(COVER) How to play The Smiths - Oscillate Wildly

[blaufeuer7]

Awesome job, friend!



[Caoimhin28]

Quality!



[wowier]

your video is the best out of all the others because it is the most exact to the actual tune. When it comes to learning how to play the song, I get annoyed when other wankers deviate too much from the original.

Good job!

[mef1975]

@wowier Thank you so much, that was my intention, although, I shouldn't have video taped it upside down.

[thfonz]

love this shit dude. 

[mef1975]

@thfonz Thank you and greeting to all you Kiwis over there.

[Moorzeee]

nice ivory skills, ditch the outty belly button shirt.

[mef1975]

@Moorzeee LOL, Ah yeah, I had been picking at it before recording, so it left the indentation on the shirt. Pretty funny huh, and FYI, it's an ini, LOL! Thanks

[v74Bvdmp]

my god that looks difficult the two hands seem to be playing against each other rather than with each other!

[mef1975]

@v74Bvdmp Very perceptive!

[lewys93]

Well done, you've done all the twiddly bits really well!

[hooligun240]

morrissey doesn't play any instruments. it was marr on the piano.

[815oceanic815]

Is Johnny Marr the one that plays this song on the album or is it Morrissey? I thought Morrissey doesn't play an instrument?

[33fgfhjjggy6y]

it think its marrisey who plays the piano in this one

[blotchy67]

@33fgfhjjggy6y no

[mef1975]

I suppose the one who wrote it is the one who played it, but I wouldn't doubt MOZ's piano playing abilities. I just don't actually know.

[skooage]

from "The Queen is Dead" -

She said "I know you and you cannot sing" I said "That's nothing you should hear me play piano"

Maybe he's awful? maybe he's playing it down? not that he was a modest person..

[blotchy67]

@mef1975 The only time Morrissey ever played the piano was on Death Of A Disco Dancer...and that was unfortunate.

[djs1986]

Marr played this part for sure. He mentioned it in interviews. He's also credited for piano on the Louder than Bombs album.

[autodeskgeek]

this is awesome!

[mef1975]

Thanks! I surely enjoyed it. Probably like the only song I know on piano... Started learning it around the late 80s.

[afredus]

Awesome!  thanks

[Libraboi1017]

Is there any chance of you emailing me the notes for this song?

[mef1975]

Nah, I don't read or write.

[Libraboi1017]

Oh alright thanks man. Do you play any other instruments?

[mef1975]

Mainly guitar, but not much anymore.

[Libraboi1017]

hmm could you tell me what chords you played then out of curiosity

[wonderwall4355]

really good...

[xejlod]

YOU RULE !

[smithsonguitar]

this is great... any chance of doing a playthrough of asleep?

[RobynnGracee]

at some point in your life, maybe when you've nothing better to do, please could you write this out. just sat for an hour trying to figure out what you're playing upside down, i really want to be able to play this.. ha.

[mef1975]

Try turning your monitor upside down. But no, I don't ever write stuff out.

[smithsonguitar]

The sheet music is posted at my blog, Smiths on Guitar.

[nicofronzo]

THANKS DUDE, I GUESS THE WAIT TOTALLY WORTHS IT, AMAZING! GREAT JOB. yOU SHOULD SEND THIS TO DANIEL EARWICKER, THIS COULD CHANGE HIS MIND ABOUT THIS SONG.

[RobynnGracee]

urg, it's gonna take a long time to work out upside down...

[mef1975]

Oh yeah, I should've considered that. I guess, being left handed, I think mirror image.

[RobynnGracee]

I LOVE YOU.
