good job man . .. . dont worry bout all the negativity . .. . you did good and with the finger piking that takes skill . . ... .dont worry about the tune of the guitar .. . its an easy fix. . . and you did really well adding a soft feel to the whole song. ..
These are the proper chords to bring the song out well. Intro- C Gm Eb F A G x2. The verse is just C Gm Eb F, the instrumental break is Ab Cm x2, with Ab Bb in a quicker pattern with a Gm leading back into the verse. If you're trying to give it a different sound and feel it'll at least help to have to proper configuration down first. Since you have the capo, try an A shape for the C, the barre for the Ab, C shape for Eb and so on. It works a lot better for transitions.
Firstly .. Uptmost respct for your guts in doing this .. but secondly ... could you do it again wth th guitar in tune .. I KNOW EVERYONE HAS ALREAD MENTIONED THIS BUT .. its jsut becauase i actuall really really like this cover .. and this is coming from a HUGE Smths fan, who are notoriously hard to please.
Do it agan, in tune, and it would be worth at LEAST a 4 maye even 5 star, in m oppinon :-)
I'm in two minds as to whether or not i like this- I like how you changed it around and stuff and made it yours and all that, but maybe next time- with a bit more feeling and emotion?? :)
Well, what can I say that is good about it - not a great deal. The technical plucking was good at times, but as everyone else has mentioned the guitar hurts my ears its so out of tune. The singing wasn't mind blowing either, or particularly good, mostly in tune.
Guitar is out of tune. Other than that really impressive - totally different, all the wrong chords and all the better for it because it's a cover and it's meant to be DIFFERENT. Bravo.
Just like in the Ronson one the chords AREN'T RIGHT and it winds me up no end, I'm sorry. Why cover a song if you obviously think the original song-writer's chords aren't good enough? Besides the fact the melody doesn't work when it changes to the second chord.
Record it again with the right chords and an in tune guitar and you might be okay!
youve just tried to turn a classic smiths song into a R&B tune, an beleive me, IT DOSNT WORK, the smiths were a band with a totally origonal sound, no-one before or since will ever sound like them, u cant cover morrisseys songs because they dont sound right, only morrissey himself can sing them songs, and only jonny marr can play them,, morrissey was the ying to jonny marr's yang,ORIGONALS ALL THE WAY FOR ME, youll never beat the origonal version of any song, never mind the smiths, try again lol
Very nice. I love the tempo, upstrumming and muting that you do. I wish you either could mike yourself or sing louder, you seem to be competing with the guitar. Either way, much better than anything I could do. I gotta lose that pick and start some fingering lessons! Great song choice from one of my fav smiths albums. Go back and see if there are any other guitar friendly songs, I'd like to see some more. Please?
No offence, but you're singing in an american accent something between britney spears and justine timberlake, you dont sing the verses at all, losing the essence of the song. Can really tell you liked the dance version. Guitar is out of tune, but playing isnt bad, if not too loud. But my advice is not to cover the smiths, it leads to comparisons... like that this is the backstreet boys butchered version of a classic.
This is a disgrace! you quote you heard that you heard the Ronson version first?!? thats a sad thing. you sounds lke Craig David, this should never have happened...
Te puede gustar o no gustar la versión. Pero el verdadero artista está aquí; no se limita a copiar nota por nota sino que la interpreta a su manera. Ademas no suena nada nada barato este chaval. Muy bien!.
I really can't stand the Mark Ronson version of this song - especially the detour that it takes into the Diana Ross crap. They really don't understand Morrissey.
This is so amazing! It's one of my favourite songs Smith's songs and you've put an amazing spin on it. Your voice really suits it too. Got a girlfriend? Lol
you HAVE to tell me the chords for this and the prayer. I dont have an ear like yours so i can't figure out myself. Cheers man, you're covers are amazing.
Great cover...and voice mate!

I think a lot of you are missing the point of a cover. If you want it to be the same (style, chords or even melody) then listen to the original.
Nice version, I like it (and yes, always check your guitar is tuned.)

Small piece of constructive criticism:
Please check your guitar is in tune before recording in future...this spoils the song for me.
