I used to think of chords as solid, bold, and complete sounds. The guitarist Eric Johnson's playing taught me that chords are composed of simultaneous melodies, each note on it's track, running alongside others in parallel. Your playing has taught me that chords are the echoes of dancers. Tumultuous and fleeting as their motion may be, they give, take, and compliment beautifully, as to make some ineffable whole. Thank you for sharing.
My all-time favorite break up song. Basically any Elliott Smith song will work though. I love all your Smith covers, it gives them such a different energy while still maintaining the same emotion.
@@heavypiano holy cow, dude. I didn't even knew that was a service that existed. I sent them a request, and they're gonna let me know how much it'll cost. Let's pray it'll be super cheap haha. I'll let you know how it goes if I do it, maybe you can post the link in the description amd future viewers can have free access!
@@heavypiano Ok, the price they gave me wasn't cheap. I'm gonna try learning it from watching your video but maybe I'll cave... Your playing is amazing. I've been playing for a few months (although I had some lessons as a child) and I am simply in awe of TH-camrs like you who can make their own gorgeous arrangements from a song. How does that process work? Does it help to know music theory? How long does it take? Do you write it down, or just memorize it? Or is it more like improvising on camera?
@@harlequingurls879 Thanks for your compliments! I usually learn songs by ear, get the basic chords and melody as well as song structure memorized, then start experimenting with rhythms and styles. After practicing a bit I'll stick a camera up and record some takes until I feel like I capture the feeling or energy of the song in a way that makes sense to me. For some reason I thought I had already recorded a tutorial for Miss Misery, but I hadn't yet! I'll start working on that here in a bit and I hope you might find it helpful. Take care!
Hi ruhi, sorry, no sheets. I think you can find the chord progression online. I like to show my hands so you can take notes that way. Thanks for your compliments.
I think you're one of the rare person who has well understood the Elliott's Smith music
i mean he forgot a lot of chords in this version, but its pretty fire

Wow-that is really nice of you to say, I'm glad you enjoyed this.
i feel that is the most poetic thing said within this comment section, cheers!
I want this to be played in my head forever
What a nice compliment, thank you!

Thanks Arlin. I'm working on more Elliott right now for the channel and hope to have some new videos soon.
Your piano compositions are some of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard, they make me want to cry
I just stumbled on your channel. You capture the feel of Elliott's music so perfectly in your covers.
I cann't believe that it's not watched or liked more!! It's so beautiful 😍 I listened to it all the time❣
I don't think I could play this as well as you.... but I keep a good attitude
amaaazing...played with with so much emotion !!! Fabulous
Your playing moved me. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Brandon.
simply beautiful
Thanks Thomas.
Made my horrible, horrible day much better
I'm glad to hear that the music made your day better. Here's to a better day today!
Your music is heaven on earth.
Fucking great cover. Well done. Love the appoggiaturas in the middle voice in the right hand.
An amazing cover of an amazing song. Thank you.
this and your version of angeles are incredible, i reckon 'can't make a sound' by elliott would sound equally as amazing on the piano.
Would LOVE to see a sythesia of this one! Appreciate you.
Oh, that's a good idea. Cheers.
so perfect
Thanks douglas
Excellent
So, so good.
oh my god, this is so good, thank you.
Thanks Lenny
Plush and enriching!
Thanks Razab!
gorgeous! keep it up!
Prefer this arrangement, to be honest. Not one of my favourite songs by him, but this is undeniably gorgeous.
Elliott Smith is my favorite songwriter but I've never enjoyed Miss Misery, til now.
Strange, I always considered it one of his best compositions
How have you never enjoyed miss misery?
That piano sounded sexy. Great job
Ha, thanks Stephen.
Great like usual. Do you think you could do 2:45 AM, Cupid's Trick or A Fond Farewell? You do Elliott Smith perfectly.
I love Elliott Smith :)
Nice
Thanks for listening.
i would kill for sheet music to this. help me out brother!
I'm flattered. These folks can help you out: www.mysheetmusictranscriptions.com/piano

@@harlequingurls879 I used them for several transcriptions of my original pieces and they did a really nice job.

Is there any way or will there be any way that you upload this cover s sheet along with other renditions. Great sound, well played also.

I just love you now!
What model of piano did you used in this cover?
This is a Mason and Hamlin BB.
Damn...
You kind of butchered it to be honest.
