[Hapworth1924]

I love Morrissey's voice, but the guitar alone here is perfect.

[metallicblauauto]

I could hear this as an infinite loop.Thanks.

@jaypee28 your absolutely right 

[JayPee28]

The Progression looks like G-D-Am-C-D to me.

[MrEwant1980]

@JayPee28 it is this progression, which is what Noel Gallagher nicked for 'Live forever' (which is a far better song)

[JayPee28]

@MrEwant1980 I never knew that. Just shows ya you can change the rhythm but use the same progression and get a different sounding song. You live and learn.

[jack4eva5]

Can some one please tell me how he gets that sound when he is play the chords please please please :)

[MSimp2k6]

@jack4eva5: Take this with a pinch of salt as I'm not much of a player myself, but I'm pretty sure that he's muting the strings using his fretting hand.

To do it, keep your fingers on the strings as if you were going to play the chord, but don't push down hard enough for the chord to sound -- you get a sort of choppy dead-ish sound which sounds pretty cool.

You can see Johnny's fretting fingers 'bouncing' on the strings as he's muting/unmuting the strings.

[jim25shwp]

@MSimp2k6 Don't think he is muting them, i think it is maybe the setting and pick up he is using, he plays it near the top pick up. I have a Fender guitar similar to his and if you play with the pick up setings you can get that sort of sound.

Everyone loves the "Hatful" version of the song.

[Stairwaytoheaven06]

@damienmetalwind of course ! <3
