Far superior tab bookBy Bano5150Of the two Elliott Smith Guitar tab books available this is by far the better of the two. I own both and prefer the versions in this book as they are far more accurate and closer to the original. This is for more advanced guitarist, as you know Elliott was a gifted guitarist and had a very unique style of finger picking. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have and find the challenge of playing his amazing music exciting.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Solid book of Elliott's best!By Sean A PetersenIt's hard to expect tabs books to get everything perfect, but this one certainly comes close. I've looked at one other Elliott Smith tab book in the past and it wasn't even close to being accurate, so I was very pleased with the quality of this one! Even if a song isn't perfect, it'll be close enough to get you in the ballpark range. If you're an Elliott Smith fan looking to play some of his tunes, then online tabs are a cheaper alternative for his most popular songs. However, if you're a fan seeking to learn some of his lesser known songs, this book is a great source for helping you along!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Inaccurate and poorly notatedBy FregemanI am extremely disappointed with this book. The transcriptions are inaccurate in obvious ways, especially in songs like "Angeles" where the details matter enormously. Moreover, on fingerpicking songs, the thumb/fingers lines are not separated by stem direction as is customary.Stick to free internet tabs. They're more accurate and more readable than this book. The Essential Elliott Smith is an exclusive collection of songs by the master songwriter and guitarist.This book presents 24 classic songs from all five of his albums, plus songs from the two posthumous releases, From A Basement On The Hill and New Moon including the Oscar-nominated song Miss Misery, which featured on the soundtrack of the film, Good Will Hunting.Arranged for Guitar TAB and standard notation, with chord boxes and complete lyrics.Song List:A Fond FarewellAlamedaAngel In The SnowAngelesBallad Of Big NothingBetween The BarsCan't Make A SoundComing Up RosesCondor Ave.Easy Way OutEverything Reminds Me Of HerIndependence DayLet's Get LostMiss MiseryNeedle In The HayPretty (Ugly Before)Pretty Mary KRoman CandleSay YesSomebody That I Used To KnowSon Of SamTomorrow TomorrowWaltz No.2 (XO)Wouldn't Mama Be Proud.

Elliott Smith Dead at  by Will Bryant
Pitchfork | http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/news/03-10/22.shtml 22 October 2003 Elliott Smith Dead at by Will Bryant Elliott Smith has died at age , according to an obituary posted late Tuesday on Sweet Adeline, Smith’s oﬃcial website. Rumors had been circulating on the Internet yesterday afternoon about Smith’s apparent suicide; by early evening, the overwhelm- ing traﬃc from well-wishers and fans was crashing Sweet Adeline’s discussion board. A handful of posts indicated that representatives from Smith’s label, Dreamworks, were attempting to contact Charlie Ramirez, the webmaster for Sweet Adeline. Within hours, Ramirez posted the following: “As you probably realize, I’m pretty devastated about having to say goodbye to Elliott. it’s never easy to put into words what someone means to you. Elliott was such a lovely man. I will always have his love, kindness, intelligence, humbleness, creativeness, greatness and so much more in me forever because that’s what he was and i’ll always love him for being who he was. I’ll miss you so much. We will all miss you. See you in heaven, Elliott.” Kill Rock Stars, who released Smith’s self-titled solo album and ’s Either/Or, changed their website’s splash page to a pensive photo of Smith this afternoon in silent tribute to the beloved songwriter. “We are deeply saddened by Elliott Smith’s tragic death and send our condolences to his friends and family,” read a statement released by Dreamworks and reported by Reuters’ wire service. “He was perhaps his generation’s most gifted songwriter.

Smith's Roman Candle
A Head Full of Flames: Elliott Smith’s Roman Candle Melissa Brooks “You don’t know Elliott Smith? Damn! Give me your iPod,” my high school crush demanded one afternoon in my parents’ basement. I handed it over and he plugged it into the sleek Apple laptop he carried with him everywhere. He soon transferred Elliott’s entire discography to my device. Much like Elliott, he was a musical prodigy, possessing an ability to pick up most any instrument and best other musicians who’d been playing Elliott Smith for years. My musical naiveté would have appalled him if he didn’t enjoy educating me so Roman Candle much. 07/1994 “We’ll start from the beginning,” he said. “Roman Candle.” Cavity Search It was 2005, more than a decade after Roman Candle’s release. The album was and is unabashedly simple, recorded in then-girlfriend JJ Gonson’s basement. Most of the songs feature only Elliott accompanying his own soft vocals on acoustic guitar. Elliott’s biographer William Todd Schultz aptly portrays the album “as a guy jamming with himself” and “totally low-key and casual, almost ridiculously low-fi.”1 My crush and I laid on the floor, heads close but hands folded safely on our stomachs. Fevered, even anxious strumming reverberated against the concrete walls, soon followed by a voice more ethereal than any I’d ever heard. He could be cool and cruel to you and me Knew we’d put up with anything I want to hurt him I want to give him pain I’m a roman candle My head is full of flames.

For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected]. Kierkegaard’s Aesthetic Life View in Elliott Smith’s Either/Or Camille Richey When people write about Elliott Smith’s music, they cannot help but delve into the angst, hopelessness, and depression of his deceptively poppy choruses. When it comes to discussing the title of Smith’s third album Either/Or, a title lifted straight from Søren Kierkegaard’s published work from 150 years earlier, it is no surprise that what mainly gets compared between Smith and Kierkegaard are their melancholic dispositions—once referred to by Kierkegaard as his “faithful mistress” (Schultz 163). Nelson Gary, a friend of Smith, generally explains the title by saying, “Elliott, having a phi- losophy degree, lived and breathed the melancholy-saturated work of Søren Kierkegaard to the degree that he named an album after one of his books.” Mag- net Magazine says the intriguing title reminds us, “Kierkegaard believed life is a cosmic joke and then you die” (Davis).

Rossi, a NYCbased director and cinematographer who briefly met Elliott Smith in 1998, is presenting his first feature documentary as a Canadian Premiere at the Canadian Music Week Film Festival. From Rossi’s Director’s Statement: “Heaven Adores You came about over many years. I wanted to build on the love that the fans had for Elliott. I wanted to do something that honored his contributions to the music scene, to the global community, and to my own personal journey. What if we could make something about the life and music of Elliott Smith, instead of just focusing on his death? What if we could make something where Elliott was able to narrate the journey of his life and have his friends support his incredible story? Heaven Adores You aims to be just that: A visual, melodic love letter of sorts to a musical genius, in the environments that he knew best: Portland, New York, and Los Angeles.
