As has beeen constantly said before, the guitar sounds amazing- what i'd give to be able to play like that! And I don't think the vocals are too bad, it's quite a nice cover.
It repeats the following progression most of the song- Am G Am G F, C G And the transition to the chorus is Em, F GAnd the chorus is C Am, F Dm7 G, C Am F G, do that progression twice.
Nothing wrong with your voice, you just can't sing (properly). Perfect guitar playing though, I don't know how you play like that and sing at the same time, it's very difficult.
Bro, The Smiths are one of my all time favorite bands, and this song is probably my favorite. VERY good job on it! Your guitar picking is excellent and your soft sad voice is very soothing and befitting of this song. Keep it up!
I'm a long standing Morrissey/Smiths fan. I enjoyed your tribute very much. Those that are making derogatory remarks obviously are NOT musicians - a real musician would never criticise harshly, only give advice. Therefore those people can't even hold a guitar, never mind play and sing at the same time and in tune. Well done and keep it up.

Change of key. No capo at 4th fret. Weird. Covers on you tube baffle me. I'm viewing outta masochistic curiousity. .....and this is my favourite song.
Wasn't trying to be offensive, I think anyone tackling both the guitar AND vocal performance of this song, has courage. Sounds okay to me. My girlfriend and I used to listen to this in bed and it would reduce us to tears.
stevothecarpetfitter, go to google. Type in Smiths tribute southern hemisphere. Our former tribute band circa 2003 will appear, (Salford Lads Club.) There are first take audio versions of Bigmouth Strikes Again, Stop Me...,etc. Sorry, no live recordings. We covered 50 Smiths songs live at 17 seperate gigs. It was fun. The Smiths ARE a tricky band to cover, so respect to ANYONE who does a good job. I think the version here is fine. It has soul to it. I wanna hear 'Back To The Old House' please...

Hey, nice one dude. I suggest you look at the camera, engages us more in what you're doing and can get into it more. I assume you're reading the lyrics off your computor, fair play, i know most Smiths lyrics off by heart now but would still need lyrics myself as would be so nervous doing what you did there,so i understand, but how about printing them off and stickin them higher? Just a suggestion, tis your world :-)
You bring up a good point - I don't look at the camera, do I? Come to think of it I don't in any of my vids I just noticed. Guess I'm just the "keep yer head down" kind of player!
Awesome Guitar mate. I'd probably get miked up and sing that way or get someone else to sing it for you. But take nothing away from the guitar is beautiful.
it took me a while to like your covers just based on the vocals but i really like this one and the boy with the thorn in his side. you're very talented. keep posting.
Screw the negative comments .. you gave it your own impression . and as said previously : your picking style is brilliant ! .. I really loved it .. The pleasure - the privilege was mine . Cheers and keep it up !

the singing could be better if you'd use a capo on the fourth fret, like on the original.
