Talking to Mary, Elliott Smith - Tutorial (of sorts)
I apologize to anyone who clicks on these videos thinking they'll learn how to play the song from the ground up. For those interested in the left hand shapes, there are probably great tutorials and tabs for these songs. I've found tabs to be pretty useless for explaining what goes on in the right hand so these videos are an attempt to convey some of what I think is happening. Plus, someone asked me to upload a tutorial so I learned the song as best I could and have focused on what I find to be the interesting things going on. I hope people find it useful, not only for playing this song, but for unlocking strumming techniques found all throughout his albums. Small correction: In the beginning of the video, I say Emaj but there's a 9 on it. **for anyone interested in sliding scale ($50-70/hr) guitar/ear training/songwriting lessons, email [email protected]**
