Johnny Marr was never easy for me to figure out on guitar! He was always at something that was not quite standard tuning. You got this one down, pat! Nice job. ❤️
ive found that standard tuning at about 428hz is really accurate to most recordings since he was tuning up two steps by ear, so capo and 428hz is probably the best
In his early years of The Smiths Johnny used to tune all his strings up a full tone instead of being in standard tuning and having a capo on the second fret. Pros & cons doing this, main drawback is the strings being much higher in tension so more prone to strings snapping more often.
Nicely played My friend, another all time classic riff, I’m gonna play this one tomorrow night at my band rehearsal, not performed it before but is relatively simple, pretty sure we’ll get away with a rough first time version.cheers for bringing this song to light again for me.
Lyrics: As merry as the days were long I was right and you were wrong Back at the old grey school I would win and you would lose But you've got everything now You've got everything now And what a terrible mess I've made of my life Oh, what a mess I've made of my life No, I've never had a job Because I've never wanted one I've seen you smile But I've never really heard you laugh So who is rich and who is poor? I cannot say...oh You are your mother's only son And you're a desperate one Oh... But I don't want a lover I just want to be seen...oh...in the back of your car A friendship sadly lost? Well this is true...and yet, it's false Oh... But did I ever tell you, by the way? I never did like your face But you've got everything now You've got everything now And what a terrible mess I've made of my life Oh, what a mess I've made of my life No, I've never had a job Because I'm too shy I've seen you smile But I've never really heard you laugh So who is rich and who is poor ? I cannot say...oh Oh... You are your mother's only son And you're a desperate one Oh... But I don't want a lover I just want to be tied... oh...to the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car Oh...
Headless one you cover too of my favourite bands ever. Smiths and stone roses. Just found your channel recently sorry! Would love to hear a there is a light that never goes out cover of course by the smiths.
would you be my johnny marr? I'm serious. someone says I have a good voice. I want to form a Smiths tribute band but in Italy I will never find a skilled guitarist like you who shares the passion for this band. Where are you from?
without a doubt one of the Smiths best songs, lyrically and musically, almost never gets a mention
As well as the chords lol, want to get this down one day! Looks pretty insane to play 😂
100% agree!!!
@@dabby6596 actually one of his easiest ...try "Girl Afraid"..yikes
Underrated

I always loved that outro - so melodic such yearning
Same, the outro is so great.
Yep the Outro is another infectious beauty.
Same!
So fluid.....very inspiring
Thanks mate. Great one to try play in the pocket - a proper groove on this tune.
Brilliant. Fantastic tone from the 330 too.
Nailed it!

Lyrics:
As merry as the days were long
I was right and you were wrong
Back at the old grey school
I would win and you would lose
But you've got everything now
You've got everything now
And what a terrible mess I've made of my life
Oh, what a mess I've made of my life
No, I've never had a job
Because I've never wanted one
I've seen you smile
But I've never really heard you laugh
So who is rich and who is poor?
I cannot say...oh
You are your mother's only son
And you're a desperate one
Oh...
But I don't want a lover
I just want to be seen...oh...in the back of your car
A friendship sadly lost?
Well this is true...and yet, it's false
Oh...
But did I ever tell you, by the way?
I never did like your face
But you've got everything now
You've got everything now
And what a terrible mess I've made of my life
Oh, what a mess I've made of my life
No, I've never had a job
Because I'm too shy
I've seen you smile
But I've never really heard you laugh
So who is rich and who is poor ?
I cannot say...oh
Oh...
You are your mother's only son
And you're a desperate one
Oh...
But I don't want a lover
I just want to be tied... oh...to the back of your car
To the back of your car
To the back of your car
To the back of your car
To the back of your car
To the back of your car
Oh...
Secret favourite 👍
