Misery Let Me Down Elliott Smith-cover
Вставка

- Acoustic cover of Elliott Smith Misery Let Me Down played on 1965 Gibson Hummingbird. Elliott used this as a "warm up" song before recording some songs in a radio station studio. He only played half of the song before he just stopped mid song, and moved on to other songs. Really a great thing to get leaked for all us ES fans out here though. I wish I had the lyrics to the rest of it to try to finish something ES never was able to...pretty lofty! Don't know if I even have the guts to attempt it even if I had the words? Hope you enjoy what he gave us anyway.
Just half of this song is better than most of the songs that we have now
Never thought someone would have a cover of this. Great job. Sounds just like him.
as ES songs go...this one was not so bad to figure out. Singing was a little too high for me to do. But rather than try to transpose it, I just threw it out there with my weak voice effort. Thanks for the kudos my friend!
Hello there, Very well done rendition of this song. I just subscribed to your channel. I've seen a lot of your Elliott Smith covers & on you tube thus far you are the best, you always play them exactly right & better than anyone else's attempts.I know you've probably been asked this a lot since you figure out his songs better than anyone.But I am dying for this tab, cause I can't figure it out.I was wondering if you could tab it out,or if you have the tabs for it.I would be indebted to you.
Consuguio pana😂🎉
Man you're so good!
i really thought no one would figure out how to play this song. im astonished at how well you did. great job!
thanks for watching and commenting. More to come!
Superb :) Great voice and guitar. Nice to come across an ES song I have never heard before too. Thanks for posting.
That is a great take! Thanks for sharing, sounded lovely.
Would definitely love to see your show with all of the Elliott covers. Please post! Good luck!
Great job, man! I'm always wary of people covering Elliott (particularly such an obscure song), but you nailed it!
I'm guessing Elliott was in tune for the recording, but it's probably a cassette tape that leaked, and the playback was just slightly fast or slow....
Well, that was fantastic, now I'm off to have a look at some more of your videos!
friggin brilliant man... I sit and listen to your beautiful weaving of a familiar tune. With only the moon for company, of course. My girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me the other day... I was gonna ask her to marry me. Now im pouring over what I could've-should've done differently... anyways. thanks dude, bye bye for now
thanks for watching! getting ready to post Pretty(ugly before)
very nice, beautifull guitar and excellent choice!
Thanks for introducing me to this tune!
@econsi1 thanks for checking it out! I am coordinating a night of my Elliott covers. I am hoping for something in the next month or so? When it happens, I may record the whole show and put that up here? Thanks for saying so my friend!!!!
you do the best, makes me miss ES
xo
good job loved it
Ohhhhh....sooooo good....your voice and the sound of that Gibson...could listen all day....sometimes with Elliott's lyrics weren't so darn sad....but hey....can't complain....and gotta ask, have you ever thought putting on an all-Elliott cover show?
Awesome man. Much appreciated. Keep up the good work
this is fantastic
didnt know this song too, but so nice
and very nice played :)
Great job
wonderful
Nice cover, thanks for sharing.
Best,
Cyrus
@AcousticMusicianESWS HA! thanks for coming back to see if it met your expectations! Thanks again for the request, MIke
By any chance would be able to do a tutorial on this song i cant seem to figure out out by myself
well played sir!
wow really good
That was fuckin unreal. Well done.
Nice cover
What venue for the gig? And I am hoping you are in the Midwest! (and uh, meant to say "sometimes 'wish' Elliott's lyrics weren't so darn sad" -- sheez....)
What are the chords?? Awesome cover man!
good job
Why, you're only 2,000 miles and 34 hours away! What's that compared to the hours you spend practicing, eh? Oh....all joking aside...I will happily settle for the video....I had to settle for videos of Elliott, too. Luckily, there are numerous ones out there. My favorites are the videos that are simple -- just a guy and his guitar in a room.....hey, that sounds familiar!? Good luck with your show and please keep us posted!
So yeah I hope it's not too late to ask but how about them chords for this song please
first chord of the bridge/ chorus? preettyy pleaseee?!?!!?!
Sir do you have the tabs?
Hey man, awesome cover! Do you think you can message me the chords? Much thanks
Hey my friend. just sent you a private message with the chord. This window would not let me post any message with characters in it? not even the string names?
voice was fine. a lot of great singers voice are not perfect.. its more about the effort and feel. i like when guys like elliott and paul mccartney will go a bit out of range and their voice cracks a little. u obviously know ur ES and thats whats really important.. next time finish the song tho (j/k). the out-of-tune guitar interests me as i heard elliott talk about this before. hmm
radidal
nice
didnt know this song too, but so nice
and very nice played :)
