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

[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!

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!

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.

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!
