Of course he could sing & play it simultaniously. Elliott is a god, he wrote this shit; scribed it on the walls of forever. He could sing every one of his songs while playing.
wow, musically, this is probably the best memory lane cover i have seen to date!! great job! if only you sang:(. do you think you could share the tabs to your version with a fellow elliott/guitar enthusiast?
i just wanna say that was great and respectful to Elliott's music. Great job dude. You don't even have to send me the tabs, although i'd love play it but i rather hear his cd while i'm driving and 'going nowhere' :) hell yeah maybe driving on 'memory lane'(ok that's enough i know, just saying i love his music more than life itself. peace
Some dude below says "pretty good." I am a pretty advanced guitar player who can play Yes, lots of challenging country Jerry Donahue type stuff, same jazz - flawleassly. This isn't pretty good; it's great. Lots of Ragtime-like picking going on there, and his timing is excellent. It also highlights how great Elliott Smith was -- and he was singing with this!!
I recently spent some hours figuring out this song and my way of playing it is VERY similar to this way (exact same notes, but there are a few minor structure differences). You've got the right notes, unlike most people! Good job.
the two on sweetaddy tabs are a little are a little bite wrong...i don't say that a play it better...but i cant' make them sound the song playing their tabs...maybe it comes from me!
usually covers of elliott are people cheating and dumbing them down and make them sound like shit. you are very talented and a great guitarist. now if you could only sing like elliott :P awesome video
PS : Si t'as toujours la tab je dis pas non !

This is magnificent.
I wonder if Elliott could sing this song while playing it on the guitar simultaneously?
The guitar part is itself a feat-- with singing it would seem near impossible!

have you not heard, or at least seen videos on here of elliott actually playing this song, and singing it too?
