The Smiths - Bigmouth Strikes Again

[panta90andleo95]

check out my cover :)

[Seireik]

Wow. That's great.

I'm 14 and actually trying it haha, having some problems though

[TheWhitenissan]

your guitar itself sounded awesome. those are really beautiful clean tones. what kind of amp do you use?

[seancrapola]

Wow. That's just about perfect. Makes me want to run out and get me a Rickenbacher.

[machineguntongue]

You got it right. Smooth and flowing but also with a bite. Good work.

[yknot10]

Umm that is the best I have ever heard besides Marr in studio.

[WinstonKiva]

I think he played this spot on. the tempo, the strum, all of it

[BlackTeddies]

I don't think you're strumming is right..

[mylosthead]

what effects pedals are you using here? sounds fab

[daveyc25]

@mylosthead Thanks! Chorus and reverb

[dirtyTony666]

great thanks for sharing, do you use delay and chorus also ??

[daveyc25]

@dirtyTony666 thanks. yes i used those 2 effects

[Davidmh1971]

It takes some doing to keep that strum going..well done...I had two Rickies, 330/6 and a 360/12 and sold em both, what a fool.....I still dream about my 330!!

[daveyc25]

@Davidmh1971 it does - and I only played a short section! not sure I could live without my Ric now!

[drstevie]

nice one ..i got same guitar Ricky 330..., it"s a cool sound , if you like Byrds / B.Springfield / Hollies / Searchers / Beatles / REM / Smiths/etc...& thats nice playing !!

[JackiePaperAndPuff]

[kildunne]

SWEETNESS

[Univox68]

great song, nice job man.

[ukmopsteruk]

Hey, great playing... just wonder at about 45 secs you go into a bridge.... I haven't been able to find a tab showing the chords for that.... any chance you can let me know what chords you are using in the bridge... :)

[daveyc25]

@ukmopsteruk it's just these shapes:

Em D Em F G

[tvtalent]

is it standard tuning? i hate you cause of your beautiful rickenbacker!! I wish i could have one!!!

[daveyc25]

@tvtalent haha! yes standard tuning

don't hate me!

[defendthelowend]

good job mate!

[GelGsound]

Your guitar is beautiful. I've always wanted a Rickenbacker. You used it well.

[bassbiglik0]

[karolecampesine]

I envy you this guitar!

[avdbroek1]

[mtsn]

[PUDDLEPUNK]

Awesmome mate, i have been trying this for years, i didn't even realise i used a cappo!!! how stupid am i

[charlysays04]

nice tone dude..

[charlysays04]

nice tone dude..

[ElimRem]

g7th capo for the win! i dont know why people on stage use those trigger capo's this one is just as fast and a much better capo. its the rolls royce of capo's and i love mine.

[daveyc25]

@ElimRem totally agree, g7th are the best!

[martinandre91]

@ElimRem

They're the best!

[9INCHRICH]

what effect are you using? Other gear?



[daveyc25]

@9INCHRICH Ric 330 into a Vox AD50VT on the AC30TB amp setting with a bit of chorus and reverb

[9INCHRICH]

what are the effects you are using?

[bailanta89]

do you wanna married me? good job, love people who plays guitar

[daveyc25]

@bailanta89 Yeah sure, why not?!

[TheGalwayFarmer]

@bailanta89 great english there

[rupertacdc]

holy crap. nice. what amp are you using???

[daveyc25]

@rupertacdc Thanks! Amp is a Vox AD50VT

[rupertacdc]

@daveyc25 think I'll get meself a vox then..

[jmccee]

wicked guitar!

[pakokation]

nice guitar!

[LedZebbelin]

This may be an easy song to play, but it is at the same time very funny to play along to. I don't know why, maybe it's the rapid chord-progression that makes it interesting. Anyway, good playing!

[Frostmoor]

Looks quite simple. But though, very cool :D

[jhetta22]

love the Ricky !!

[jolie1887]

Marry me.

[gmansi]

Great work :)

[gemmabiner]

ahhhh, i want a 370 12 string so bad

[daniva]

rickenbackers are one of the best electric instruments

[picinomundo]

@daniva true. all the world ever needed was fender, gibson and rickenbacker. maybe gretsch but that's it then really.

[DoityDeEmunz]

Nice!!

[parrish2]

tuning?

[jimmipgrxs]

badass guitar

[whatthefu123]

sounds like anna molly by incubus

listen to it and you'll know what i mean

[metrogod]

You're right, but I think it's the other way around. ;-)

No disrespect to Incubus, they're one of the most creative bands out there right now.

[dermot51]

thats a 330 6 aint it?

[SubconsciousDweller]

tabs and or chords PLEASE!!!

[MrGariac]

Well done mate. Your fingers seems to fly... Have you heard my Barbarism Beguins at Home version on Myspace Gariac ? A Smith's french fan

[daveyc25]

@MrGariac nice version of Barbarism! like what you did with it.

[MrGariac]

Thank's mate.Soon there'll be a vid of it... regards and respect.

[DjDirtyJUNGLIST]

well done dude thats realy well executed, it flows like a river with perfect chourd transitions.

i think i need to practice a bit more :) as i cant quite play it that smooth, i find that i cant strum it that fluidly or quite fast enough whist keepin fluid.

could you offer me any tips?

[daveyc25]

@DjDirtyJUNGLIST just practice! hear and feel the rhythm and watch how johnny marr & craig gannon play it on some of the live stuff on youtube. it's a tricky rhythm to get exactly and I still haven't quite got there! thanks for the comments

[LewisKiernan]

@daveyc25 I'm a guitarist. I haven't been taught. Johnny Marr is my guitar idol as well. I find it easy.

[txusterdistortion]

tabs, dude?

please

[jahur1]

not an easy track to play! very complex!!! well done

[Maryonpark]

Rickenbackers are so cool, fantastic guitars,. great vid!

[danielinsporto]

I know I'm certainly going to get a barrage of thumbs down, but I always found the guitar part to this song so amazing that the vocals that are constructed around it just don't do it justice. Sorry Morrissey.

Great cover by the way. Nailed it.

[kutbaag]

fuck off you little tit.

@davey: Liked your playing man, and the colour of your rickenbacker too!

[thelibertines91]

like the rickenbacker

[magocacana]

well done mate!!!

[y0uthqu4ke]

you are amazing.

you do the best smiths covers i've ever heard.

[sprintbass]

rickenbacker 330 fireglow...

i had a 360 which had stero/mono pick ups in it..but i always wanted to take thise pick ups and add them to a 330 because i think the body shape is prettier i can deal with the neck...

i love johnny marr...i loved what he did with "electronic" im 36 and i was 14 when the smiths broke up..cant say i like where morrissey's career has gone..in my view he never sounded as good as he did when he played in the smiths with marr, why they dont do 1 little show, SIGH

[eclectico78]

I gotta get one of those!

[lukphonp]

as much as i hate guitar hero, very nicely done :]

[mickkkkyy]

Great job Johnny Marr is my guitar hero too !

[spinningrooves]

very nice....

I have always screwed around with it and not used a capo. Obviously, the capo is the way to go :) nice work !

[Kushrynada]

Nice work dude

[jwattie]

Wonderful! Johnny Marr is a genius and you do him proud!!!

[Gaz0175]

Beautiful beautiful RIC... I have a 360... truly a dream to play, and nothing sounds like it.... great job!

[daveyc25]

Thanks! Enjoy your 360. They are truly beautiful, and addictive! I want more!

[algunosamigos]

[cheesemacg]

[Barber42]

Awesome !

[captainfuzzball]

how did you work it out? by ear or from tab?

great job either way

[simonfowler81]

I've bought the same guitar about 15 years ago, i've removed the sticker, but i still have it on the guitarcase ;-)

[katladevote]

That's amazing!

[simonfowler81]

ahahha very good, but remove the ''made in usa'' sticker LOL!!!!

[daveyc25]

You'll be glad to know I removed the sticker no long after I did the video. All clean now LOL!

[WorkersPartyKorea]

@simonfowler81 probably just bought it and couldnt wait to go home and play "big mouth strikes again" lol

[pukasteve]

WOW you are very talented well done!!

[wanttoknowrachel]

I sang along--awesome!

[BafucinMint]

amazing.

[mancbrent]

wow. wheres the lead plebb?

[cazulu3]

Lol

[daveyc25]

eh?

[bunburyZ]

Does Johnny Marr use a talkbox in this song ? i never could figure out that high pitched voice in the background.

[cjoor]

FWIW:

"The main riff is based on an Am shape, with a capo at the 4th fret. I buried this one little guitar part in just the right place, so it sounds like overtones of the main part, but it's really there. [...] We credited the background vocals to 'Ann Coates,' but that's a joke -- it's the name of a place in Manchester. It's really Morrissey's voice, speeded up."

- Johnny Marr, Guitar Player, January, 1990

[bunburyZ]

thanks man. i always thought it was a talk box.

[jakeforking]

i think they just used a +1octave pedal on the vocalline.

[farrygisher]

fukin great fair play

[Endy77Endy]

wow, ive been playing this song wrong. lol, my alltime fav. band and my alltime fav. song. Heers, to you man! keep em comin'

[guitadrenalina]

good sound! Jhonny Marr Rules!

[bertd111]

Do u always use a .73mm pick for the electric?? Just starting myself need a few tips.

[ChemicalSample]

pretty good

 :-)

[korhan]

heh perfect play. i used your vid to practice this song's bass thanks :)

[bertd111]

What pick are u using???

[daveyc25]

Probably a Dunlop .73mm

[Monumentale]

Could you PLEASE send me the guitar tabs of your superb arrangement???

Tks in advance

Luca

[ayoungknife]

what are the chord shapes for this please?

[b52eagle]

Top stuff

[blackjordan]

That does it. I must own a freakin' Rickenbacker before I die.

[retardsrus123]

go 4 it but make shure u get a decent amp. i got a 330 jetglo and a crappy berringer v-tone

[daveyc25]

Thanks for all the comments!Rickenbackers are worth every penny!! Best guitar I ever owned.

[xMpouMpax]

amazing....!

[DrkKnight2]

VERY nicely done, man!

[glasses92]

sweetest guitar

[emmanuelakritikaki71]

that's great! I can almost play it. lol

anyone know can chords are used at 0:47 till 0:54?

[attentionaddicts]

looks like Em, D then F

[emmanuelakritikaki71]

thank you!

[daveyc25]

Em, D, F, G

[Drats1NHScrew]

fantastic

[dustyleviz]

great tone!

[malotorres]

beautiful rickenbacker, the chords are right but you are playing little slow my friend! you have to play that like a fuckin flamenco! try it!

[mayall76]

nice guitar

[alfredogualdieri]

Excellent!

[CGi69]

Dude, that's pretty freakin' cool. I've always wondered what a couple of those chords were that I couldn't quite get. Thanks

[cezaralopes]

Ficou muito bom. Parabéns

Very good. Congratulations

[p00pdiiick]

this is sooo amazing.

best cover i've heard of a smiths song. ever.

[iwalkthel1ne]

ive never wanted a guitar more than your one

could you tell me your adress and when your likely to go on holiday?

[penneyduk]

lol!

[youngaikidoka]

that's the best looking Rickenbacker i've ever seen!!

[WitteBandera]

Nice :)

[nichoji]

perfect rickenbacker jangle, absolutely spot on.

[heysatan8]

Smooth! I like your room. :p

[acheforsound]

goddamn rickenbacker ashjhgsdgk je suis jaloux

[koshermonkeywax]

Very, very good. Where can I get the tab?

[spursroad07]

and ive just looked around at the other covers and your is best

[spursroad07]

wicked m8 spot on!!!!

[Kartofflesalad]

Thats beutiful! I love the guitar. How much did it cost you?

[Oz206]

very nice.

[buran2]

I play this just like you but I let ring the E string (the fat one?) when I play the 2nd and the 3rd chords (C and D with cappo). Great sound great guitar great player.

[merilaisas77]

oyeeeeeeeeeeeeeee me encantaaaaaaa

joder yo kiero aprender!!

[funtimeadventures]

dude better than i could ever figure out

good job

[Stevebanany]

the last chord in the main riff you play, is that a G6 or du you mute the high e string?

[daveyc25]

It's just a standard G-shape chord but you're mainly hitting the lowest 4 strings until the last strum.

[madferitupferit]

id slide the f sape up to the G

[evgad87]

sounds like the real deal.

i'm still struggling to get the speed down on the strumming.

[daveyc25]

it's tough cos it kind of goes across the beat, but once you get it...!!!

See my comment above about watching them do this live.

[legghiu]

the right hand part is so hard to play

[PaleFire09]

the strumming is what I think you mean? haha

[PaleFire09]

awesome video, any tips on how to learn the song?

[daveyc25]

have a look at the Smiths doing this on the the Old Grey Whistle Test (the clip is on YouTube) and watch Craig Gannon's playing. Using this performance is more or less how I learned how to play this one.

[FuckOffBastardHead]

Sweetness... sweetness i was only joking when i said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed

[innervoice1973]

Now I know how Joan of Arc felt!!

[addwada]

that was very nice,,

i think marr would think so 2 ;-)

[CalebTheGuitarist]

BOUT TIME i found a cover who actually KNOWS how to play the song like it should be played. sounds exactly like the real thing. KEEP IT UP!

[reelhausmuzik]

Very nice sound from the Ric, and your playing of course.

[sprintbass]

ok now your stepping into my terratory...i got to meet morrissey in 1992 but i am and will always be a smiths fan..wish they would burry the hatchet and reunite..your playing again is superb..i had a rickenbacker 360 guitar once in getglow..i was the only kid i knew in the 80s who could play barbarism begins at home on bass...but as usual all the cool kids who played new order and stuff lived in the uk..i was stuck around people who thought slash was god and i so desperatly wanted out of that!

[daveyc25]

LOL! Thanks again. Barbarism... is a brilliant funk bassline. Andy Rourke deserves more credit that he gets.

I know what you mean about being around people who are only into rock/metal...seems to be the way with most guitar players.

[Danielavrasinec]

5 stars

[emptyzzzzzz]

that was beautiful, wow, i can barter cocktails and beer if you'd play for me all night ;) lol

[daveyc25]

fair enough! when do i start...
