For the first bar he's improvising and then he starts playing Some Girls. Every time I see he him warming up he plays this song. I have recorded a video on which I'm playing this riff - i posted it yesterday.

@eddieoneil Cool video, Eddie. What I'm saying is, can you make a short video showing you playing this exact riff as Johnny is playing it? I know how to play some girls, and I have sturmmed through the chords along with this video... maybe I'm missing something but I don't see it. I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, but it just seems different... similar maybe but the picking pattern is different. I'm happy to be proven wrong, though.

@smithsonguitar Hes playing There is a light that never goes out

[smithsonguitar]

@Xiolablu3 We were talking about the intro. I know he's playing there is a light, it's mentioned in the info.

Oh, what I'd give to have a full version of There Is A Light... played like that so I can listen to it on repeat.

Now I do love Morrissey...but sometimes I wish I could just listen to his guitar playing on it's own. Just so much emotion in his playing...I don't even need any words.

He is the reason why I picked up a guitar...although, he also makes me want to put it straight back down because I know I could never be that good.

Johnny Marr's riffs are more challenging than the fastest speed metal solos.

gord i so need this on valentines day...will be up salford this week n all

[hanspeterpitsch]

I made a video of this riff :)

[IgorWarszawa]

I still cannot nail outro and it makes me miserable now

[frozenhardrive]

@eddieoneil well id like someone to make a video to show how to play that son but slowly because now adays they play it to fast or dont explain quite right.

[FSMnoodle]

That riff, if I cose my eyes it's '86 in my room and.......Oh man, take me home.

[TDogthe3rd]

It honestly makes me sad that I cant play like this. Legend.
