That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore Tutorial(sort of!) - The Smiths

[autotunepop]

Sort of? It's very close to perfection!

[karloslim]

@autotunepop Thanks a lot! Appreciate it.

[elcorona870722]

thanks

[paranoid788]

WOW thanks so much - this is brilliant :) i never would have figured this out myself.

[MrStu1966]

kid you nailed it. god it's much better with the internet nowdays - way easier to learn tunes. i can remember sitting in front of a tape cassette player constantly pausing and re-winding, listening to solos and attempting to copy 'em. modern life is NOT rubbish at all...

[neilfunn]

Really like this. Even enjoyed it just listening to the playing. Well done.

[spiderwirehat]

U get a smiley face sticker for this

[Poppypoo1]

Hugely appreciated!!! Great job!

[ceneg]

Good job there, man. Well done.

[SteveGad]

Good job buddy. Nice and simple, no words to complicate the tutorial. Exactly how it should be done!! :-))

[Carissa2091]

This is great, thanks a lot (:

[TheRecon88]

This is such a great cover, I can play it by ear but it's way off, this is just class

[MrYpres]

the 2 4 4 part shown on 020 dont sound right at all on my guitar, its just a bluuuughff

[karloslim]

@MrYpres It should be x44200 :)

[themushieman]

Lovin the tab man. Just wonderin, is the bit at 0:35 x07600 to x07604 then go to x07650 before the 7540 bit, if ye get me?? And btw, does the bit actually start with x07600 or is it x07650? Cheers

[karloslim]

@themushieman That section is just x07650 then quickly to x07604, x07600. Followed by x07650, x07607, x07605, x07604 but it should be played so quickly you will only be emphasising the melody notes. Tbh though just play it till it sounds good to you and keep the rhythm even. Karl

[janna25]

you play so well~ Sounds really beautiful <3

[Janamovie]

Love the lesson!! I'm wondering why the guy doesn't show his face?????

[sibacky]

That was fantastic! Best tutorial I've ever seen and now I can play my most impressive song! None of this "put the second finger on the third fret of the B string" crap, just nice slow playing and a great tab. I'm now working on Old House with your help. I rarely leave comments but wanted to say thanks for such a great video. Top man!

[karloslim]

@sibacky Thanks. Nice comments man. Pleased to help out!

[Silverspring777]

@karloslim People is honest when they say GREAT one of the best covers in youtube!. nice man very nice and if this would be a forum where every body give points you will get 10000000000 , !!

[BWFCUCL15]

This video made it possible for me to play one of my all time favourite songs live in a pub near Manchester. It went down remarkably well! Cheers man, amazing tab and video! x

[rounick]

5 stars,both for the job and the good taste in music!

[wrybread]

Wow this is great. I think this is the first useful application of those youtube comment popup bubbles I"ve ever seen. Thanks so much for sharing, and very very well played. I'd have never figured out all those intricacies.

[yalerd1]

I agree. great job

[shlongboy21]

very helpful...i'm getting there with it. good chord sharing fella

[simond666]

Nice one man - brilliant, a real good help! And the tabs were invaluable. Thanks a lot!

[themushieman]

Can ya play this without a capo?

[karloslim]

The tab is written out relative to the capo so yeah np. It sounds better with a capo though

[karloslim]

Cheers. It's a Faith Venus FV...not that well known but got a nice bright sound. A bit lacking in the bottom end but you can't have it all(unless you spend shed loads of money)

[trossachs2003]

Dead good. Tried to work out these chords for years with no luck.

Your guitar has a really good sound btw -

what is it?

[drossington]

Big help...Thanks so much!!!

[spacetoilet]

Thank you so much.

I haven't picked up my guitars in ages, and this has sparked me!

My favourite Smiths song, and after one session with your vid, I'm almost there.

Thanks

[karloslim]

Pleasure to help!

[nyuguy2k]

thanks for posting this, really. what is that thing on your fret board? i'm new to this.

[karloslim]

It's called a capo and raises the pitch of all the chords-most Smiths songs are played tuned up to F#. Cheers

[aboverise]

i can now play it.. most enjoyable to play bit rusty love how different the smiths make there music

[karloslim]

Cheers aboverise. Pleased you're having fun with it. Keep it up

[aboverise]

[diocrust]

Perfect thanx!

Perfeito valeu pelo post!

[mindfield7]

You are a saint! thanks!

[karloslim]

Thanks a lot! Your blog is absolutely awesome even if it does demystify the Marr a bit and make him seem (slightly) less Godlike lol

[smithsonguitar]

Thanks so much for posting this. This is awesome.
