    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 😄

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

      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

    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 🖤

    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!

  • @raph2k01
    @raph2k01 Рік тому +15

    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

    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!

    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!

    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

    @tedroberts6176 2 роки тому +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!

  • @calvinkleinalvin
    @calvinkleinalvin 2 роки тому +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.

    @chrissondej6962 2 роки тому +2

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!

    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

    1) How did Elliot come up with these gorgeous filly bits and chord progressions, so tasty? He is just magical. 2) How did you ear pick up on all this? Listening to the original so many times, sometimes the vocals just sort of muddy the guitar parts to me. But i guess in other parts of the song the guitar plays the same thing and it's a bit more clear.. I just love Elliot. Im only 21 so clearly before my time, but i still feel really privileged to be able to hear all of his music 🙂 So sad he was taken so young. Justin this arrangement is gorgeous, thank you so much for everything you do. If there is one song which is currently Way up there in terms of difficulty for me, it would be this one. But man i would LOVE to be able to play it one day

    I never really had a problem because of leaving

    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
