      After leaning angles and alameda, I have returned a new man to learn this with my slightly larger brain.

    To this day, I still wonder how Elliott came up with such beautiful chord progressions. He had such a compelling grasp on harmony, probably from his Beatles influence 😄

      So many great songs.

      He had a serious grasp on classical and baroque music. This is where alot of his melodies and harmonic concepts came from.

      @C-Llama 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I've found guitar to be a great instrument to just sit down and grind out a song even if it's above your skill level. Used to try to do the same with piano but found it much harder and ended up injuring my hands

  • @raph2k01
    @raph2k01 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    One of those songs I come back to every now and then when my hands are stronger and can control the instrument better to play these awkward licks. So helpful that there's a tutorial out and I don't have to full on wing it, thank you so much :)

    • @raph2k01
      @raph2k01 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Got it down to a key maybe a month ago, worth the process learned some cool new phrases and got way better at bends.

    Brought me to tears. Recently, moved out of the apartment from living with my girlfriend we're going through a break and just moved into an empty house, this song is all i can think of and try to play the last few days/nights. Killer lesson Justin, thank you for everything you teach! 💙

      I’m with you brother this was the song I played when I lost my ex. It’s been years now and I’ve moved on but every time I listen to this song is brings me back to that pain but in a way it’s a beautiful pain. Reminds me that I once loved so hard. The power of Elliotts music 🖤

    no way you taught me everything i started with and now three years into my journey you’re about to teach me a song ive honestly been a little nervous to approach, from the bottom of my heart i wish you the absolute best justin you’re so wonderful

  • @19rick69
    @19rick69 3 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    Love it when you break out these not-so-well known classics! More Elliott Smith please and the way you are teaching is perfect. Thanks for all your hard work!

  • @suzuki12334
    @suzuki12334 3 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    Hey Justin keep them comin these Eliott songs, this lesson definitely does the justice! You're right, this is intermediate stuff and the best way that works for me in terms of strumming is switching between you and original song for every little segment. Cheers!

  • @AployHD
    @AployHD 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I fell in love with the way elliot played the guitar, its so unique and playfull. The exact way i want to take my journey! I have learned 4 ellipt smith songs now and i will keep learning more to adopt his playstyle even more!

  • @TalathDirnenPrepper
    @TalathDirnenPrepper 3 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Elliott Smith is one of my favourite artists and his music is intoxicating. Keep ‘em coming, we all need some Elliott in our lives! I’ve got Waltz #2 XO and Needle in the Hay down but I think I’ll need a nap before tackling this one!

  • @charlesdartagnan8788
    @charlesdartagnan8788 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Man I'm so glad you're a big Elliott Smith fan and put so much effort into dissecting these songs so well. Also love that you sing more freely now.

  • @yearnpill
    @yearnpill 3 ปีที่แล้ว +103

    This is one of the most underrated of Elliott’s songs, I really think it belongs in a sad movie scene or something. Thanks for the lesson!

  • @nickdcc
    @nickdcc 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Excellent song choice and flawless demonstration, Justin. I remember I started playing guitar 13 years ago, and the reason I wanted to learn guitar was because I wanted to be able to play Pink Bullets by The Shins. That was how I came across your channel and learned about you. I discovered Elliott Smith around 2009 and then listened to him ever since. I'm really glad you discovered him as well and started doing lessons of his songs. I tried to learn this tune once, but it was too complex. I think that Elliott Smith is honestly the greatest musician of our time, and there is no other musician out there who can produce such tremendously powerful and heartbreakingly beautiful music. Thanks for doing this song, you are absolutely the greatest guitar teacher out there. Happy Holidays!

    I'm obsessed with him.
    Thank you!

  • @jim122
    @jim122 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    One of the best songs Elliott ever wrote and played! A perfect lesson and a stellar cover at the start, it really suited Justin’s voice

  • @reflection1119
    @reflection1119 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Please do more Elliot Smith. This was great! Thank you.
    If id discovered Elliott Smith when I first started playing 18 years ago I would have probably played far more consistently and be a better player today. His music is really inspiring me to improve and this is the first song of his I've learned to play thanks to your video

  • @Rgdonaire_07
    @Rgdonaire_07 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

  • @calvinkleinalvin
    @calvinkleinalvin 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you, great tutorial, really helped me get it! After learning and playing back with the track I spotted a couple of little embellishments. In the second chorus, when it goes to the ‘D7’ you can insert a ‘C’ as a passing chord to take you to the ‘Fmag7’. And then from the ‘G’ you can insert a passing chord of ‘D’ with a ‘F#’ bass note (and open top string) on the way back down to the ‘Fmag7’. Elliott’s songs are always laced with little extra flourishes like that which make his songwriting so deep and special. Looking forward to more of your vids.

  • @pvonsoosten
    @pvonsoosten 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Definitely more like this! You're right, this is definitely not simple, but playing it slow and cleanly with you explaining the idea of each section is enough to get it.

  • @aldentepasta3787
    @aldentepasta3787 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

  • @tedroberts6176
    @tedroberts6176 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Awesome lesson. Advanced intermediate but would like more of these. I now have 3 or 4 new fill licks to use while jamming in C. Only suggestion would be to briefly mention the scale boxes that the licks are coming from. Helps us understand why it works. Thanks J!

  • @chrissondej6962
    @chrissondej6962 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great tutorial and a perfect level of detail/explanation. I like the "nuts & bolts" approach on songs like these, because as you said, playing it like Elliot is going to require a lot of listening and tinkering regardless. Thanks for this video!

    Finally! Justin, you were the first guitar teacher on TH-cam that really helped me learn the guitar beginning 7 years ago. I've bought your books and appreciate all the ways you've broken down songs. This is the song I've longed to learn how to play and could never get it just right. When I saw you did the live transcription months ago, I was looking forward for this video. Thank you very much! More Elliott Smith!

  • @ShrapnelTwo

    Elliotts songs always sound so much easier than they actually are. But they're also uniquely beautiful

  • @isaachull1646
    @isaachull1646 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    love the Elliott songs! few people online do good tutorials on them, so I thought I would forever be without the ability to play this one (which is one of my favorites, but beyond my ability to learn by ear) This lesson made it easy enough though, thanks a lot !

    I'm not fluent in English. but I need to thank you for teaching us this song. Elliott was part of my youth, so creative in his compositions, he explored the complexity of the simple without ever being simplistic. Have you ever taught Nick Drake's song Road? love how the guitar sounds

    I never really had a problem because of leaving
    But everything reminds me of her this evening
    So if I seem a little out of it, sorry
    But why should I lie? Everything reminds me of her
    The spin of the earth impaled a silhouette
    Of the sun on the steeple
    And I gotta hear the same sermon
    All the time now from you people:
    'Why are you staring into outer space, crying?
    Just because you came across it, and lost it'
    Everything reminds me of her
    Everything reminds me of her
    Everything reminds me of her
