Nice tutorial 👍 In the chorus I play a D5 power chord instead of the D on the second round. I find it sounds closer to the original. This also plays OK on acoustic. To compensate for lack of tremolo effect I make the rhythm come from playing a mixture of E, E7 and Em in a rhythmic pattern and find it's not too bad.
The version that helped me the best in learning this song is a live version on The Queen is Dead Deluxe Edition. I hear 3 guitars on that version but, what is nice is there is a guitar playing with a tremolo in the back of the mix and another playing dry more up front. Made it a little easier to break down the song vs the studio version. There are a couple of guitar tutorials on RUclips of How Soon is Now and I like to watch them all. Yours is by far the best. Nice work and thank you.
Wow. Andy, fantastic job. Your tremolo sound it nearly perfect. I struggle to get it right with my JHS Tidewater pedal. Clear tutorial, and way better than what I came up with. Great job showing how to use to looper too. When you play the individual parts by themselves it is nowhere as fulfilling as putting it together. I keep the train sound ( with the detuned Bb) on my Boss looper, but I love how you did it.
Learn it now so that you can just blast it straight away on that electric when you buy it. I own only an old acoustic guitar and I'm having a great time rocking this tune on it ✌️
Really enjoying your videos and I'm learning a lot from them. I've only been practicing about a month so far. I would love to see you do a video on the song by The Heavy "short change hero". I'm a big fan of borderlands 2 and want to show off to this song around the campfire this summer. I'm struggling with some of the tabs and the chords being used. One video showed a capo at 2 beening used and other videos of no capo. I really appreciate it and can't wait to learn.. Thanks.
Great breakdown Andy, having fun learning this,the effects are brilliant using my SparkGo Just need to bring all the sections together. Don't think I can manage the lick at the end 17:34 🤔😃🤘🎸 Cheers
So, I'm 16, sat in my bedroom with an acoustic guitar, the smiths are my main inspiration, and I have absolutely no idea how to play any of their tracks, there was no RUclips back then.. we didn't even have the internet..
I love this song, Andy, but it's not my favourite smiths song (there are loads). Thank you for the lesson. I will give it a go. I'd love for you to cover "A vicar in a tutu" by the smiths. I think that would make a great lesson plus a great madchester video 🙂 thank you, my friend 🤞🙏🤘👏 Andy from Manchester
No. It can look like that, but I recommend twisting the wrist to do these faster strumming patterns, like I show here ruclips.net/video/6HT9ILHDi9A/видео.htmlsi=4OXFM0IkbMMiPn1G at 2:56 in that video

Much appreciated Ian! 🙏
Absolutely superb. The Smiths songs are the bomb
They're awesome, and they were so young when they wrote and recorded them!
Awesome song awesome lesson. Thanks Andy🎉
Thank you so much for doing this! Loved your madchester vid
I can't believe you figured it out!
00:29 Great stuff
Thank you. That chorus is kind of tricky. Nice job of elucidating that underlying rhythm that for some reason eluded me!

That sounds pretty damn spot on, with a nice clear lesson as well. Tone proper nice from the Strat (not always a fan of them). Thanks.
Love, love, love this! Thank you for making it accessible for a early intermediate player - I'm having fun with tremolo
Funny you mention the Bo Diddly rhythm, as that's what Johnny Marr says it is and how he plays it live. Great video, Andy.
Awesome stuff! 😀
Loved that! Gonna have a crack at it later
Feels like it'd be a tad redundant to learn this on acoustic, will save for when i can afford an electric guitar

Brilliant Andy, great to meet you at the Eurovision London party !
This is awesome!😎 Always loved this song. Hopefully you'll get a chance to do "There is a Light That Never Goes Out"🎸🕯
Here it is buddy ruclips.net/video/zfqKVMuIbUw/видео.htmlsi=8ejpgGFxkXT8NEKF
@@andycrowley Wow!!😯 That was quick 😂 Thank you 😎
Thank you, Andy
One of my fav!

what tones did you use? have the go myself
Great song
Imho Johnny Marr is one of the most underated guitarist.
stop saying that bullshit, no one fkn underate him
@@lucianogoyenechea8704 Inwich country did you stay? In France if you ask someone in the street nobody knows him
@@trianglerecords why would you ask in the street? you have to ask in the music community.. my mum dont know even david gilmour nor keith
Best song that Johnny Mars came up with! 🔥
Great tutorial, amazing how Johnny did all this by himself with one take on one guitar.. no overdubs honestly 😂

Was listening to this song as you posted 😂❤
i love it ... b ut just letting you know... the chorus chords is missing the d maj between the b5 and e maj

Hi Andy love that can you pls play that a little slower would love to learn it.❤❤
So you play from the elbow on the forearm?

America. By Dan Green on RUclips.
I loved that you showed your slide cock up!!!❤😂😅😊
Jesus Christ…so that wasn’t a beat machine? That vibrating sound was marr on the guitar the whole time!?
What's with the colostomy bag playing style?
