Yep! Their is just something about that album the songwriting the vibe the rawness the subtle melodic brilliance the lofi atmosphere it's definitely my favorite from the whole catalog although every album of his is genius and a favorite of mine roman candle is special
Roman candle and his self titled record are absolutely insane. I haven’t heard anything quite as raw as his early stuff. and don’t even get me STARTED on his songwriting. Truly one of the best writers ever, and gone too soon man. There’ll never be another smith
tune your guitar to D-A-D-G-B-D first of all, and then play the following shapes as you would in standard: b minor 7th for the first chord, c sharp 7 for the second, then get a G power-chord by barring the E and A sterings at fret 5, and the last chord in the verse progression is an A7. chorus is the same chords but with a D and E minor thrown in there. good luck figuring out the picking pattern - you have to strum with your...
I fee for him, his song structures are so intricate and lyrics deep, personal, and verbose. These songs are very challenging to realize, let alone drunk, high, and depressed.
Truth! And I'm just now discovering it. I've been a fan since the late 90's and loved his studio albums and what I knew of him from magazines, but watching these live shows are unlocking a whole new level of Elliott fandom for me.
Actually, it isn't a flute - it's just an electric guitar with the fuzz and the treble turned way down so that it has a warm and subdued/mysterious sound. Cheers!
Is it fucked up that it makes me happy he went out like a Roman Candle instead of getting fat and fading away like the rest of us. He was too great for that and now he’ll live forever young and free.
The only "living" he will be doing forever young and free is in our minds. He died, and that actually sucks. I'd much prefer he got fat like the rest of us and kept writing songs and making records and performing, like he wanted to do.
...index/middle fingers on the higher straings and do an alternating picking pattern on the bass strings! but hopefully the chords/tuning will give you a starting point. i'm thinking about making a tutorial video for this song at some point, so subscribe! good luck
there are so many great artists all of us have missed out on… elliott was sadly on of them for me. im hoping in another life, I had seen him play. maybe my love for music started with a different life, seeing some of the musicians play then that I love in this life now. or maybe not lol. either way I’ll never forget Elliott and the countless others I’ve begin to love through their music.
i love watching his hands in the low light. this was taken in the year after his self titled, which was a radical monument of self acceptance. a precious time capsule before the heat lamp of fame burned him out
Nirvana's cool. But Elliott has better musicianship and songwriting than Kurt but there are like if you had 2 brothers, if both are good for different reasons you got to love them. I agree that Elliott needs more respect and notice.
They are needed in Heaven to play and sing at their fullest and best more than they are needed on Earth...but the treasures they left us, man...I'm so thankful.
@thefortress12 sarcasm, how does it work? look it up in a dictionary. its obvious theres no trombone in kiwi maddog, just like its obvious that there isnt a flute in roman candle... to anyone that has ears which work.
