Great job my man. I'll be working on this one for a looong time before I get it, but when I do, I'll be in the pleasure-zone for the rest of my natural life as long as a guitar's near.
Absolutely superb Andy! One of my all time favourite Smiths songs covered very well indeed. As a learner player myself it's on my list of songs to learn.
Keep 'em coming fella, Bigmouth Strikes Again please!!! ;-)
Bravo. Great vid. Great to see people playing music and having a bit of a sing - especially an Englishman singing a Smiths song. Encore - post some more.
This is one of my favourite songs, it was great to see somebody play it so...perfectly. Although, I just realised the way I've been taught to play it is wrong. Any chance of a tutorial? Or a tab with strumming pattern? I'm not very good at working songs out.
Thanks very much, and thanks to everyone who's commented...(Except 'you suck balls' guy..)
I don't know that there's a lot I could tell you in a tutorial...You've clearly realised that the key to playing this song is the strumming, not the chords, which are all basic...But if you watch my right hand, you'll see that the rhythm is constant throughout; I'm not stuttering the timing to make the rhythm at all, so I'd say that the secret is in the timing of the chord changes,
especially the very brief D between the C & G (0:24)...
Also the C-D-G before the vocals come in(at 0:13) is odd, because it's a kind of triplet rhythm, so you have to emphasise on the down stroke with the first three, then the upstroke with the second...
Hope that helps, I'm not sure I've explained it too well, but those are the things I think you need to practise to get the feel of the song...
Nice cover mate(better than my version imo)....was kinda hoping you would play the whole of I want the one I cant have as well but i'll settle for the spousal abuse instead.. ha ha...quality!
Instead of playing the full D chord in the main riff, you should just slide up 2 frets from the C chord (keeping the same fingering). That is how Johnny Marr does it. I saw the Smiths in '86 and remembered this exactly. Cheers
