that was solid as fuck

I'm incredibly impressed that you can play this and sing this at the same time. Excellent rendition and thank you very much for the tutorial

This is the Mt. Everest of guitar songs. I'd say you scaled it. Bravo.

I can't fathom how you managed to get everything so perfect. Even the singing was so on point. Just excellent!

Even Elliot struggled to play this great job

As someone who obsesses over detail, I really admire your mastery of this song. Great job man.

nailed the guitar parts flawlessly bro and ur voice sounds very close to Elliott, great job!

This album got me through an incredibly tough time, and so I can’t listen to it anymore because it makes me cry. But I love this song so much. So I came here to listen to a cover thinking it wouldn’t be Elliott’s voice, so it wouldn’t cut into the deepest part of my soul. But it was so beautifully performed, so gentle and so well done, that it hit me as hard as it does when I hear the original. And I cried a lot. So it defeated the point, lol. But I have a lot of respect for this performance so I wanted to say so. Nice work.

Never seen such a competent cover of this. nice job.

Just learned between the bars, but this... this is my new life goal. Thanks so much for taking the time to really nail this down. This has always been on my list of "I'll never be that good" songs, can't wait to attempt it.

Doing the big man a lot of justice. Really enjoyed that well done.

Remarkable. Nice to see Elliott's genius lives on in others willing to put in the hard work. Big thumbs up and well done!

That transition between the g and d chord in the intro is so simple but complex and hard to get down smoothly. Props to you for nailing this cover(and lesson). Just makes you appreciate elliotts mastery and sound even more.

Wow.

The most accurate cover of this song on the Internet! Sang and played beautifully! All the songs from Elliott Smith suit you very well!

you have a beautiful voice -- it carries the tenderness of the original. and your guitar playing is without fault. excellent, excellent, heart-breaking work.

Like your voice, reminded me alittle of jose gonzalez in parts, very good!

I sometimes click and watch this every so often. Very impressive guitar player! Amazing job

Agreed, this is the truest version I've seen on the YT.

Because of this cover I'm going to dedicate the next ? days learning how to play this amazing song like you. Thanks for the cover AND the lessons to go along with it. You did Elliott proud, brother. Truly.

I've seen countless versions on KZfaq but yours is the best!

Seriously fantastic. Love all your Elliot Smith covers. Where'd you go?

incredible! I play it completely wrong haha, nice to see how it is really played, thanks for posting this!

He’s good. He does the Nick Drake with the classical picking in the beginning and just strums the chords out when he starts singing.

Absolutely crushed it dude, well done. Fantastic playing.

I was never able to learn this song until I watched your videos. They're all great. On top of that, this cover is damn beautiful. All around amazing work! Keep at it and you'll have a ton of subs in no time, I bet.

That was amazin man. I find this channel a couple weeks ago and having so much fun learning a few songs from your tutorials. The time you put into them is much appreciated. Also, I don't know if you've ever been told this but your vocal tone reminded me of the lead singer of the smoking popes. Thanks so much!

Amazing dude! I've listened to your cover 5 times over already. So so so well done.

This is so good, and your tutorials are super helpful and well-made. Thank you for this. I've been wanting to play this song for awhile now.

So glad I came across this...beautiful job.

This is my first time ever hearing this song because a person on instagram recommended i learn it, but you did an amazing job! Truly beautiful!

This is the most beautiful cover I’ve ever heard. Your voice is perfect.

I spent a few weeks learning this song from Ethan. Finally nailing this song is what brought my playing to the next level. So grateful for Ethan's work here. Amazing cover as well.

Elliott Smith has been my all time favourite for a long time, and I'm happy to see someone putting in the work to break down his songs for others to learn as well, I'm glad I found your channel. You're doing awesome work!

this is brilliant man, it really puts me in a zone. thanks

This is marvelous :D Thanx for the tutorial,and keep doing it!!

Hey Ethan. I cannot lavish enough praise on your lesson series on how to play Angeles. It's been a week now since I first came across it, and it's starting to sound good. I particularly like the meticulousness of your teaching. The tabs. Awesome. The the many camera angles, left hand etc. awesome. All in all this is first rate teaching material. Very good. I have a request also. Could you consider doing a similar video on Bob Dylans "Don't think Twice"? Or at least point me to a /complete/ tab. Great work you're doing.

Thank you very much, you're really inspirational, and I personally think you've caught the feeling. I'm going to learn this with your lesson, thank you again

beautiful cover,lovely voice

That was a beautiful job, absolutely beautiful !!

this is perfect!! wow!! this is my goal to be able to play like this

Speaking as a huge Elliott Smith fan, I have to say that you absolutely did him justice in this video. Incredible job--this is such a tricky song to play. :)

Everytime I watch Elliott's cover on youtube reminds me of how much of a great guitar player he was.

Thank you very much for posting this video!! I´m practicing this song now for nearly two month, it`s getting better all the time 😀

great song , great singing ...thank you Ethan .

Much love .. The best cover I've seen on you tube.. Would you ever do a cover kings crossing with alternate lyrics? Keep up the amazing work.. Your talent is a masterpiece

This is incredible. Amazing!

Wow, amazing! Really really good job. Cant wait to walk through your tutorial

This is amazing man!! Hope youre still playing!

Sweet that was awesome. I've always wanted to learn more E Smith songs. Just need to do it!

Your voice is so calming. I love listening to your cover

incredible job man, be proud of this cover. very nice.

This is great. You play his stuff pretty flawlessly which is difficult because he’s such a good guitar player. It’s a shame he still goes unnoticed, his song writing was next level.

Beautiful cover

Wow that was beautiful.

Beautiful performance!!
