Elliott Smith on the pilot for the Jon Brion show.
1) How did I not hear about this sooner
2) Why didn’t this show happen :(
Ridiculously beautiful song. Yes, I will probably post this entire album sooner or later. Forgive my current Leonard Cohen obsession.
This song is really fun to play: http://www.maartenmassa.be/CohenChords/01solc/one_of_us_cannot_be_wrong.htm
Hey Tumblr, I wrote a song for you!! Ok, that’s a lie. I wrote a song for an unrelated reason a few weeks ago, but tonight I recorded it and am sharing it with you. Nothing fancy, just a guy with a guitar and a couple vocal tracks. No metronome or editing, just a demo. The enterprising follower could go back some pages and find the lyrics if they were so inclined. I think it needs some more instrumentation, but nothing major… it’s a pretty simple one.
Guitar Tabs
If you’re ever looking for slightly more accurate (and much better organized) guitar tabs, I highly suggest staying away from the gigantic tab aggregators and instead looking for fan-made sites that have taken the time to curate the best tabs. I was trying to find some Leonard Cohen tabs and had zero luck until stumbling upon one such page. Here are some of my favorites:
Leonard Cohen

John Lennon (also has Harrison, McCartney, and Bob Dylan chords)
Elliott Smith

Paul Simon

I can’t find high quality tom waits tabs anywhere, so if anyone has any leads on those, that’d be great.
