It almost seems that he becomes uncomfortable when people ask him to play Miss Misery; see how he fidgets his strum hand? Also, it is evident he was a trained musician because when he tunes the fourth string down a half step he tunes it flat and then comes up. Never tune from sharp to neutral!

[skubz]

That doesn't necessarily mean anything. I was never formally "trained" and I know to do that. I'm not saying he was or was not taught professionally, but that can't be used as reason enough.

[charliebjustice]

actually, the guild of american luthiers recommends (in their super complicated instructions for tempered tuning)tuning from sharp down to pitch. otherwise the string retains extra tension above the head nut and will settle sharp.

[skubz]

Oh wow, never heard that. Thats interesting to know, but I still think that the average guitar will tend to go flat faster than a guitar personally crafted in the hands of a luthier.

I may be completely wrong though!

[slicknicknirvana]

Is he playing at a frat house?god those guys are idiots.

[starbright93]

those guys are so annoying

[serbestcagrisim]

fuckin american crowd

[jasonchappel]

what fucking retards in the crowd

[DukeMcManhands]

@slicknicknirvana hey, they clap before and after and shut up in the middle. what more can you ask?

[evilvon]

@charliebjustice I get the best results tuning down and then tuning up but different strings are different cases... it really matters if you use heavy gauged, light gauged and if you have a 3v3 or 6 in line headstock... bridge matters a bit too.. if you have an archtop or tune o matic bridge you'll have much more tension.

DON'T YELL AT HIM

[sbandy45]

STOP SCREAMING AT HIM ASSHOLES

[weskatebaked]

if you read his bio called the big nothing you would know he thought himself and was winning piano comps at like age 13

[kainindustries]

@slicknicknirvana seems like every video i see of him the audience is acting like this.. interviewers also tended to be huge dicks to him. don;t quite get it, maybe the audience felt uncomfortable because he was so subdued

[maudeleonore]

The audience is annoying! Poor Elliott...

[florafawna]

His body language is so awkward and sweet! he's like Charlie Brown! haha RIP Mr. Smith :)
