Alphabet Town - Elliott Smith

[@aaronallcaps]

one of my favorites… probably the best cover of this song on the tube

[@Strumdoc]

Nice of you to say. Here's another, kind of relaxed one, captured more of the essence I think kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGfEpKCIi7ygqNksi=M8q8JJbD2xIDjlmd

[@aaronallcaps]

@@Strumdoc yes i agree, very well done. the third time around you gotta add the harmonica haha

[@Strumdoc]

@@aaronallcaps Hell yeah definitely

[@sowososmooth]

[@Strumdoc]

I bet you dropped everything so wo so smooth💙

[@dante1706]

I'm in the ER right now and this is helping me stay calm thank you 🩵

[@Strumdoc]

Oh no. I hope everything is okay, and you are as well❤️❤️❤️

[@charlesdartagnan8788]

absolutely amazing. Can't wait to learn it from this.

[@charlesdartagnan8788]

is it standard tuning?

[@Strumdoc]

Basically, but just gotta tune the high e down a full step

[@therealturkeysandvich7919]

Oh hell yeah new elliot cover, honestly you fuckin nailed this song both the singing and guitar were perfect imo. Very nice

[@Strumdoc]

Thanks, Such a cool song

[@ace_fox2988]

YEAHHH I LOVE ELLIOTT SMITH!!! good cover

[@ace_fox2988]

also you didn't fuck it up i actually got distracted (squirrel brain) halfway through and forgot i wasn't listening to the original, i might even like this version more :3

[@Strumdoc]

Oh I love that! This is such a great comment from you too. I'm used to the hearts, which are also very appreciated 😊

[@seangallagher6195]

Exactly the same

[@clownbaby42069]

capo on the 2nd. a true elliott smith fan with his guitar normally in D standard. Nice cover!

[@Strumdoc]

Thanks, ha, yeah I always have it tuned down

[@MrBleedingFlag]

This is so well done. I hope wherever you are you’re playing Elliott cover shows!

[@joaolourenco8419]

Alphabet City is haunted Constantina feels right at home She probably won't say you're wrong But you're already wrong You're already wrong And you threw up whatever she shot down Said, show me around this alphabet town Said, show me around There's a name you keep repeating You got nothing better to do And you're with someone who'll hear you say it and just not mind Her hand on your arm, her hand on your arm She put her hand on your arm And told you her name you can't pronounce it I'll show you around this alphabet town I'll show you around this alphabet town I know what you are I just don't mind I won't say you're wrong I know what you want And it's what I want So let's go out, I'm ready to go out I'll show you around this alphabet town I'll show you around this alphabet town

[@BG-qk9pp]

Nailed it

[@Strumdoc]

🙏❤️

[@joaolourenco8419]

Whats the point of having favourites if all your performances are freaking amazing!? 🙌

[@Strumdoc]

😊Thanks for the kind words

[@HenryAvery-qg1hd]

No name number 5 next

[@Strumdoc]

Oh my god yeah I gotta do that one

[@Leftyenby]

One of my favs from Elliott ^_^ You performed it really well >w

[@Strumdoc]

Thanks buuuuuddy💙

[@Suzanne_8]

❤❤❤

[@Strumdoc]

❤️❤️❤️

[@tehee-]

Knocked it out the park, loved your own little touches as well throughout the song :) I've struggled with this song too over the years, so many strange shifts that make goofing up really easily. Elliott was a great guitar player.

[@Strumdoc]

I just learned it today so I just assumed I'd mess up lol

[@ayamai-chan5586]

every time my dad goes abroad and I miss him, I listen to you - (because you remind me a lot of him) and by the way - I really like both your covers and originals! I hope that the older I get, the further you will build your musical path! 🎸💖

[@Strumdoc]

Hell yeah, thanks so much❤️

[@GuyWithGreenHoodie]

Very nice bro

[@Strumdoc]

Thanks homie

[@fatmariomama]

i love your videos, man! keep up the good work 👍👍

[@Strumdoc]

Thanks, I'll try to keep on goin❤️

[@runnerhigh]

Was just opening KZbin to listen to your LA cover and first thing I see is this, very cool. Also, this teaches us that you are not very good with probabilities because you did not fuck this up even a little

[@Strumdoc]

😂Thanks❤️

[@runnerhigh]

@@Strumdocok i made you laugh so i bet it’s cool to ask you to listen to some Grandaddy if you haven’t and to enjoy their music hopefully and eventually cover a song or two or three haha right?

[@Strumdoc]

@@runnerhigh Grandaddy? Hadn't heard of them before. I guess we'll see. Any recommendations?

[@runnerhigh]

@@StrumdocThe Sophtware Slump is my favourite record of theirs, at least at this current point in time. Some of their songs might be weird to do fully acoustic though The hidden track (from a different album) “You Drove Your Car Into a Moving Train” is a crusher. I mean, with a title like that..

[@NoahKarapanagiotidis]

amazing job, sounds great

[@Strumdoc]

Thanks a lot

[@jenkemphl]

i love your covers and originals! are you planning on dropping an album or ep any time soon?

[@Strumdoc]

I'm trying, I guess even just an EP wouldn't be a bad idea, so it's at least a few songs if not a whole album, but still some

[@jespersahnerpedersen]

Such a great and special song, you nailed it (as always)! "No Confidence Man" at some point I'm sure :)

[@Strumdoc]

Heck yeah man. Comin up soon💙
