    anyone who's ever thought, "Oh, 'Independence Day', maybe I'll give that one a go", knows how insanely difficult this song is to play. he makes it look absolutely effortless. incredible musician, incredible songwriter, and such a sad loss to the world.

    This guitar riff is easily one of my favorite things Elliott wrote. Just so beautiful.

    His ability to write music was from outer space. He wrote tons and tons of really melodic, melancoholic and simple but complex tunes and this one is a good example.

    His guitar playing is at the top of its game in this video. Thanks for posting!

    His melodies never repeated themselves, like most music today. The vision he had to invent such unique vocal lines will never be equaled. He's without a doubt, the greatest songwriter ever. His lyrics alone are light years ahead of anyone else. Then throw in his insane chord progressions, his open tunings mastery, his use of modal interchange, modulation, seemless key changes, haunting harmonies, multifaceted lyrics... Simply the 🐐

    What I’ve seen so far, he was on top of his game in the years 1999/2000 as it comes to live performances. ❤️

      I don’t know if you’ll see this…but as far as new music goes, Ren is a recent artist that has had an impact.

    It's a shame that this guy didn't get ANY airplay.

    What he’s doing with his fingers doesn’t look “simple” to me. And I’ve been playing a few years.
