  • TAB IT. Please. I'm in love with this song. I want to play it.

  • Is he dead ???

  • Can you tab it?

  • there is no one beside Elliott who can make such a sad yet beautiful sound ♥

  • This makes up for the thousands of people on youtube shitting on Mr. Smith's songs. Thank you for this restoration.

  • very nice the way u play it is very tastful

  • I am speechless.

  • Someone found the future as a statue in a fountain

    At attention, looking backward in a pool of water

    Wishes with a blue songbird on his shoulder

    Who keeps singing over everything

    Everything means nothing to me

    Everything means nothing to me

    Everything means nothing to me

    I picked up the song and found my picture in the paper

    The reflection in the water showed an iron man still trying to salute

    People from a time when he was everything he's supposed to be

  • Man, it's amazing. I really adore you.

  • brilliant

  • this is such a beautiful rendition, would you please allow me an easier way of using this to cover it with tabs? sheet music would work fine too haha

  • The first I saw of you was the Mario 2 video, some years ago. I had no idea you were posting such beautiful ES chord melodies as well. Love it. Keep it coming!

  • is this the mexican guy in the "coming up roses" video playing the classical strings?

  • @MrXbrianx Look at his hands. They indeed look brown....

    not.

  • im figuring this out now... ill post it when i got it!

  • i wish i knew how to play this.

  • absolutely beautiful.

  • this is absolutely fantastic my friend. any chance of a tab for this?

  • TAB PLEASEEEE

  • i hate my fingers. i want them to move like yours do, but they dont want to. they're lazy and rubbish.

  • really, really great.

  • AWESOME, yea you can realy appreciate how intricate the song is when you see it in classical form.

    I think its a great piece of music, but the a capella choir version is sort of annoying.. A memory of this song is being in art studio, my friend's ipod suddenly shuffled to this song, and she ran to the other side of the room to change it cause she was embarassed. haha

  • 1st elliott smith song i ever listened to!

    good job. Hope i can get that good at guitar

  • That was pretty rad, man.

  • you make elliott 's music live, thank you!

  • This is a fantastic arrangement. Subscribed. ^_^ You're brilliant, man.

  • this is awesome. could tell me the tuning please?

  • I'm pretty sure by the way he starts playing the C-G-F chords at 1:38 that it's just standard tuning.

  • you did amazing perform ~~ i really want to play this song like you. how can i find some informations such as tab or chords

  • wow man this is just pretty..

  • wow can you send me an arrangement of that? i'd love to play it

  • And I just checked your other videos and now I'm subscribed :D

  • I actually got to this cover looking for Manchester Orchestra's song 'Everything To Nothing' but saw this, which is one of my favourite Elliott Smith songs, if not one of my favourite ever, and this took my breath away. I don't know whether you used tabs or figured this out by yourself but either is just stunningly impressive. 5 stars + favourited!

  • beautiful! i love this so much.

  • Very good, I love your arrangement...

  • Hey man can you arrange a tab for me?

  • you should be a hand moddel

  • amazing! ahhh this does elliott justice!

  • this is beautiful...really. This is my favorite of Elliotts. Thank you.

  • this is pretty chill dude. I'm a huge fan of elliott and this does him great justice. pretty much a perfect transcription and rendition of this song

  • I concur. Well done my friend.

  • this is really one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard. thank you.

  • amazing!!!!!

  • Great job my friend... This has most surely been composed on a piano. Your arrangement for guitar is stuning.

  • tabs my friend

    beatiful work though.

  • wahoo !

  • you've done something worthwile

  • I see your already married? damnnn.

    Haha, excellent job though man, you're really talented.

  • My God man! This is beautiful!!!

  • awesome!

  • wow cheers for this, i'm going to give this a bad try for as long as i can

  • wow, thats great!

  • incredible

  • i know everyone probably asks you but do you have any tabs? that was perfect

  • for a rare elliott smith interview, check my page

  • nicely done!

  • wow i dig this.... beautiful

  • I loved him and saw him live.

    He only wanted to share, on a rainy day he asked if we wanted a happy or sad song.

    We stood in the rain in awe, of life and most importantly happiness.

    I saw my musical love die before I had a chance to express my feelings.

    In Elliot Smith I saw my generation questioning itself and everything that was. My true love, Moria, died inside the day she heard the news.

    Find something special and hold onto it. You will find your voice. In time you will find yourself.

  • I couldn't agree with you more, and your comment is probably the greatest thing I have ever read about Elliott Smith. You summed it all up in a nutshell right there

  • @Davepars7 thank you for that comment.

  • @Davepars7 thank you for that comment.

    

  • @LaNuitTombe

    Stands true as the moment I wrote it, always will.

  • I will definately check out your other vids - this was superb. My only critique is that you missed the little piano run off at 0:42 (0:32 in the original). I am just a picky prick, I bow down to your exquisite talents.

  • Holy shit! SO FUCKING GOOD!

  • very impressed. a job very well done. elliot would be proud

  • amazing.

  • how cool. my favorite es tune. that was really cool.

  • you made my night..

  • I was watching this, slightly blown away, not knowing who the player was.  I came across it as I was watching a 'related video' -- the one linked to in the information sidebar.

    Seeing this excellent arrangement come from Adrian comes as no surprise.

  • that was so amazing and beautiful

  • everyone else said what i wanted to say....

  • holy crap. this is amazing. tab anywhere?

  • hey man thats sweet you should tab that out man.

  • congrats!! love it!

  • wow, man.

    very well done.

    beautiful, beautiful job.

    thanks for adding that to my world.

  • God bless you, man.

  • shit im close to crying man

    one of my favorite elliott songs played beautifuly

  • Elliott would have been touched to hear his work played so heartfully. Fine job, as usual.

  • fucking sweet!

    did you learn this from a book , or just make arrange it yourself? If it was the latter your amazing musically talented!

    any chance you tabbed it out!!??

  • wow wish i had the balls to learn this, many off kilter unorthodox chords iin there, incredible guitar playing, lots of key changes, with different modes in each, absolutely love it, incredible to hear something from a piano which gives you two hands to do with guitar with only one, thanks for the encouragment

  • Beautiful! Well done!

  • sounds like a classical piece. i know its an elliott song. very good job my friend.

  • This is a work of pure genius!!!! Very well done

  • Wow. First of all, you made this about the song and not about you (by not being concerned with showing your face for added credit or whatever)- I commend you for this. Secondly, I'd just like to say that you did a really great job. This is one of my favourite songs of his and it's nice to hear it done respectively through a knowledge of who he was.

    Rest peacefully, Elliott

  • srsly guize. you have the video of him playing the song, you have the audio of the song, you can visually scan where he's playing the notes with your eyeballs as well as listen to them with your ears, you should be able to tab it yourself. it's alot easier than you'd think to tab when you have a video like this where the only camera angle is the guy's hands.

  • You captured every emotion Elliott conveyed by a whole band in just a guitar. Well done.

  • amazing. thats all i have to say.

  • that's beautiful.

  • <3 i cant wait to listen to more

  • God people, tabs are EASY to find...

    Great job on the cover.

  • WOW! any tabs?

  • so amazing!

    any chance I could get the tabs?

  • wow, you havw so much talent, I could never play that in a million years.

  • tabs? this video is exceptionally clear.... put some sweat into it.

  • great job dude. is there any chance there are tabs outthere? =)

  • sweetadeline

  • Just looked at the tab section of the site. It doesn't have what this guy's playing (though it does have a guitar score), and it doesn't have any finger picking tabs for the song, like this guy's playing.

    I demand tabs for this version!

  • MUY BELLO!!!!

  • wow.... big time skilled play. very beautiful

  • wow.

  • Very very good my friend, my respects, you transcribed the hole arrangement, just one thought, I'm sure that if you just transpose it a half step up (G), you'll find easier ways to play it, and be able to use a lot more open strings and even maybe some harmonics, witch always gives a lot more brightness to the song(if you don't wanna change the overall key you can tune half step low, witch elliot did a lot) , but anyway you did a fantastic job, great ear.

    Keep it up.

    SC

  • u sayed all i havewd to say i love uu.... to alll mery cristhmes :D

  • You have honored Elliott -- big time.

  • Beautiful! Well done!

  • lovely stuff, i was singing along, love all Elliotts work, he was a genis with melody

  • what kind of guitar is that?

    it has a beautiful sound so mellow and

    ahhhh

  • looks like a gypsy guitar or something similar

  • yes i found out that the maker of this guitar is guitane and they are gypsy guitaris

  • Esta bien cabrona esta cancion, la quiero tocar pero esta dificil, estaria bien un video mas lento para aprender a tocarla como tu, Exelente!!!!!!

  • wow, thats really beautiful, i just stumbled here by accident thinking it was actually elliott: something that normally annoys me when i hear people sabotaging his work, but it sounds quite remarkable. good job man

  • Whoo, came here by accident. I need to get these tabs!

  • fantastic

  • any chance on some tabs? its sounds freaking brilliant

  • beautiful, great melody

  • you seriously blew me away. simply amazing. really.

  • Wow that's beautiful. I think if Elliott were still around he would really appreciate this.

  • damn, i usually dont listen or like elliott covers but you did so good wow damn.

  • agreed

  • crazy gorgeous. you rock the world of web cam performances... jeebus.

  • Wonderful. I just started playing.

    Veeeeery good!

  • kickass man.

    hope you dont mind if i tab out this vid. =D

  • this is a really beautiful version that you've done! my hero..

  • Wow!

  • very impressive dude! if you have this up on a tab site i would love to see it.

  • this is great. I think it would sound even better on classical guitar, the D string is bumping and rattling a bit. It's better than I could do. And thats the truth!

  • youre an incredible guitarist man.

  • Wow. Fucking ace man!

  • INCREDIBLE!

  • great work. I've subscribed to your vids for awhile and I had no idea you also co-created django until today.
