well done moving the solo down...i had to record mine in two parts. check it out

[javsav]

i can't believe how you incorporated the solo into this, pure genius!

[javsav]

i don't know who the 5 were who disliked this but they were retards. if you like can you can check out my smith covers :(

[snilrach]

really really good

[gustercc]

fuck me dude! very good!

[LashaunaDerouin]

this is great :D

[MsMariaolivia]

i think i fell in love with you :))

[Forcedunder]

please do tab the solo.. haha.. it is so hard to find good tabs. Great job. Cheers.

[boofneenee]

you would be my hero if you could tab the solo bit out for us. Especially that chord you grab on the high end of the guitar neck.

thanks and good job

[allmostuffie]

..holy shit you are extremely good looking

[bicpenusa]

you sound a little like mark kozelek except his voice is a little lower than yours

[omgitsclaire91]

this was so beautiful. i love that you didn't try to make your voice sound like elliott's. you have a very rich tone and it suited the song very well. definitely one of the best elliott covers i've heard.

[boofneenee]

you wouldnt happen to have the tabs for the solo part??

nice job btw loved it

[JonahMicheaJudy]

Nice Tea Pot :)

[twinklybird]

I love this cover! Great job!

I'd love to hear a better quality recording of it though!

[theSurrogateGhost]

It's funny how you and I always seem to cover the same songs. You just do a better job at the technical side of it. I have been wondering where you went. Contact me if you get this.

a.k.a. the Surrogate Ghost

[TheBrooklynRadio]

I liked it, good job on the bridge as well.

Peace

[jmewho]

hated it

[AndTheTurtle]

You are absolutely amazing! Outstanding cover!

[meowmixX23]

[evianaive]

[SurfaceToday]

If you like this, check out some of my original stuff and comment, please.

[josefjon79]

crooners remix

[mikespinelli]

What tab are you using?

[SurfaceToday]

none, i figured it out

but here's a tip - look at some videos of elliott playing. there used to be a really good one posted.

[joshuak47]

Good voice, good guitar skill, but I don't think you should be singing Elliott. Maybe John Mayer (watch?v=SSSCMQbtGoU). It's as if a boy-band did an Elliott cover.... or like, if Creed did it, or something like that.

[joshuak47]

I just realized that might sound like an insult. I mean your voice is forceful, whereas his isn't. And I suppose that when I hear something that sounds so different from the way it was originally made, it shakes me up.

[joshuak47]

Oh, and I did give it a 5, and you have good taste in music.

[SurfaceToday]

Whoa man... that creed comment is way below the belt =)

[joshuak47]

what man, you don't like creed? how're you gonna insult them by saying that comment is below the belt :P

actually I made the comment on first listen, and felt it was justified... and then upon listening again, I thought I went too far... since youtube doesn't let you erase or edit comments (as far as I know), I tried to futilely dig myself out.

:/

[SurfaceToday]

dude don't worry about it, i completely understand the point you're making. to tell you the truth i don't want to try and sound like elliott - don't get me wrong, i love his records, love his songs and his voice, but that voice is his and not mine.

and do you really like creed? i figured we were in a safe zone to knock them cause of how removed they are from elliott...

[SurfaceToday]

but hey, each to his own, right?

[joshuak47]

no I was just kidding, I don't listen to Creed, but the guy's voice has power behind it, is all I was saying. Whereas with Elliott, I wonder if he didn't just embed a tune into the air he exhaled naturally...

[SurfaceToday]

i'm really glad you liked the show man, i'll keep you posted for new ones.

[marleyman622]

awesome job man. i saw you last night at the coffee house and i was really impressed

[mmcs122]

Hey, great cover. You have a really great singing voice! Hope you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism? I'd love to see you do this again -1 or 2 of your strings were out of tune..sometimes I don't realize it in my own until they're already posted - take a listen. I still gave it a 5 - your vocals and that instrumental break more than make up for it. -With the tuning tweaked, it could easily be a 6 ;)

[elliottsmith425]

amazing.

[supradude7891]

mmm.

J45.

Beautiful Vocals.

Taste in music.

[Countryhick567]

Rock on!!!!

[HoTnickZ]

Few comments:

- you have a great voice

- timing is a little off here and there but the performance overcomes this

- you put your own twist on it which is great

- has anyone ever told you that you look like Kirk Cameron?

[EsMiser]

please do more covers!

[Mikulcak]

I really liked your cover, your guitar-playing fits perfectly, very good.

Would you mind sending me the tabs, if you have them for the song?

Thank you very much

[peterdelatorre]

wow. from one musician to another, that was absolutely beautiful.

[Dragula222]

Yeah, that was a wicked solo. Did you figure that out by yourself? Great voice, and the songs definitely among the best of Elliott. Thanks for uploading.

[ashmariesurecan]

wow, I really liked hearing this. Definitely the best Elliott cover I've heard. got any more, I'd like to hear it?!

oh and I'm sure you've heard this before but your voice is very calm and melodic.

[ashmariesurecan]

wow, this is the best cover i have ever seen on youtube, without a doubt. i actually really liked listening to this, and want to hear more. haha

oh and by the way, im sure you know this but your voice is very calm and melodic.

how about some more?

[brightfella]

this was great, really nice voice i like what you did with the solo!
