excellent guitar work. someone can't get to this level of playing without truly loving the music. always a pleasure listening to your covers, almost as much as Elliott himself.
Randy, I am the blunt honest guy here, and as much as the guitar work is RIGHT on, her singing is less to be desired. This song was meant to be sung by the melancholic, depressed man that was Elliot Smith. He was so passionate when he sung. Obviously no one can compare, but the emotions aren't felt or conveyed really at all with your voice Kelsey. Being blunt honest with my opinion here. GREAT knack for the guitar tho... I'm too fucked up in the head to even learn bass (def easier of the two) which I struggle with... (Chords, yeah right.. chuckles*)
@Dean Zanghi I don’t know dude.. I’m not trying to come down on you and bust your balls but in regards to your comment,, ehh it was a bit harsh bro. I just really don’t think it was helpful, constructive or appropriate. Again, I’m not trying to be a dick.
usually when I listen to covers of Elliott Smith for inspiration I’m always bummed by how awkwardly people recreate his guitar playing, but you’ve nailed it. Damn good cover.
this just popped into my feed and i thought i like my version but you just showed me its actually possible to play that guitar solo part with just one guitar. thank you! i will be studying how you did it. beautiful voice and cover.
I love your covers on Elliott Smith's. You have an appealing voice and a skillful guitar performance. I'm sad to see that your last upload was two years ago. Hope you upload more videos, Kelsey.
Great job - pretty much a perfect cover. I'd kill for a full tab of how you're playing it - I'm stuck on some of the walk ups/downs - so hard to pickup from youtube; they're so fast!
A new upload--yes! As always, rich, lovely, and deeply felt and skilled playing. I know life may interfere from time to time, but *please* keep them coming :)
This just popped up on my feed again. You know how rare a thing it is to listen to the cover of a song you love and get every bit the satisfaction that the original one brings? Just magnificent ❤️
