By request of viewer ferrell! Just the intro, I'm afraid... and it's hard enough learning that. This is a really tough one. I've put in a "close up" at the end so you can see what's involved.

  • Beautiful!! Is this a hard guitar to play at first and then gets easier? I hear the neck is thinner than normal.'

  • Yes the thin neck can be quite cramped if you have fat fingers.

  • how does a rickenbacker with distortion sounds?

  • Listen to R.E.M.'s 'Green' album, I think a lot of that is Ric 360/12 with some overdrive. Or look on my previous videos for "Disturbance at the Heron House / The One I Love - REM".

  • All your Smiths stuff is great Daniel. I've been a huge Smiths fan for 23 years and never knew how Marr did what he did. I've viewed this clip at least 20 times and I just keep going back to it. I hope the Smiths "nation" finds your clips. Please post more songs! I also like hearing about the background of how you made the clips and learned the songs. If you are an example of a "younger" Smiths fan-base, then I pleased and amazed. Great work and thanks again.

  • @danielearwicker Have you heard "These Charming men" Daniel  a Smiths tribute band from Dublin

  • is this the most technicallty demanding Smiths song, certainly looks and sounds that way. The speed at which Johnny rips through the opening chords is crazy, its what 5 or 6 chords in the first 4 seconds?

  • Wow, amazing job!

  • i love ur guitar!

  • do you have to have a clamp for 6 strings? I don't have 1...Can I use anything else as a clamp?

  • The way you play it is really beautiful. Marr would be impressed.

  • lucky you dude.

  • they are 1300 on a music website called gak so ...

  • lucky bastard, hahaha give me one =(.

  • how much is this and what year was it made, looks beautiful and you play it well =]
