The Smiths-Girl Afraid

The main parts of this smiths song . A better version in the same key as the recording, not perfect but getting close I think. Similar to version johnny played live @ Rockpalast

Did you use a tab? If so where! Please tell me!!!!!! I love this!

[ResidentSmith78]

Hi mate..no tab i'm afraid. i worked out using software called slowgold. basically samples and slows down the track.its a painful process but worth it ..sometimes!

again will put up a half speed version if i get a chance.peace.

[ResidentSmith78]

anyone any ideas on that??(thumbpick that is)

[ResidentSmith78]

cheers for the comments folks, ur right switch, but its a hard trick!!i find it difficult to get the speed up and play it evenly with the nonstop picking patterns..just practice i guess. i'm thinking now it might be played with a thumbpick and fingers cos its kinda rockabilly style (?? i think)

[ResidentSmith78]

Thanks for the comments folks. It's a b*tch of a song to play indeed! I've been trying to figure it out for ages.hope it helps others trying to play also. I reckon its pretty close to the live version.

DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CLAMP?

[LewisKiernan]

Shame. I'd love to be able to play like you. The best i can play is Some Girls are Bigger Than Others! lol

Practice!

Just grow your nails a little bit, I can play this fingerstyle or with a pick on a big fat cheap peace of shit acoustic (my only guitar). Pin your little finger down to the guitar's body. Takes a while. I like your approach, do your own thing, but a couple of parts are way off as far as major/minor go - which is not good. When using a pick I change it a bit to make it easier. Use a hard pick.
