Son of Sam - Elliott Smith

[HarmonizeTheWind]

Best cover of an Elliott Smith song I have ever heard. FABULOUS!!

[projekctgonzo]

Man for moments you sounded like Elliott. You are great. I´ll be very busy looking at the chords

[joeythedwarf]

brilliant!!!

[koOrrigan]

I just wanted to say your covers are very inspiring and make me want to work more on the guitar ; thanks for sharing with the world!

PS: I just bought the Martin 00-15M (new serie to replace the 15), awesome sound too!

[QueenInYell0w]

Your voice is very close to his. And awesome guitar playing!

[elia8604]

awesome man. guitar sounds great and your voice sounds great as well

[LoveManMusic]

wow you so good

[normanhate]

Outstanding.. I always wonder how it is possible to write such particular songs

[jainsworr]

Holy crap.

[thisisnotjaz]

So I made a YouTube account just for this. Absolutely brilliant cover. I've watched your other Elliott Smith covers as well, all spot on, and watching you play Miss Misery has even taught me how to make the proper hand shapes I've been missing.

However, this is REALLY the song I need to learn! Would it be possible for you to make some sort of a slower breakdown of the song? Just to show the shapes you use?

Cheers! Truly excellent! Bravo.

[newcastledavey73]

Superb work mate!

[emusic45]

Wow, typically Elliot Smith covers sound awful. This is really really good.

[masterassasn]

here is the tab i think he used

i cant ppost it but go to sweet adeline an elliott smith fan page for the most accurate tabs and chords good luck all

[fademer]

@masterassasn Hi, I didn't use any tab, just my ears :-)

[masterassasn]

@fademer sure

[Gettinghitonattheban]

Got the chords! =D Now I just need to figure out that pesky intro. :| that the piano plays.

[fademer]

@Gettinghitonattheban Good luck! Listen more carefully to the intro and you'll notice the guitar is playing that riff at unison with the piano!

[LENNYlanes]

beautiful work best cover ive heard, you have his pitch which is rare, i do know on your backround vocal part you should hit B7 then F on "ohhhh hoeeeee" part lol just a thought i see you going to some sort of F#? hopefully i can learn from this video the strumming

[fademer]

@LENNYlanes Nope that is a B on bass note F# and open treble strings : 221000 in tab-notation. For the strumming, just pick the bass notes separately and strum with your forefinger up and down. Have fun!

[velocet8]

dude that was savage! it'd take me years to work all that out theres some fruity chords goin on there. However i shall rip off ur skill and try and learn it via this vid. Peace out.

[jaaayjay1221]

for a second i thought i was listening to Elliott Smith.

[ElWeasle]

Completely incredible, and perfectly executed.

[theRandomMontage]

do you figure these out on ur own

[fademer]

@theRandomMontage Sure, it's a good ear training :-)

[lefte18]

this is great

[andyfelts]

Bravo! Amazing cover!!!

[fademer]

@timrearranged Sorry I have no tabs, but I hope the video can help you enough to learn the song?

[Bretb07]

Hell yeah man fucking good!

[vanoyd]

awesome work beautifully delivered - bravo

[pressureofdays]

Very good, keep 'em coming.

[BernardTunes]

Very talented man

[woodevlin]

Thank you, sir, for teaching me how to play this song. :)

Flawless rendition.

[sofiamascate]

[cartographersband]

I don't remember your chord voicing hand having a ring on it in your older vidoes. You dog, you. I am going to formally request you make a video of New Disaster off of New Moon.

[fademer]

@cartographersband I love that song too... actually I love them all. Please be patient 'cause I don't have much time for youtube stuff :-( Tx, Fad

[federicobets]
