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 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.
Thanks so much for this comment. Elliott's music is so good at being with people in their sadness, which is one reason why I love it so much. Sorry to hear that you're hurting, and I'll be wishing you some peace in it
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.
Storm - abram - far away - sensing owls - the nest - Killing for love...all of them ;) The tunings can get my head in knots before i even attempt anything :)
Ethan's guitar lessons and music Heartbeats has a pretty guitar part that's really relaxing to play. Thank you for this video, I've loved this song for a long time, it's great to be able to play it properly.
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.
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.
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.
you have a beautiful voice -- it carries the tenderness of the original. and your guitar playing is without fault. excellent, excellent, heart-breaking work.
God dang I wish I could fingerpick this well. I think I got most of the chords down, but that intro is still really difficult. Excellent cover dude! Singing was pretty on point, too.
you really nailed it man.. this gives me hope that i can get there. i have had to re-learn how to properly fingerpick to master this song. i can do it at about 3/4 speed now, partially thanks to your lessons.
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
This is more like the live version clip on RUclips where he slides up to the 2nd chord. I can look it up but any chords/tabs link you csn recommend. Killer job by the way , def one of the best Elliot Smith covers I’ve heard
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.
Truly amazing playing as well as pitch perfect! Your tutorials are incredibly detailed . Keep it up! If you provided a tutorial for every Elliott smith song you'd be my hero haha
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.
This is so good! Not many people know Elliott Smith's music and to have you perfectly cover this was such a blessing! Thank you!! How about Memory Lane?!?!?
Like 30 seconds worth of finger picking. Guys like The tallest man on earth would take a song like this these days and sing and pick that out the entire time.
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!
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!
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
ye
Sensei que haces aquí?!
I've seen countless versions on RUclips but yours is the best!
Love this and your lessons. You are an inspiration.
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.
Long time ago, but it was a fantastic job.
RUclips gold standard of how to cover this
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
You played that better than Elliott usually did. Well done.
Wow, well done!
Juste parfait 👍🏼
This is very good!!
Impeccable ❤️
awesome
Nice. Real nice.
Holy shit that was really good
that was solid as fuck
Fucking decent !
Well said
Fuck yes
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!
Haha that's funny, those were the exact words that came to my mind, too. Singing on point!
nailed the guitar parts flawlessly bro and ur voice sounds very close to Elliott, great job!
Appreciate that!
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.

That guy in the bubble on the left
Yeah him
Cried as well
Crying is 👌
@@ethandaum4631 thank you stranger!
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.
You can do it!
HAVE YOU ATTEMPTED IT YEET?!!!
lmao I tried learning this a few months back. my high e string broke and I lost the capo. I think my brain was subconsciously trying to give up.....
It's trial to see if you really wanted to do it ! but did you give up?
Holden Caulfield I had given up. BUT since my last comment I've learned it and can play it haha! I didn't think I'd be able to... but I did.
Never seen such a competent cover of this. nice job.
Great work! Such a tribute to Elliot Smith!
Like your voice, reminded me alittle of jose gonzalez in parts, very good!
Thanks! I'm gonna have to learn some jose gonzalez sometime then. What are some of your favorites by him?
Storm - abram - far away - sensing owls - the nest - Killing for love...all of them ;) The tunings can get my head in knots before i even attempt anything :)
Ethan's guitar lessons and music Heartbeats has a pretty guitar part that's really relaxing to play. Thank you for this video, I've loved this song for a long time, it's great to be able to play it properly.
incredible! I play it completely wrong haha, nice to see how it is really played, thanks for posting this!
Thanks! I played it completely wrong for many years too :) I hope you have fun re-learning it.
same here. and I just found your tutorial series! so here we go haha
Remarkable. Nice to see Elliott's genius lives on in others willing to put in the hard work. Big thumbs up and well done!
Wow.
Doing the big man a lot of justice. Really enjoyed that well done.
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.

The most accurate cover of this song on the Internet! Sang and played beautifully!
All the songs from Elliott Smith suit you very well!
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.
Agreed, this is the truest version I've seen on the YT.
Very nice Elliot’s my all time favorite. And I thought you nailed it.
You play guitar very very very well man. Congratulations
Amazing cover of a very hard song. Keep it up man!
This is the most beautiful cover I’ve ever heard. Your voice is perfect.
I sometimes click and watch this every so often. Very impressive guitar player! Amazing job
Flawless!
Wow that was beautiful.
you're a fuckin beast man..
man....amazing!! Incredible how talent can someone be to create something like that. Elliot was incredible!!
U got lots of soul man... bless you.
Seriously fantastic. Love all your Elliot Smith covers. Where'd you go?
God dang I wish I could fingerpick this well. I think I got most of the chords down, but that intro is still really difficult.
Excellent cover dude! Singing was pretty on point, too.
Your voice is so calming. I love listening to your cover
Thank you!!
@@ethandaum ^.^ I'm using your lesson video to learn it now. I feel so cool being able to play it (partially)
This is absolute perfection! Congratulations, beautiful. Elliott's proud
youre a fucking hero! this is incredible
Absolutely crushed it dude, well done. Fantastic playing.
sick
It's like Eliott Smith and Jose Gonzalez in one ... You're awesome dude, like your tutorials: have a subscribe!
you really nailed it man.. this gives me hope that i can get there. i have had to re-learn how to properly fingerpick to master this song. i can do it at about 3/4 speed now, partially thanks to your lessons.
omg, ....my brain exploded...great job man.......... I am super impressed...I wish I had you skills
Dude this is incredible!
Beautiful cover
nice man, really nice
You really made it your own. I love your voice. Beautiful, Ethan!

Am I the only one noticing the Jose Gonzales resemblance?!
Uri S definitely
fucking awesome. Great vocals and playing. Thumbs up!
This is marvelous :D
Thanx for the tutorial,and keep doing it!!
Just started learning this song using your How-to-play videos. This is an inspiration man, great job!
So good.
We are in 2024 and maaaaaaan you’re goooood !!! Amazing voice !! And soooooolid play
Truly amazing playing as well as pitch perfect! Your tutorials are incredibly detailed . Keep it up! If you provided a tutorial for every Elliott smith song you'd be my hero haha
Great work! Completely nailed it!
I would say your finger picking skills are a step above Elliot Smith's.
His vocals are better of course but amazing jib!
Damn, I thought I was playing this correctly!
I'm from Brazil, and this? This is a bealtiful song. Sorry for my inglish...
Amazing dude! I've listened to your cover 5 times over already. So so so well done.
i fully expected this to be terrible due to the necessary emotion, fingerpicking, etc. and it was wonderful. High-end youtube cover!
Excellent cover trying to learn and can say this song is HARD 👏
REALLY a good one
Could you play and tutorial "Miss Misery" ? Such a great talent, cheers
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.
Lol this is more technically sound than how Elliot played it, this is probably what he envisioned it would sound like when writing it! Blown away
Fantastic job. Your tutorials are amazing too.
30 seconds is all it took for me to want to subscribe! you played it beautifully
This is so good! Not many people know Elliott Smith's music and to have you perfectly cover this was such a blessing! Thank you!! How about Memory Lane?!?!?
Perfect !!!!I love it ...👉👉👉👉💪💪💪
Beautiful job. You look like Tom Green. I have a few Elliott Smith covers, feel free to check em out if you get a chance.
Ethan can you please do an in depth tutorial for waltz #2? I've been trying to learn from your cover but I still can't get it
Nice dude. You're awesome musician!!!, Keep it up!

You are so fucking great, man! Greetings from Brazil.

This shares the spirit of the original. Beautiful
The only thing I would suggest, is slide up to the 4th fret on the A (4th fret relative to the capo, I mean) at the riff at 0:26.
thanks
a truly beautiful cover, thanks for sharing. also, thanks for the tutorial, looking forward to digging into this one :)
