Thank you, i only have 3 fingers on my left hand and i always wanted to play this tune.
Big thank you, James. Super helpful. Have to play this for the first time soon and your video has been such a great resource. Huge thanks!
James cheers for the straightforward tutorial.
No worries TC, enjoy 🎸🎸👍👍
What a massive help brother. Been struggling to play this song with my band for quite some time. Awesome lesson. Thank you so much dude.
I'm a Bass player switching to Guitar for a new project. We're covering Mr. Brightside. While I have been playing Bass and Guitar for some time, the intro to this song done the way I've seen in tutorials just tore my hands up. After I watched the live Glastonbury video I was like, Hmm, there's an easier way. Then moments after watching the live vid I saw your video. Many thanks for putting this up.
Very helpful, especially the idea of learning it first with no capo, thanks
That’s brilliant James! Many many thanks for this lesson. I shall get working on it. I clearly wasn’t the only one having issues playing the other way
Cheers John - yeah way up the neck especially if you're singing too, its just a bit impractical
James i really would like to thank you for this breakdown!
You're welcome :)
Great little tutorial James, very straight forward 👍🏻
Thanks Joseph, happy jamming 🎸🎸👍👍
Fantastic! I have awfully short fingers and this song was physically impossible for me. Now there's hope! Thanks for the lesson man.
Great video ❤️ love your version of this song
Cheers Geezer!
Thank you for posting this so I didn't have to fumble about and eff it up.
Great tutorial James, just wanted to say I am really enjoying all your videos on your channel. Ps I've got my pre-order in and can't wait to listen.
Thanks so much Chris, for your comments and for pre-ordering. It's a cool feeling being in right at the beginning of something!
#takebackthecharts
very good sir! thank you
Cheers dude! Keep up the great work
Thanks Marge010, enjoy!
Thank you!
Love your channel, capos are really underrated as tools
Bloody brilliant
Big thanks BGA
I've been trying to learn this song for years but I could never because of my small hands, cheers for the video James.
No worries Seb, happy jamming 🎸🎸🎸
Hallelujia! Cheers for this.
Did you ever tab out the rest?
It sounds beautiful
Cheers! It's a cracking little riff
@@JamesHargreavesGuitar thank you for sharing it with us, I had seen that the original way is to play it almost at the end of the neck something like 17 fret, very uncomfortable way to play it because of the pattern that's challenging and this way it's in a more comfortable way keeping that particular and unique sound!
I thought you would title the video "Johnny Marr playing a Killers song the way I played" 👌
The Killers began when the guitarist turned up to meet some guy called Brandon who wanted to form a band. 'Have you got any songs?', he asked the prospective singer, who had brought a keyboard with him. 'Well, I've got this thing I call 'Mr Brightside', he says.
So the only really good song in their repertoire was written at their first ever rehearsal. I think they probably peaked there, to be honest.
Don’t disagree. Actually the first five songs off the first album are pretty good plus WYWY. But not much since. Human is bloody awful!
James it would be nice if you could do a gear rundown. Have you thought about doing one? Guitars, amps, recording, etc!
Hey Fretter18, its definitely a possibility... would be a long video though hahaha
I think it would be worth it James, be nice to see how you recorded the ep.
Massive help thank you. The killers way is near impossible and I’ve been playing guitar for 25 years! Could I request a follow up video for the rest of the song as this is probably getting added to our set list and I just can’t seem to get the chords and notes right for the rest of the song.
Hi Chris - possibly in future!
@@JamesHargreavesGuitar thanks mate. Think I’ve fathomed it now though.
Buddy you have saved my arse! Thankyou so much, liked, subbed and put your link on the original video at Glastonbury, hope that's ok?
I've seen them play the original way live and its ridiculously hard to keep the speed without making mistakes 😂
Heyy! Love the tutorial just wondering do you perhaps have tabs for the prechorus too?
CD purchased! :-)
Cheers UWD, massive massive appreciation!
Great tutorial, any chance you could do a vid on John squires seahorses tone? Cheers
Hi Kevin - interesting idea. You might check out John Calver Music, he's a friend of mine, and knows how to get the Squire tone much better than me. His channel is here:

This is a lot sweeter on the hands too. All that stretching is great when you got young hands but later in life things change.
To be fair, All These Things That I've Done is good. 'I've got ham/But I'm not a hamster' is also one of Bill Bailey's best jokes.
Hahahahahahahahaha
Makes a lot of sense but what about the following section that goes "...chest now. He takes off her dress now. Let me go." and the following line with the Bm A G -ish chords? Having just about mastered the trickier version (but ending the song a bag of nerves wondering if my fingers will work properly for the next song) I would appreciate an easier version including those following lines... please? [Ah!... I see someone has already asked for it.]
Great lesson, although with the capo the pre chorus is missing some low notes. Got it! Drop D tuning!!
How do you play the pre chorus and the chorus?
What about all the rest of the chords?
Hmmm..... interesting, I’m might give it a go this way. I currently play it ‘the correct way’ in my band. But it’s a real stretch on the fingers. Worth noting that it’s practically impossible to play if you have your guitar slung a bit lower like Johnny does!
Yeah the original is mental if you want to sing at the same time too
Johnny fucking Marr. Great video!! Thanks, brother
Cheers Luis, you're very welcome 🎸🎸🎸
Thanks for the lesson James! Do you have pointers or tabs for the pre-chorus too?
More Johnny marr riffs if possible
Will see what I can do...
do you have full tab of this, sir?
Do you have the rest of the chords for the 2nd riff and the chorus?
Interesting...
I've always capo'd this at 4th too - But I play with D shaped chord - Actually Db (add9) with first finger on fret 11 of D string and shift over to the fist string for the 4th note, the Eb. Then drop the 3rd string a semitone to get the C and then open giving the F# - so it's in key with the recording - it's indiscernable when gigging.
Nothing more annoying than songs that are recorded de-tuned though I agree...even worse - I play with a cover band that play in Eb dropped - but routinely transpose some songs up half a step so they are in key with the records...SMH.
I know you’re not saying Johnny Marr nicked it off you, but he nicked it off you. 😂
Yes but playing songs in different tunings is a good excuse to BUY ANOTHER GUITAR!!! Ha ha 😉
I like the way you think...
That's the dream: one in standard, drop d, drop c, open g, open c, DADGAD, etc...
be careful what u wish for.. ive got guitars .. several of everything in all but the laundry n bathroom.. now i walk around tripping over them n moving guitars n cases n amps etc.. and i put a drumkit in loungeroom with recording studio to make things worse... my younger self😮 would be droolling .. my older self now is getting a sore back just lookin at em.. but yeh the place looks pretty cool n i play watev i want wenev i want..lol
