badass

The ghost of your smile's always looking For new bodies to haunt And it's been here and disappeared It's hanging around aloofly for a while Gradually gone It's pleasing and freezing Well, I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster You looked all over town, got turned around To walk back through the mud The kind you had left behind you Everybody is the same in this long no-win game Where every new blood Gets time to become resigned Now I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster Why you never tried to tame your master? You just blow through the coals Blow through the coals Blow through the coals 'Til everyone knows that your smile is just a ghost The ghost of your smile was seen on a body in the park It's old news You see that it's no use Waiting to start, waiting to light Waiting 'til dark I told you, man I told you Well, I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster Why you never tried to tame your master?

Ive been trying to figure out the first 5 seconds of this song for ages and now I've just about got the whole song thanks to you, thanks man, you're awesome

this is insane, how did he come up with that. And how did you figure this out. Thanks man :)

But why the E minor chord exactly at the moment where you don‘t play the strings you‘re pressing on ?

Well, you shouldn't doctor yourself Well, I pictured somebody else Someone who looks like What I look like Would you say that the one of your dreams Got in you and ripped out the seams? That's what I'd say That's what I'd say He was a sucker for your double dose Motherfucker turned white as a ghost Don't you say hi? Don't you say hi? With a broken sink for a face And a head that just takes up space He's not half right He's not half right It's already half passed And it wont last I was sticking up for my friend And there's nothing much to defend It's a lost fight It's a lost fight 'Cause when I talk to you on the phone Well, it's just like being alone It's not half right It's not half right

Wow I feel like an idiot. Could never figure out why I couldn't get it to sound the same as the recording and the second your video pulls up I see the 12 string and it suddenly clicks...

Gotta say man this song has been the bane of my existence with the timing and picking pattern so needless to say I've been watching tutorials and IMO the way you play it sounds the best and is true to the original recording (not counting the weird tuning he's in) keep it up, also itd be awesome if you could do Pitseleh, it's a simple enough song chord wise but I don't know what I'm getting wrong cuz it sounds way off when I play

Was trying to learn by ear and kept giving up so fair play to for figuring it out thank you!!

THANK YOU for putting this up! Finally a tutorial of this song on youtube - very happy, gracious! :)

Man i would love a tutorial for this song

Learning this on my third day at college. Hoping to impress girls. Thank you guitar man

If you could make chord shape photos i would he able to learn it. For me there are just way too many chords for me to remember through lots of repetition, I'm a visual learner so it would help a ton

thank you for making this, very helpful!

Great lesson! Would love to see more Elliott Smith Tutorials <3

Great playing, amazing cover!

It's an amazing cover but the last part was added 1:51 or so plus. It wasn't in this performance. Great job otherwise. Im playing it now.

yes, need tutorial plz. Just learned half right from yours.

Great tutorial! Thank you for all of these

Parkwood?

Thanks for the lesson, glad to see you back :) This song seems simple, but there are so many little details

😌 beautiful

It is simply beautiful, that personal touch that you have given makes your version unique without leaving the essence of the original, my congratulations, I hope one day you upload a tutorial of your magnificent version

cant wait to learn this fr thx for ur effort dude

Hey man could you do a tutorial for whatever folk song in c??? Just learnt talking to Mary thanks a lot awesome videos

Tutorial ?

You are the best man thanks a lot!!

Great lesson man

What is the model of the Yamaha guitar you’re playing ?

Thanks. You're video really helped me

Great lesson ! Thank you :). I wonder if Elliott played with a pick on the recording, it seems easier to get all the little details with a pick.

right at the beginning it's not a C major chord, should be 3rd fret of 2nd string, not first fret... hold that 3rd fret D note on the 2nd string while you play the 2nd and 3rd fret notes on the first string.. try it and you'll hear it...

Just started learning this. That initial E-> A transition you do playing the A on the 5th fret makes alot of sense.

that was fantastic

Are you a lefty or is this in the mirror

Can you tell me the tuning and what fret the capo is on?

hey nice cover! is that a vintage FG-180? I own an FGX5 but I have the feeling the older ones are more resonant and louder just based out of recordings I hear on RUclips and of course from Elliot's performances...

Thank you for your super ghost..

hope you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year too! thanks for the cover, killed it :)

Please do a lesson for this

This is so good can you do a tutorial!

Very nice man.

This is great..! I only started learning guitar a few weeks ago & I'm documenting my entire learning journey on here so this was super motivational!

I wish I knew how èto play guitar...So Magical sound ...Congratulations 👏 keep playing !

great tutorial , just wish youd have played it through one time at the start

oh my gosh I'm so happy to have found this! One of my favourites by elliott, thank you for making it

So nice!

Such a beautiful song by Elliott. Great instruction, thank you. Cheers

hi, i love all of ur videos and covers and tutorials and i was wondering if you would be able to do a tutorial for going nowhere by elliott ?

this is helpful, thanks! i find this song is easier to play if you tune the high e string down a whole step
