Thanks for checking it out! About the capo, check the video of the spanish concerts. He had two guitars, one tuned up 1.5 steps-no capos to be seen on "William" or anything else (though he did have someone tune one guitar to an open chord for "Headmaster Ritual". I think he wrote most of his songs open then tuned up to accommodate the vocal.

Hey, that's really excellent!! What Yamaha guitar is that, btw?

[elylester]

Thanks for watching. The guitar was a gift from my father-it's a 30 year old Taiwanese Yamaha FG-340.

Thanks again, Dad!

what are the chords you use? (in order)

[elylester]

Chords sans capo: Verse: Fadd9 CM7  Em7 Am7 (3x) Fadd9 FM7 C Em7 FM7 G6 Gsus4 AM7 A7 Am7 CM7 D6add9 (2x) Bridge: Fsus4 F Gsus4 G F G Chorus: F C F G Am Am(maj7) F C F G Am Am(maj7) Am7 D9

Wanted to add: The chords above are 1 whole step lower than the recording-it was likely composed this way. Use a capo to play in tune with the record (In other words the capo makes the first chord, Fadd9 become a Gadd9, etc.).

Wow. Just incredible. How on earth Marr came up with that song is beyond me! If I could give you 6 STARS I would... but 5 will just have to do.

Great piece of work! I love this song! Never heard THIS part alone! Johnny Marr was a genius at that times...

[0248959]

beautiful song. Johnny Marr rocks!

The look on your face as you try to replicate speaks volumes about the talent that is Johnny Marr.

JM said NO on twitter !

[sippyjuice]

dude 11,00 views? Seems everyone wants to know what the hell Marr was doing.

[dreamforfreedom]

Damn about time somebody had the rhythm right...but he really plays with the capo at 7! Good job man..thanks for this!

nevermind, think I figured it out.. :)

Hey - I'm trying to learn your very very awesome version here, but I'm stuck at the third chord - you've put it down as an Em7, I can see you've got a bar chord on the 7th (9th) fret, but then I'm lost and it won't sound right. 'elp, 'elp please :)

Nice guitar!
