Elliott Smith's Right Hand Technique, Other Times 

His strumming technique combined with his tuning and chord selections made him very unique, it was all magic

I realized how essential his thumb is to his playing by watching your vids. the independence of it. like how travis picking works but he applied it to waltzes and strumming. I have an fg180 red label too. one day I hope to play as good as you!

please keep doing these

I love these, they’re so super helpful. Many thanks!

So good to the ears! thank you for this amazing short video

as a self taught guitarist, i develped that picking/strumming style on nessesity. I never had picks around and when I did it felt wrong. years later I started learning Elliott's songs and was supprised how naturally it came!

Beautifully played, thank you.

Great job playing these songs!! Learning these were for sure landmarks in my playing. I hope this doesn't come across as nit-picky, but the way that Elliott does that style is a tad bit different than you demonstrated although there's nothing wrong with playing it like this. It's a bit closer to the flamenco guitar technique where the index and bird fingers play the same string back to back, but Elliot's version of it is a LOT sloppier and more haphazard, watch either of these songs or Tomorrow Tomorrow live and you can kinda see it. He kinda just throws his hand around lol truly order out of chaos. Point is, don't apologize for the "sloppiness!!" I think often times some of Elliott's spirit can be lost in a cover when its super clean and polished.

I got, stuck on a side, you know, I never chose

The white lady loves you more was the first song i heard from elliott. It played in a Gus Van Sant movie called Paranoid Park. Got hooked and 10+ years later, still one of my favorite singer/songwriters. You played this and Easy Way Out beautifully

life saver!!! please don’t stop

this is amazing and sounds just like him

what’s your guitar? sounds exactly like his

For me, impossible

beautiful, thank you

So smooth, I don't even play guitar but I did enjoy every second of this clip.

Elliott Smith is a cheeseball and I love him thank you

Noice!

Beautiful man ❤

very interesting - thank you!

so beautiful

I recognize that signature Elliott sound

Absolutely loved this video! Is there any chance of getting a more in depth tutorial of The White Lady Loves You More. One of my favourite songs!

You should do a left hand to these too so we can learn the entire tune .

🥲so good man... sounds really like his unique way of playing it's crazy

please more content bro

easy way out is immaculate, would love to hear a full cover . even if its purely instrumental

Nice guitar

I think you should protract the thumb a bit more forward, but it sounds great. I love your guitar sound.

u are such a beautiful guitar player i hope to meet you one day

super smooth transition between the two. still tryna get my thumb to be a little more accurate haha

I really need help with The Last Hour, you got any insight on that one? These videos are super helpful.

great video thanks

Tiny. Mind. Blown.

How do you play it that fast

This is incredible

So impressive! This is truly awesome!

amazingggg

youre a champion

Could you maybe make some more in-depth tutorials? I've been trying to replicate this and the other video. It seems so subtle but it's so tricky 🤣

Is that a Kay guitar?

Can you do a video on Tomorrow Tomorrow?

Can you play the same but where we can see both hands?
