    The skill you have is unique!!!!!

    Congratulations !!!

    FRom Chile and Houston!

  • 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. :)

  • its just the plucking rhythm..its hard as fuck..also this kid has a good voice

  • 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!

  • that was so goood. i want to learn this so bad

  • Damn you, sir for making me so jealous. I'm working on getting the finger picking correct and you make it look so easy. Well done

  • so honestly,, how long did it take you to master this...??

    good job!!

  • Thanks for sharing this excellent cover of Angeles. Very well done!

  • amazing.you rock

  • hey whats the picking pattern for this song?

    if you could tell me that would be awsome.

  • well done sir

  • I agree with the others, continue like that and you'll be well-known in the world :)

  • too amazing!

  • not bad! I love this song! First time i heard this wonderful song was on "The girl next door"

    P.S. You need to watch "The girl next door" Best movie so far i've seen (well that is a love story)

  • That was bad ass.

  • By far the best Angeles cover! With respect to the others!

  • Damn you damn you damn you damn you. I'm so very jealous of you, sir. Someday I'll be able to do this.

    Great job.

  • dude! just what I've been looking for to figure out the rest of the intro! great job and thanks for uploading this!

  • Amazing, as many others said. Brilliant best cover I have ever heard.

  • we have the same capo! we should be friends.

  • 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.

  • u sound almost exactly like him and have a tatoo on your arm like him. dont mean to sound paranoid but something seems fishy to me

  • what a great cover!

  • Nice dude! Truly...

  • waouw!amazing...hope i'll be able to play this one day...

  • u did this song justice:]

  • AMAZING!

  • Great cover man! Your voice is great for elliotts songs too.

  • Awesome. No complaints.

  • man of all your vids this is the best. Versitile with good taste, onya

  • 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.

  • I noticed that two... I seconds that: Great job!

  • ..............................­...Wow

  • haha of course poisonarmsaroundyou loves it

  • ..............................­............Wow

  • yes you sound a lot like him it's scary

  • that is by far the best cover of this song that i've heard or seen. you have an amazing voice, it sounds alot like Elliott's.

    you seriously have some real talent. do you write any of your own music? if not you should, i bet people would love it.

    and if so, is there any way i can hear any of it?

  • Amazing work... a hard song in all aspects. You have done some great covers, I love your taste in music.

  • Man you got the same voice. Thanks for the finger showing.

  • great cover mate,well done!

  • yea dude you sound exactly like elliot

    are you doing 2 or 3 finger picking?

    good job!

  • 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 :)

  • Very good :)

  • Incredible.  By far the best Angeles cover I've heard.

  • amazing.  sounds lovely.

  • You are so talented.

  • killer fretwork!

  • 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.

  • great work

  • excellent =)

  • 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

  • holy eff!i love this coverrrrrr sounds exactly like elliott <3

  • 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

  • HEY, you have a tatoo on tyour right arm...

    so does Elliott Smith...

    you play guitar as well as Elliott Smith, And finally your voice sounds A LOT LIKE ELLIOTTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow Elliott Smith came back from the dead to make a youtube video!?

  • Thats eerie....

    Your voice is SO much like Elliots!

    WTF?

  • i'm jealous. damn it!! awesome job.

  • Before waching this i thought that nothing could top Elliott's version, but know i'll have reconsider

  • nothing can. but if anything could this would deffinatly be at the top.

  • Awesome bro!!

    to all the haters pause at 00:40 secs. =)

  • what brand is this guitar? how much did it cost?

  • 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.

  • thats very similar tothe guitar elliot used. he used an earl 1970's yamaha acoustic, the pickguard looked just like the one on your guitar

  • your voice sounds just like his man lol...nice

  • I just hav to say bravo...

    I'm a big fan of elliott ! I was really afraid but it was really great !!

    Thx

    see ya

  • waw...

  • *Clicks subscribe* WOW dude

  • amazing!! :D!!

  • This video is what inspired me to put the effort in and learn this song, and make my own video.

  • I get the chills everytime I watch this.

  • 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.

  • this video is helping me learn it myself. damn you Jeff... slow down

  • this is just amazing.

  • wow, that's a tough song to play. you nailed it.

  • Very nice, I've been learning this song lately.

    You pull off a good Elliott with your voice too.

  • impressive ...nice job

  • 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.

  • fucking good fingerpicking. i tried to learn this song a while ago and gave up in disgust. keep up the good work.

    anyone looking for elliott smith tabs/chords should go to http://sweetaddy.org/?page_id=­302 a tab for just about every song.

  • incredibly impressive..

    and such an amazing song. he is missed.

  • Well done... voice AND guitar!

  • you have a pretty angelic voice.

    And you play the song masterfully.

    Excellent work.

  • do you have this tabbed anywhere so it can be visible. i love finger picking. i think i'll pick it up, and i love the way you play it.

  • how long did it take u to learn this amazing song?

  • 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.

  • Great!, I love this song, do you happen to have the guitar sheet music for it, or hints on the picking pattern? Shahman

  • are you playing this two steps down..

  • 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.

  • WTF, you sound exactly like him, good playing too, lovely cover :)

  • 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.

  • wow. You're pretty much amazing. I love the song, and you did a great job with it. It's easily one of the best Elliott covers I have heard to date.
