Going Nowhere (Elliott Smith) Guitar Tutorial

*I forgot to mention it in this video, but if you want to play it in the same key as Elliott, you should tune your entire guitar down a full step so the strings are DGCFAD!

So this is a tutorial I made for the Elliott Smith song "Going Nowhere" from New Moon. I realise that there are quite a few tabs out there but I think this song requires some extra small technique stuff like some muting and strumming styles that can't really be conveyed through tabs so I figured I would make this video. Let me know if it helped you or not, or if you think there are some improvements that can be made.



*The tab I used to get the basics down for this is located here: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/e/elliott_smith/going_nowhere_tab.htm

@AliceGoneStatic actually, i'll take that back seeing as i've managed to figure it out now ;-)

This is my favourite Elliott Smith song, so great to see a visual tutorial as I've been finding it hard to understand the tabs as a complete beginner.

Still can't get my head around the really fast bit yet though, can't see when and where you're lifting fingers off strings.

Other then that, this is awesome, thanks :-)
