COVER: The Smiths - Suffer Little Children

[simionTheOne]

wow.. at his 19.. i wish i could do something like that next year

this song is just amazing

[gcmadeboy2]

I have trouble at :31.... you are awesome btw

[LikelyLad97]

Johnny Marr is a genius.

[yugosake]

This is one of the most moving Smiths songs out there. Awesome cover.

P.S. Whenever you happen to create a full version, email me first.

[Luistervink]

is this a 12-string? and if so...can you play a 12 string without a plectrum as I never use one...

[SilentLD]

the chord progression on this song is pure genious, melancholic and intensely beautiful. well done daniel for what must have taken a huge amount of effort and time to master!

[dermot51]

@SilentLD This song shows Marrs geniu...uses all the strings and makes every note count su...fuckin...perb!

[arelizvanilly11]

i love this!!

[juanyyconbelleza1]

esta cancion esta dedicada a los niños que murieron a causa de la crueldad del monstruo Ian Brady,

[ThereIsARain]

Easily the most depressing song Morrissey/Marr ever wrote. Makes me cry.

[joblessboob]

just an observation but your fingers look quite worryingly grey in this video

[merryberry21]

Played fantastically well, but i have to admit i think you shpuld play your telecaster more, johnny plays tele's so much, its a misguided belief that he just strummed his jingly jangly rickenbacker, although i love ricks and you have a gorgeous one.

[guitardude545454]

Really need a Rick!

[mrwilsonthedog18]

my favorite song when im feeling a bit on the down side.

we need some tabs bro.!!!

[frodo261]

try "Smiths on Guitar" site

[leonardjohnny67]

JM loves his slide ups doesn't he?

[sealsgivebirth]

Amazing! Next best thing to Johny playing it in his prime. Would love some tabs with it if your ever bored;)

[rael1999]

Raw Talent.....magic Dan keep it up

[PumPumBandit]

to fast

[tchwiss]

too stupid

[dermot51]

totally beautiful what a fantastic pop tune

[Murjoe16]

I'd love to hear a version with all the instruments in; and maybe with you singing? You're better than you know :]

[KintrickPinch]

I'd really like to hear a version of 'The Hand That Rocks the Cradle'... do you know it?

[dermot51]

now thats another classic tune isnt it

[jojo1791]

quite similar to this song as well I think.

[Daviock666]

Dude... Your Rickenbacker changed a quarter of my life

[danielearwicker]

Only a quarter? Damn.

[Daviock666]

Never mind... IT CHANGED 100%

[wungabunga]

A bit off Dan, but still good!

And I disagree about the Ricky, it's an almost jolly riff in parts - runs that fine line, and the Ricky pushes it over the edge for me. (It's amazing what he managed and at such a young age, the song is about child murderers so he adds the childlike quality to the riff without appearing jolly).

[volumeuploud]

its not about child murderers its about children that were murdered.

[wungabunga]

Actually it's about both ("Hindley waits, whatever he has done, I have done" etc), but I take your point!

[icarokar]

Good job Daniel! Your JetGlo it's really beauty!

[wonderwall4355]

wow.

[Vpmatt]

I love a jangly Rickenbacker.

[hokieguy95]

Best song on their debut. Nice job. I hope to play that soon.

[jlp58mjp]

awesome job!!!

[marrzipan]

Hi, I just revisited your video after a while. I really like how you combine the two (or more?) original guitar tracks into one, especially the strummed part sound really nice. I've posted my own take on this song as a video response. It's a bit simpler than yours, just what I hear as "Guitar 1" on the record. Check it out.

[tefilobraga]

Another masterful Marr composition. With a comprex structure and carefully crafted as ever, it includes some dissonances, which Morrissey, not surprisingly found appropriate to convey the sinister atmosphere of his lyrics about the Moors' murders.

[Evangivesafuck]

this is great.

honestly

[joydivisionthecure]

awsome

[guitarlovve77]

sounds really good!how are rickenbackers?i thought about gettin one.

[JanBenes]

What do you mean, "how are they"? You hear it, right? Do you like the sound? Well, trust your own ears if you like it! They are expensive, but you get what you pay for, generally.

[garymurtagh]

i like it

[TheQuakerKId]

Absolute class Daniel.

[nunzioforpresident]

fantastic.

do you play moz solo songs?

[stevenuuu1212]

sir, i must say your playing is extaordinary.

[NinetiesYouth]

A 19-year old kid wrote this song 25 years ago.

[ochentosa]

oh god this is great

[marokokisetter]

beautiful beautiful beautiful! so much character in your playing! :-D

[ReintBoven]

Could you tell in what key it is (and capo), and which chords? Please? :)

[doohickeyratblaster]

WOW!!! I love this song and you have done it exactly right! So, how are Modest Mouse then Johnny?

[marrzipan]

This is one of my favorite Smiths song to play on the guitar. Could you play it on the tele and play the bass too? I think this song in particular demonstrates how bass and guitar worked so well together in the Smiths. Without the bass you can hear there's definitely something missing. (Btw, the Ric 12-string sure is a nice instrument, but it kinda messes up the original melody, IMHO.)

[KissMyShadesToo]

As well as being the closing track on "The Smiths" this was also on the b-side of the Heaven Knows 12" single. I once (17 years ago) tried to work out the guitar part by slowing it down to 33 and a third rpm -and still couldn't get it right. It's always been one of my favourite Marr melodies - the Morrissey-free ending is perfection, in the same way that That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore is. So, thanks for posting this; it is next on my list of Earwicker interpretations to learn. Thanks.

[dharpe13]

great job. could you possibly try "ask"?

[danielearwicker]

Gracias, Amigos!

[Belmondough]

just a clean tone this time, right? or any effects on it?

[danielearwicker]

Just an amp modelling effect called "clean twin", so as clean as you can get without being direct-injected.

[Belmondough]

well done! thank you!

[laddswaim]

i see..that sheds so much as to how to play it..i always found that song to be the essence of the smiths. the lyrics and marr's guitar just shimmer..manchester so much to answer for!

[onemorejoe]

thanks very much johnny. i didn't think you'd ever play any smiths stuff ever again :]

[ash029]

Never been my favorite smiths song, but after this I think I'll have to give it another listen.

Could you have a go at Stretch out and wait possibly?
