman]

Thanks alot.

[julietagrung7]
