Elliott smith song writing lesson: “I kinda imagine things just during the day….” Most of couldn’t come up with songs half as good as Elliott’s in our heads. This guy is truly one of the best to do it. So great. A real musician’s musician.

Not a lot of technical advice, but great foundational advice. Write things you like. Find joy in the journey. If you like what you wrote, it will show up in your performance.

The advice at the end is really simple but I needed to hear it. I’ve been getting better at guitar and making my own little tunes, but recently I’ve been comparing myself to other guitarists/songwriters I see online and being unhappy since I can’t do what they do. I really want to write songs but right now the lyrics just aren’t coming naturally and it all feels very forced. I just need to keep doing what I enjoy doing and eventually the songwriting will come naturally. I am still so early in my guitar journey relatively

My working theory on Elliott is that he was kind of tuned into God's radio, like Mozart. He could just ... write, and amazing shit would just come out.

He was an intuitive creator. He didn't have the technical terms to express some of the things he was talking about, but he "knew." I think the most important part was where he talked about being 'relaxed' and to not think about what other people would like, and instead, write what you like. Oh, and just letting your hands and mind 'wander' while u play things is, for me, a sure fire way to get the fire started.

I had the good fortune to meet Elliott a few times and he was a kind, gentle soul, as well as one of the greatest songwriters to ever live. It's so wild to hear how incredibly fantastic and unique the tone and technique of his acoustic guitar sounds with seemingly no effort.
