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!
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
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!
dudeeeee im sry i write u do befoere..sry my english but the thing is that ur elliot music still roking,.. i love u,, i love ellito and i love u what u thng about that.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
It'll take me a minute to get it correct. I'm not used to playing songs this good on guitar but yeah as soon as I have it I'll send you a link or something.
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!
that's really nice

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

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.
