Incredible covers man, really nailing those intros he only did live. Great voice

[@henrylarson6970]

at first I thought you were just using the original vocals from the song, you captured the sound perfectly

[@someone1331]

Nearly 3 years ago I listened your cover with thinking someone special. Everything went sad.I found myself here and realized I never thanked you. Care yourself man

[@oblivion2967]

Your competence and confidence shows through everyone of these songs.

[@cjbates123]

Wow man, so good. Was searching youtube for how to play L.A. and found your cover. My wife and I ended up watching a bunch of your videos tonight. Really good stuff, keep it up.

wouldn’t mama be proud

[@FrenchieCriesAlot]

nice shirt

[@augib]

Chords ?

[@Jawnjawn4949]

do you by any chance have a tab for the intro?

[@MattTregortha]

I don't have tab for it I'm afraid, I basically just watched this video of Elliott Smith playing it live and copied it the best I could czcams.com/video/PBP3-lxFstk/video.html it's all based around the main chords of the song, but he's playing different voicings and incorporating the melody into them. I'm actually thinking of doing tutorial videos at some stage, so I'll be sure to include this! Hope this helps :)

[@Jawnjawn4949]

Cool, thanks for the reply!

[@michaelvegasgialketsis8732]

So Good!! Umm its Standard Tuning?

[@MattTregortha]

Thanks! This song is in a full step down :)

[@michaelvegasgialketsis8732]

Matt Tregortha ahh for sure! Ya man Killing it! Should cover "Taking A Fall" one of my favorites! Keep it up man Killing It!

[@MattTregortha]

Thanks man! Yeah I'll definitely consider that! ;)

[@SunFrog_]

Sounds so close to Elliott uts weird

[@RyanWSi]

Pete Thomas' drumming is what makes this his best song. Hands down
