I totally agree! Elliott's style is very smooth and clean, but deceptively challenging. I thought some of it sounded easy and relatively simple, though upon picking up a guitar playing along, it was actually a bit difficult. Plus his recordings have this warmth to them that is hard to reproduce as well.

He was ridiculously skilled. Also try playing Tomorrow, tomorrow, it sounds fairly simple but it is incredibly difficult to get right.

the guitar in angeles is so amazing, it's sort of doing it's own thing and then just for the 'so glad...' part the vocals and guitar blend together, it's such a cool sound

Being a metalhead here, Elliott is one of my fav artists of all time, "You can do what you want to, whenever you want to"

Elliott Smith's mixed voice is one of the most underrated of all time. And if you go back and listen to Heatmiser he hadn't mastered it back then, it was years and years of hardwork.

Since the start of this video, Angeles was what was playing in my head! Amazing example of what he was able to create. Emotional, beautiful singing, and stunning instrumentation. RIP we miss you ES.

The "Tomorrow Tomorrow" bridge is just sublime guitar and vocal harmonies.

Thanks for your videos and appreciation of Elliott - I’ve studied his songs and playing for years - he did everything at the highest level - lyrics as well - extraordinary- random top of the head - ‘here it is, the revenge of the tune - you’re no good you’re no good you’re no good ‘ wow !!
And the guitar playing - come on - I’ve been playing his songs for twenty years - you need to pay attention the whole time while simultaneously being super relaxed to get his sublime slightly slow tempo and timing - and chord changes that can suddenly go in a sideways and beautiful direction.
Love the challenge !
Elliott is / was a true master. RIP Elliott -
Good videos by the way

If you ever see him play piano he's absolutely amazing. I think if you consider some parts or whole songs being composed on piano first and then arranged for guitar it starts to make sense, especially Angeles.

I showed Angeles to my guitar teacher once and she thought it was two guitars.

Preach on brother! One of my all-time favourite artist, he is indeed such an underrated guitarist. I even find Johnny Marr's style less hard to imitate (even if there are some tough parts too). It's the blend of fingerpicking and strumming, all the while playing the bass line, all at once. Some parts I thought were obviously 2 guitar parts, I was gobsmacked to see him replicate them solo live. Pitseleh is a good example of "sounds easy" but not so easy to imitate actually.

What sets a master apart is their ability to make the most difficult work appear effortless.

Can't believe T.R. AKA Tiny Rick sent me down this Elliot Smith Rabbit hole and I missed the chance of enjoying his music as a kid, especially as a teen. 👌

Love his work, and his guitar work like you said, is highly underrated! I find his finger picking quite natural for me, the way he plays just randomly matches how I tend to play, I learned finger style mostly from playing Tallest Man On Earth songs, so maybe that’s why? Both have some pretty challenging fingerpicking… I seriously love both of those artists for just how simply amazing both their vocals and guitar playing are…
