Me playing the song "Bigmouth Strikes Again" by The Smiths on guitar. I'm no Johnny Marr. It's a full cover, not just a section of the song. I'm playing on my Fender Jaguar HH with an acoustic guitar simulator on my effects processor. That's how I get that twangy sound for the strumming, since I don't own a Rickenbacker 360.

Sorry my pedal-switching skills are lax. I'm not used to doing it, plus if I don't hit the pedal of my processor in the right spot, sometimes it goes into bypass mode, so I had to be extra careful, lol.

Enjoy. I'll probably do a cover of "Barbarism Begins At Home" later tonight or even tomorrow.

  • Don't worry - there is only one Johnny Marr. Cool cover.

  • and let me just add, i am so so so happy that "young" people (people younger than me and i was born in '76) listen to the smiths, the cure, the clash, etc. I get worried sometimes about the state of music in the future...
