I just want to say I really APPRECIATE this. The amount of practice and work that obviously went into this (as is the case with any song someone learns) must be enormous. You should be very proud, and I just really respect and appreciate it. Let no one question it or I shall, like, I dunno... be annoyed at them. :)
Dude you killed this song! the guitar was flawless and its a very hard song to sing and play at the same time and you pulled it off wonderfully. Your voice is amazing also!
you have great taste in music. I find when I play this I have to anchor my pink on the pick guard too, but I'm pretty sure Elliott did this also. It's a difficult song to play, nevermind sing at the same time.
dude what i respect the most about this video is that you are continuing to fingerpick even after the intro, which is where most people (and even Elliott when playing this live) would have just switched to normal strumming. excellent job.
man i think you prolly geta new response to how lifelike you are to elliott. but i will until you respnd directly to my comment dude... all i can say is damn.... your the fucking best i cant give you the credit of sayin you better then elliott but thts just cuz he wrote it... but its a goddamn runnin count bro....
I am absolutely gob-smacked. This is brilliant, an amazing cover. I wanted to record this as my next youtube video but I don't even know what chords are used etc. Dang. But well done, keep it up :)
This is just.... eerie. I don't know what to say about the fact that you sound exacly like Elliott. I even keep excpecting you to go "fuck" and mess up at that one part like he did in the live version... Keep doing what you're doing man.
am i bad for thinking that your rendition of this song sounds better than Elliot's? perhaps, RIP in Eilliot, but in the meantime - you've done an AMAZING job of paying tribute to a great song. well done brother. I've got YOUR version of this cover alongside Elliot's in my iPod. True story
Love the voice!!! It dose sound like Elliott. maybe Elliott came back from the dead in the form of your body. any way love the song and the voice!!!!! ELLIOTT SMITH 1969-2003
It's a Yamaha from the 1970's. An FG-375S. I'm not sure how much it was new, but it's priceless to me. I think it was originally a mid price range guitar, but it's really had time to develop a sound over the last few decades.
Wow! Amazing...I've never heard a cover of this that I liked a ton....everything is just too perfect! You have talent and an amazing voice!!!! Keep it up!
nice cover jeff, it's a joy to watch your vids, your voice and guitar match perfectly! Did you learn the sweetadeline tabs or sth. different cause I want to learn it as well? Respect from Austria!
Angeles is quite possibly my favorite song ever...and i have nothing bad to say about your cover at all. nice playing, and very nice voice. i actually turned up the volume on my speakers when you started singing. nice work.
Very impressive!! I'm trying to learn it but I play quite differently, just like the sweetaddy version. I guess the fingerpicking is a little bit different. Keep on it man. You're good. Bye.
I tried to learn it a long time ago, but gave up. Then I came back to it and learned the chords and took a shot at a picking pattern which took a couple of days. A few days later I refined what I was playing after studying some live footage and really listening to the song for nuances. I play a couple of things differently now. It was a fun and frustrating week I think.
I think I was tuned down half a step when I played this one. I usually have my guitar tuned down at least half a step so that I can play down-tuned songs when I feel like it. For other songs, I just place a capo in a position that compensates for that half step. This song can be played in standard tuning (capo 5th fret) or with a detuned guitar and a capo up higher to compensate.
o man that is freakin great is that a Ferdinand tat on ur arm?? but ya man u did a beter job with this then like all of the covers i have heard on the tribute albums.
lol fuck the tutorials they all suck im just learning off this
