Every Marr riff is the definition of "Harder than it sounds". I can't tell you how many Smith's songs I sat down to learn, only to realize I'm trash or he's too good at writing catchy, complicated arpeggiated riffs.
Hahaha I know this exact feeling. Even here with a riff based around a couple of power chords if you lose the bounce even for a second or duff one note it’s gone. Man is a genius.
@@billybanter9573 That is a reductive, and probably incorrect assessment of his writing skills. That and the difficulty of keeping one of his bouncy arpeggio/string skipping rhythms going for 4 minutes of a song without screwing up somehow.
Thank you 🙏 Love the Smiths, agree that Johnny was a pioneer and genius, and yeah I’m here for your jokes too. I’ve been in drop D/C# tuning for a week blissfully enjoying No Q on my acoustic, but I look forward to learning my fave Smiths song. That opening riff has been all air guitar up til now. Makes all the difference. Thanks again!
such cool riffs and rhythm ! - been trying to figure this one out forever, and never gotten past the first part, and turns out there's some subtle stuff I was missing - so helpful, thanks so much, really appreciate it !!! - ( beautiful tone here as well as always ..., truth be told sometimes - not this time - I just watch your videos to listen to your playing )
Middle pickup, mad respect. I like what you did for the chorus section, that's my favorite way that I've heard to play it. Subscribed for more Smiths content!
Many thanks for this Sped. Great song and Jonny Marr a awesome guitarist . Will have to make some time for this one💯👍👍👍 Brilliant tutorial as always Cheers mate
Great lesson as always & great song, time for me to learn it all & not just the main riff. Johnny Marr is amazing and still putting out great albums. I saw some footage of him playing at Hyde Park recently on stage with Pearl Jam playing Neil Young’s ‘Throw Your Hatred Down’ & he was playing in a way you never normally see him play - tearing through pentatonic leads & yes, he does that really well too.
Only 3 main parts to this and they're relatively short! Whack those double stops in at the end and I bet you're done in the time it takes you to watch the video!
Nice one Sped. Love The Smiths and Mr Marr.(almost as much as your channel) Another excellent tutorial covering all parts and nuances. Liked the fact you broke down the outro too. Your magnanimity surpasses all the other RUclips channels for which we are all grateful.. Any chance of doing a tutorial on Alive and kicking by Lari Basilio ,plz I know your a fan if you can fit it in to yr busy schedule, go on you know you want to🤞🤞🤞🤞
Is it called Your Love?💜💜💜Love what Ive heard of her so far, Fearless, sunny days Shes touring Europe but either played UK already or just playing Spain ,Italy etc. Shes doing a guitar show in Norway next March (around my birthday hint) I heard you mention her playing on a podcast turn' that ₩¥$# down' and spent a while looking for Barry Vasilio lol. Appreciate the recommendations even if I initially misheard you
What Difference Does It Make? Well I quite enjoyed this tutorial, so I would say a rather large difference. Any Johnny Marr lessons are very well appreciated.
Hey Sped nice lesson as usual I play this both ways The way it is on the record and also without the capo Interestingly whenever I play this in a band setting for a knockabout jam with people who don’t know what it is, they go nuts for it! Like a lot of Smiths stuff it can be very rocky and funky
Yeah a lot of people have already said to me they haven’t heard it. Yeah I’m aware he tuned up a tone for a lot. This Charming Man as well right? We’d all be entering string snapping territory there though… 🤣🤣🤣
Superb choice of song, thank you for another great lesson. Even though the opening riff seems simple, I'm struggling to get the transitions as smooth as you do!
I say this with luv. All your playing sounds Sped up. Ever heard that before? Bet not. I’m a creative type.😎And thoroughly enjoy your stuffs Good sir! 🤙🤙
In my experience Metalheads usually have a deep appreciation of what into perfecting an instrument. Let’s just say a lot of metal isn’t simple right? 😂🙌🏻
…All men have secrets and here is mine So let it be known For we have been through hell and high tide I think I can rely on you… I freakin love the Smiths…Sped you are the man😎
ok looked (and heard) them up...but have to admit...i took time out of guitar and music in general in the 80s.... remember...i sold my precious "stuff" early 80s for house and family.....😪
Eyup Sped....haha...."and now for something completely different2 oh yeah...but hey it does sound quite cool.... but i also have to admit, i don't know the "smiths"......hmmm
Love to see smiths on the channel again! "Heaven knows I’m miserable now” tutorial would amazing or "you just haven’t earned it yet baby” thanks mate
Great suggestion! Thanks for watching, glad you liked this!

@@phant0mdummy Waht ! Have you actually recorded in a real studio?.
When I hear the smiths I hear sanity and good taste with an abundance of light humor truth and melancholy
That’s the power they hold. All that from an A5 capo 2! 🤣✨
Can I get the Smiths with Morrissey edited out?
I love the way the 7th fret of your guitar look like the eye of Horus with the wood grain. Amazing tutorial Mr Shed! Thanks

Awesome David! Thank you! Looks like I got you with a double whammy then. Two personal faves back to back. Will work on a hat trick. 😏
Great lesson, thanks. Solid deadpan schtick too. Best lessons I’ve seen on the RUclips.
Awesome track mate - with awesome lesson and an awesome shirt! What’s not to love?! Thank You!
It is a nice shirt. Charity shop steal that. Walked in, it was on the manakin. Tore it off, straight to the till. “Iya, just this please love.”
I've been playing years and still appreciate learning new things.
Great tutorial my friend 😎🎸

Perfect! Funny, accurate and no fluff. Excellent lesson. Jonny Marr, genius with a bob haircut circa 1984

Brilliant tutorial as always
Cheers mate
You've got ten minutes. I expect it done by tea.
Thanks, Finished it. Can't even remember why I wanted to learn it now.
Well Ben, you’ve learnt it now, what difference does it make?🤣

Yes!!! He finally delivered😎 keep it coming with some more Smiths
He did, he did!
Well done - I thoroughly enjoyed the lesson as well as your jokes!
Howdy from Texas! Really do enjoy your videos. Nice song choices and great lessons wrapped in an entertaining presentation. Keep it up.
Heyyyy, thanks so much for that. Keeps me inspired! 🙌🏻✨
Great song, fab lesson. Cheers Sped!
You’re welcome! 🙌🏻

The intro hahahaha. Nice shirt m8
Alright m8, I've got a little blue tennis dress lined up for my next video don't you worry.
Hi, absolutely brilliant lesson!! 👏 this song really makes me think of how many more times by led zep. Thanks for the great lessons mate 👍
Nice! Can’t wait to work on some Smiths riffage this weekend.
Nice one Phillip. Have fun with it!
Nice Mate I Like your variety methods 👍
So nice of you thanks!
Great lesson! Hoping you might be willing to do a lesson for Nowhere Fast.
Thank you, great lesson!
You're very welcome Eric!
Diane, is mums name. The cat brought a frog home. Cheers!!
A breakdown of James Honeyman Scott's guitar lines from The Pretenders would be good. I wore out their first album.
What Difference Does It Make? Well I quite enjoyed this tutorial, so I would say a rather large difference. Any Johnny Marr lessons are very well appreciated.
Haha, thank you! Glad you liked this one. To be honest, I should just teach everything I’ve ever learned all the way through. 😅
Hey Sped nice lesson as usual
I play this both ways
The way it is on the record and also without the capo
Interestingly whenever I play this in a band setting for a knockabout jam with people who don’t know what it is, they go nuts for it!
Like a lot of Smiths stuff it can be very rocky and funky
Yeah a lot of people have already said to me they haven’t heard it.

Superb choice of song, thank you for another great lesson. Even though the opening riff seems simple, I'm struggling to get the transitions as smooth as you do!
Any chance of doing Love is The Law by The Seahorses please?
It just takes practice Paul. I’ve taught that song in full on the channel.
@@SpedSpedding thanks I'll check it out
I've decided not to wait for that les Paul that you said you needed and get one my self. So there olde man!!!
Whaaaat? 😅
Nice one, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
I got piano sheet music for Oscillating Wildly..its pretty tricky... been on it 5 years.
Marr wrote.
I say this with luv.
All your playing sounds Sped up.
Ever heard that before?
Bet not. I’m a creative type.😎And thoroughly enjoy your stuffs Good sir! 🤙🤙
Never head that before…
What a song. Despite me being a die hard metal fan I love the Smiths and I think that's true of half the metalheads in the world.
In my experience Metalheads usually have a deep appreciation of what into perfecting an instrument. Let’s just say a lot of metal isn’t simple right? 😂🙌🏻
Great choice! Great lesson! Maybe Girl afraid?
Great suggestion! Glad you enjoyed this one!
Thank you !
My pleasure!
Thankful for another excellent lesson (and not an existential debate lol)🤣
😂😂 yeah I was 50/50 at the start.
@@SpedSpedding 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nihilism never sounded so good..
.
Extra Northern. I like that. Very True. Nice Pillow.
That Elephtant is in need of a solid arse squash later. 😂
Just watched your escape to RYE....cool place, dig your channel
Awesome! Thank you, that was a nice day out!
hey sped thanks
You’re welcome!
Not familiar with this at all but great lesson.. always good to expand and listen to new material.. new to me anyway 👍
That’s awesome Mike. Great practice for the picking hand, string skipping precision and all. 💪🏻🤯
What type of guitar does Johnny Marr use on this track please?
In an interview I think he said a '64 Casino
@@badowski99 thanks
1. On Speds play through it looked easy
2. I know the song, heard it hundreds of times
3. Here we go 👏🏻
4. 🤨Not as easy as first thought 🤔
It’s harder than it looks! Especially the picking matching his feel.
Liked it! Frances
Breath of fresh hair that were
…All men have secrets and here is mine
So let it be known
For we have been through hell and high tide
I think I can rely on you…
I freakin love the Smiths…Sped you are the man😎
Haha thanks Eddie! Stoked you liked this video. Might stick out the examples as a full cover midweek. 🤔
Nice vid 👍
Thanks!
Love it
Cheers Tony!
Sped if you’re taking requests…headmaster ritual or hand in glove or anything smith’s really!!!
Nice one thanks!
....sounds FAB but far too complicated. Do you know any Quo songs?
Nah, give it 18 minutes and you’ll get it. 🫡
Love your nonchalant style , any chance you can come and live with me feeding me guitar and beer ?
blessed
🙏🏻✨
ACE 👍
Thank you! ♠️
Rank was a classic album, I meet Johnny you know what he said? Nout as U do
Nout beats a pint in the Salford Arms lad.
Nice
Glad you like it. 🙌🏻
ok looked (and heard) them up...but have to admit...i took time out of guitar and music in general in the 80s....
remember...i sold my precious "stuff" early 80s for house and family.....😪
You're back in business now right?
@@SpedSpedding i certainly am.....yesssss......and better than everrrr......😅
my cat brought in a poo from another cat
Eyup Sped....haha...."and now for something completely different2 oh yeah...but hey it does sound quite cool....
but i also have to admit, i don't know the "smiths"......hmmm
Never heard of them? 😯
@@SpedSpedding i can vageley remember hearing the name, but couldn't say i have been "aware" of their music.....sooorry...!!
No woman no cry
It would be a little easier to follow along with a clean guitar tone and without the camera switching angles so much.
are you chris speeding son?
Check out the video of me and Chris to find out! Haha
WHAT A CLOWN SHOW!!!!
This could have taken up 5 minutes with how basic it is
