Thank you so much Joaquin and you are most welcome! I put a lot of time and effort into trying to make them as accurate as possible so I'm happy to see it pays off! There is still so much to learn though so! Cheers!
That's awesome, i love to see it since I love the Smiths and especially Johnny Marr's guitar playing and wanted to share it with and help others learn these awesome songs! Thank you for your support, I am glad you are enjoying the covers! :D
Thank you, I'm happy to hear you think so! and thats awesome, glad to know I can help with learning Smiths songs! :D This Charming man is so fun to play especially cuz its pree tricky at times with especially with those fast moving arpeggios in chorus, but then the pay off of getting it down feels so good! Good luck with learning the songs!
Really great tutorial and playing.. but why would you spend hours and hours learning the song, tabbing it out, record the cover, edit the video and upload it, and then NOT take the extra 40 seconds to tune the guitar?
Thanks for your feedback! I am pretty sure it’s in tune. I know for the intro it sounds out of tune because I don’t have a whammy bar like the song has. but other than that, you think it’s out of tune? :o either way, I appreciate your awareness here and i will definitely stress the matter more moving forward
@@nicholaskguitar I should have worded that better: your tele may be in tune but the original recording is tuned a little higher than a full step up form standard tuning. But again, excellent playing and a great resource to learn this song. Thanks a lot!
ahhhh snap! I didn't even notice damn. Like, I've definitely picked up on it in other songs like Still Ill, but couldn't make out the difference for Heaven Knows. Thanks for the heads up, that is good to know, I gotta watch out for other smiths songs! and I am glad it has been useful, glad i could help!
Thank you so much!! me too about open chords and i love how Marr takes oft used chords and makes them sound unique by putting them in interesting contexts. But i do not sing in this video haha were you referring to my please please please cover? :O
Interesting, well I am glad you like how it sounds! Tho now i am intrigued at what it would be like to play it with the hammer ons now! :O Thanks for watching!!!
Thank you so much, Im thrilled to see you think so! And I'm glad the tab in the video has been helpful! If you haven't already seen it, there's also a pdf for the tab in the description. Cheers!
Totally! It was really fun and satisfying to learn how to play it! It was surprisingly a lot less complicated than i thought, which is the magic of Johnny Marr, to take simple ideas and turn them into these, as you so rightly put it sublime sounding riffs! Cheers, thanks for tuning in!
there's quite a few tutorial renditions of this track and this is one of the best. Only problem I found is either the guitar is slightly tuned out of key or the capo or its placement has skewed the fret pitching the sound higher. Apart from that I love the intro, another johnny marr gem...
It is not an affinity. Its the classic vibe tele and I love it. i feel like you can get great tone from it even though it's only a squier. I think its a pretty big step up in tone compared to the affinity series. Im happy i got it, totally worth the purchase for me. The only downside is that its quite heavy lol. And thank you so much, Im stoked that you like the tone and the cover! :D
Yeah i don't know why it's so heavy haha, but it's manageable! The era of great sounding squiers is here! xp good luck with your guitar searching, i hope you find something that's just right!
@@raivin7172 I have the Affinity in the same butterscotch color. It honestly doesn’t look or feel as good as the Classic Vibe. The action is way too high, and the neck feels like paper. I’d really like to upgrade it to a higher end Squier. Still, I got it from a pawn shop with a Seymour Duncan in it. Then I talked the woman down from $200 to like $135 because “Guitar center has it for that much brand new” lol
@@jellybIood i'm thinking about buying Tele because I want jazzmaster but the only cheap model that would please me is classic vibe JM, and its really problematic to get classic vibe in Ukraine because of dollar currency/shipping problems. So getting a decent tele is much easier and cheaper in my current situation. It might serve as a good temporary guitar until I get enough money for classic vibe But anyway, big thanks for sharing your experience! It might be really helpful
Which tele squier do u have, The affinity series or classic vibe? I have the classic vibe, which is a step up from the affinity, so it could be that. Otherwise, the secret sauce is in the pedals, mainly my vox delaylab pedal, with a little tube screamer to make tone a little clanky (like in live recordings) and some compression. Also recorded guitar coming out amp rather than plugging in. Ofc its also key to finger chords smoothly with left hand, make sure all the strings resonate as best as possible. Im glad to hear my tone is sounding good, thanks meng!
@@nicholaskguitar I have the affinity series, and just a distortion pedal and a a delay one, but it does not sound bad, i used to play acoustic, so im kinda struggling to have a good tone. but thanks for the tips
Can someone explain the tuning? I’m in standard tuning and put the capo on the 2nd fret so it would technically it would be in F# Major but I see it’s written out in E Major. Do we tune to D standard over all then put the capo on the 2nd to act like it’s in E? First time trying some Johnny Marr and I know he does stuff like this but just wanted to check in lol
Nope, when playing with a capo all the chord names and notations are written as if the capo was the open strings, so what an F#maj7 would be without a capo if you played the same voicing with a capo on the second fret it would now be written as an Emaj7 (Even though the notes are those of an F#maj7 chord. A better way to put it is to imagine the capo is the open strings and that every fret now changes number depending on where the capo is and the names also change to the corresponding fret numbers (even if the notes aren't correct for the chord name)
Hmm, that's a good question. The strumming pattern was not something I really thought about and I did what felt natural. i would keep playing around w it and see what feels right for you. Generally speaking, its good to strum down on down beats and up on the up beats. You could marked up the tab on the corresponding beats as a rough guide to follow. Is this a helpful answer? If not maybe if you could tell me more about the issue and I will see what i can do!
Eyyy Chirimoya! My main pedal i am using is my vox delaylab. Its a multi purpose FX pedal that can make all sorts of cool sounds like delay, chorus, vibrato, reverb, etc, so i am using a custom setting on that. A chorus pedal could prob get you there too. Also just some compression and a little tube screamer. Hope that helps!
Its in tune, with but unfortunately to the wrong frequency :(. But the intro sounds especially off because i don't have a tremelo bar like Marr uses. I definitely plan to do replay it, but tuned to 432hz
Si, eso es verdad. Sabía que la introducción iba a sonar desafinada porque no tengo una barra de trémolo como Marr uso. Pero Desafortunadamente, no me di cuenta de que la canción estaba afinada a 432 Hz y yo afiné mi guitarra a 440 Hz. Sin embargo, voy a rehacer la portada pronto. Y correctamente. ¡Sería un honor saber qué piensas de la portada actualizada cuando la publique! (perdón por el español roto, estoy usando el traductor de Google para obtener ayuda)
Forsure, its definitely something i have been trying to improve on. Though it can be tricky with these non 440hz tunes. This Charming Man or Still Ill, I can clearly hear the difference, but this one I couldn't. The things i learn along the way!
True haha, it takes a lot of practice to nail it. It takes even more time to learn to play it flawlessly without the tab for the videos! Xp You got this though, GL!
Do you mean that about the whole song? I know the intro sounds rough because i don't have a whammy bar and Marr is using one. But otherwise, i feel like the difference between my guitar tuned to 440hz versus the 432hz tuning of the song is barely noticeable on top the chorus. Either way, it pains me that I didn't catch it and i am sorry to have caused you pain. I hope i can make up for it when i repost the cover with the corrections!
гитара настроена. это звучит фальшиво во вступлении, потому что у меня нет тремоло, как у Марра в оригинальной записи. Я думал, что смогу уйти от этого. xp спасибо за ваш комментарий!

Demonstrates the pure genius of Johnny Marr. Such a fantastic track. Nailed it!
god i can't get over the 432hz tuning
This song is in 432hz?
Only person I’ve found that plays that intro on time instead of off beat like everybody else’s cover
your tutorials are always the most accurate, thanks
Thank you so much Joaquin and you are most welcome! I put a lot of time and effort into trying to make them as accurate as possible so I'm happy to see it pays off! There is still so much to learn though so!

all Smiths songs are Capo 2 or what ? :(
Pretty much lol. Most have capo 2nd fret, some on the fourth, and even less don't use one. But why the sad face? :o (If you don't mind me asking)
@@nicholaskguitar mans doesn’t have a capo 😭😭
Lol! Now thats a damn tragedy! 😭 If that's the case there needs to be a gofundme, CAPOS FOR ALL!!

¡De nada, Gracias por la respuesta, salud!
the tab is badly written you are playing an F#maj7 not an Emaj7
I am fine with writing the tabs out relative to the capo, but the chord names should match what's actually being played and not relative to the capo.
chord names with a capo are written relative with it, not based on the notes. It's confusing but that's how it is standard.
learn to tune with your ears and not your cellphone
