Rose Parade Elliott Smith-cover

[@nanothestrange]

this can go under that rare category of "professional cover artist"

[@NoobsRedemption]

man a tutorial would help a lot, and this is one of the best covers I've heard

[@Brian-Hausheer]

props, nobody else does that opening lick descending to the D chord in other YT covers, best cover :)

[@aisekimei]

Elliott Smith will be forever in our hearts and minds! But YOU, you do the best! Your voice and a manner to play and sing - everything reminds me of him! Great, fantastic and breathtaking.

[@SnipesWithWolvesV2]

My favorite 'happier, up-beat' song by Elliott. Really great to hear you cover this beautifully like the others.

[@volumzala]

Beautiful song, it'll always mean a lot to me.

[@_here_hear]

this is great! love the guitar work

[@betweenthecolorbars]

I am humbled by your nice comment. thanks, Mike

[@HamzaAli-gg1jq]

beautiful cover mate, kept me cheered up throughout lockdown 😊

[@Taped0uT1]

I would pay to see this guy do a show. Especially with a band. Awesome covers!

[@konakick]

Great version of a great song! Elliott was genius

[@bigjilms]

sweet tone! amazing cover, really digged it

[@estrellathestars]

amazing! Mike, you keep getting better, wow! This one is my favorite for so many different reasons. You have the sweet sound...please, keep it up! ...met ES after he played this song in Portland...xo

[@joshjacobson8858]

Great, I think this is your best cover.

[@mellowtonen]

just went down to the rose parade a couple weeks ago, was cool to imagine the inspiration Elliott had for writing it. kickin' cover as always!

[@peacelovingmusicwarrior5823]

You have became my new teacher and you don't even know it thanks!

[@SBRReview]

So you are pretty much the only one I have seen that doesn't destroy this :) Great job!

[@tone.1]

Perfect😊

[@lhorseal7]

this is a fantastic cover!!!

[@supak108]

thats a beautiful guitar and a great cover great job man.

[@tonesofanonymity6390]

What miserable fuck 'thumbs downed?' This is one of the few versions I've heard that do the man's brilliant arrangment any justice which is an extremely high bar to clear.... Cheers! 🤙🤙🤙

[@Pantouflekangaroo]

this is really good! i love your guitar

[@pichueka]

amazing

[@skatelrg]

this is a great cover!!!

[@estrellathestars]

I agree with "SuperTiss" you remind me a lot of Elliott. Well done!

[@viaplatina1722]

Linda versión amigo.

[@chancafer]

VERY nicely done. Any chance you could tell me where to learn the guitar portion?

[@boylilikoi8037]

super nice!

[@Hologramization]

i love your covers would be nice to write down the Tabs :( please ?

[@Shakabrassiere]

Nice cover

[@betweenthecolorbars]

@lhorseal7 Thanks so much for the compliment!

[@betweenthecolorbars]

@poprocket66 I watched this one to see what you meant.I think you are mistaking my awkward playing style for bass line walk?Because I was playing this with a pick,(definitely against the rules with ES)I think I was muting the other strings while strumming the high stuff?There might be an errant G or A that "worked" with the chord progression,but I don't remember this one being so difficult.I really struggle with his fingerpicking.Satellite kicked my ass.Thanks for the nice comments!!!

[@freddychopin]

Wow, truly spectacular performance. And what a wonderful guitar. This deserves a better mic! Any tips for the chords? They seem pretty much spot-on.

[@cunning_jams]

nice!

[@dontkeepthisname]

How did you learn to play this? I'd love to learn so I could play this awesome melody.

[@austinreid870]

Is this guy still alive? Where'd he go

[@betweenthecolorbars]

@supak108 Thanks for the kudos! As for the guitar...sometimes IT just makes me sound good. HA

[@monsieurpoope5434]

Damn I wish I had long fingers like that

[@betweenthecolorbars]

@MrBabyhoward thanks a lot!

[@Shakabrassiere]

You sound like him!

[@SuperTlss]

[@MrRNN3]

[@jrturic2]

[@cathyannis83]

Hey mate ive watched all your Elliott covers on You Tube and they are all amazing.....i have noticed you seem to use different variations of chords..ive looked on some Guitar tab sites and they show it different....i really want to play this so bad, i play it D, A ,E, G for the verse is this wrong ???

[@stella-vu8vh]

What's the story on that Gibson?

[@SuperTlss]
