coming up roses is a term used in drug world specifically shooting up heroin, when you draw back the plunger to see if you are in a vein, blood will shoot into the syringe in a ploom that resembles red roses. im a junkyard full of false starts, junk = heroin, false starts= trying to get sober and failing. Your videos are awesome man keep up the great work, I miss ellliot so bad its unreal...
“So you got in a kind of trouble that nobody knows” that means a relapse. Holy shit. I slipped relapsed, whatever and going through PAWS hard. And I never knew that’s what he means!! Thank you for the info. This is one of my favorite songs by him. My best friend who died right next to me sleeping, ODed, showed me Elliot when we were 15 years old. Love Elliot and my friend. Also read a couple of books on Elliot. Really wish he would have experienced some recovery. Anyone else struggling with addiction. Get help and stay active! Godbless
His fingerstyle, especially his strumming is so unique, just looks like he's playing blues (always use the thumb) , could you please make a video about how he strums?
Incredible. I finally figured out the intro the other night with the open bottom strings just below the ones played. Took me forever but was listening to the figure 8 tour version and finally really heard it. Geez... what a catchy song! I still haven't figured out clementine except I have a ghetto version on e standard tuning 😂😂 very ghetto. I guess it wouldnt be too hard to tune it to its weird tuning.
Been waiting for this one, I've already been playing Single File your way since watching that vid. I'll definitely learn it this weekend. Thanks for your hard work! My fav song off the album is Satellite, I know how to play it by heart. If you need anything hit me up!
awesome cailean! Satellite is going up soon. I learned all the songs before starting the series but please let me know if I miss anything when you get a chance to check out that video!
Any chance you have PDFs with the TABS or chord charts you could post or send me? If you're in Southern CA, there is a girl doing a Elliott Smith tribute night. I'm trying to learn a number of these to do there. Let me know about any PDFs you could share. Thanks!
Thank you! I've mentioned this in a couple videos - recently the Good To Go video - but I've avoided using chord names bc Elliott usually doesn't use normal chord shapes. I think using chord diagrams is the best way to communicate his guitar parts, with all their cool quirks. If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to answer!

The guy can write a very long and interesting chord progression. This is a great video.
I have absolutely LOVED this song for at least 25 years. Loved the breakdown 👍
This is such a well made video. I expect this out of a channel with at least 100k subscribers.
This is absolutely brilliant. Thank you.
I love Elliott's style. So glad to have found this. Great work man. Subbed!
Love this, can't wait for alphabet town!
Appreciate how much work you put into these videos and tutorials! Love hearing your own vocal harmonies on the back. Great attention to detail
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL BRO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOURE THE BEST !
Yes!!!!! Been excited for this one particularly
People sleeping on this song is wild as fuck. Also, as a die-hard Elliott fan, he never made a skippable song shit!!! All Bangers!!!!!

Great work. Can't wait to give it a shot
This has always been one of my favorites. Great job on tabbing all these man. You should continue these videos through other albums!

great content… dont know if it is too much to ask but will definitely appreciate it if you can also put the chord name there

On chord sheet number fret plz
My favorite thing about Elliot smith is that he'll just stop playing and say "i can't do this anymore" and just play another song. lol
Elliot looks like Liam Gallagher in that music video lol
