    I've played guitar my whole adult life and still can never get how he pulls off these great little melodies and riffs without ever losing the main rhythm of the song.

      He was incredible at self-accompaniment. The only other person who is in the same realm to me would be Richard Thompson.

    His guitar playing on Son of Sam is insane. He was so phenomenally gifted.

    A perfect example of the right interviewer with the right person to interview. I loved the comment about Shakespeare and Elliott's honest interest when the interview mentions his use of iambic pentameters. Super sweet interaction

    what an awesome setlist. love hearing pitseleh live. funny how she mentions the no name songs and then when he plays happiness he says this song doesn't really have a name

    What a fucking great answer to the question, which is a fair question to ask him, why he decided to use more instrumentation on XO - "well before I just didn't really have any other instruments around." What an artist.

      i kno... i'd kill to play like him.. somehow showy and subtle.. right, being a great guitarist isn't about ripping out EVH solos.. its about this.. creative beautiful melodic movements while being able to throw in nuance licks that heighten the stakes without even realizing it while listening,, like its all just so meant to be..

    World Live Cafe? Philly... my hometown.. if only i wasn't 10 in 1999... hahaha,, damn..
    this girl has a really sweet voice btw.. i got to play n sing Pitseleh for a live audience somewhere near South street one night at an open mic.. can't believe in dont remember the street.. damn.. somewhere between 2nd and Broad st... hahaha does narrow it down? 12 blocks,, real back alley kinda bar.. so much of the best years of my life are a blur... : /
    so hooked on Elliott for so many years.. had to let him go for a while.. nice to visit now and again.. his music still means the world to me.. wow.. Happiness still didn't have a name at this point!??? another favorite of mine to play on guitar..
    i need to get back into playing.. really want to learn Last Call.. playing Kiwi Maddog would be fun too

    His comment about all of his songs having something in them that he wanted to fix but ran out of time is accurate to all the greatest songwriters. They never see their songs as "finished" pieces of art the way the audience does. To us it's like, "what could you possibly improve?!".
