Wanted to say thanks Woody for uploading this. Been trying to learn it for ages and having a proper 'band' timing to stick to is really a help. Much appreciated.
I love this, but the count in is so wrong. It should be: one-two-three-four-one, but now you have to skip the first beat of the first bar, which is a bit annoying :P
the original is A but 1/4 step higher. it's something you can get on the computer, you don't tune the guitar differently. you record the instrumental track normally in the key of A with a standard tuning then modify the pitch on +50 which means half of half a step (1/4 step) higher. many many artists do this, if A is not high enough and A# is too high you do this "trick".
the original isn't even half way between. They did it for a reason though I think. it was to do with when you are listening to the full album this one should stand out from the rest with it being "out of tune"
@@aazo5 No it was not originally on an album. It was a single only. It was added to The Smiths album on a 90's re issue. I bought The Smiths album when it was released and it was NOT, and I repeat NOT on the original The Smiths album.
@@aazo5 I bought the album at the time of release and I still own it. This Charming Man is not on it. The album originally had 10 tracks on it. As I have stated This Charming Man was added later. At the time of release This Charming Man was a stand alone single.
I made it using stems I found of the original track and pitch shifting them :) As I answered to a previous comment: I found a studio version of the bass and drums isolated and an acapella vocal part, I synced the two audio files and pitch shifted the whole bounce up by 0.6 cents in order to put the track in standard tuning. As when the recorded the track they had their guitars quite flat. Enjoy!
Hey - I found the studio version of the drums and bass together and found a version of the vocal part on it's own and put them together then tuned pitch shifted the whole thing up by about 0.6 cents (in the studio they are tuned somewhere between D# and E they probably just tuned to each other, so I just used my ear as reference :) ) You're welcome! Do a cover video :)
