I might teach this to you today, I might not... but honestly What Difference Does It Make?
This was a request from a student in a private lesson a couple of weeks ago. I knew the first bit but never worked out the rest, and you know me... I like a challenge.
I tried my best to work out all the Johnny Jangles. Yet again another masterclass in riff writing and picking from Marr. The guy is a genius.
Enjoy my spin on things.

When I hear the smiths I hear sanity and good taste with an abundance of light humor truth and melancholy

@SpedSpedding Год назад

That’s the power they hold. All that from an A5 capo 2! 🤣✨

Can I get the Smiths with Morrissey edited out?

@jordantaylor4992 Год назад

Love to see smiths on the channel again! "Heaven knows I’m miserable now” tutorial would amazing or "you just haven’t earned it yet baby” thanks mate

@SpedSpedding Год назад

Great suggestion! Thanks for watching, glad you liked this!

@phant0mdummy Год назад

Every Marr riff is the definition of "Harder than it sounds". I can't tell you how many Smith's songs I sat down to learn, only to realize I'm trash or he's too good at writing catchy, complicated arpeggiated riffs.

@SpedSpedding Год назад

Hahaha I know this exact feeling. Even here with a riff based around a couple of power chords if you lose the bounce even for a second or duff one note it’s gone. Man is a genius.

@billybanter9573 Год назад

A lot of it is overdubs.

@secohen73 Год назад

You speak the truth, sir!

@phant0mdummy Год назад

@@billybanter9573 That is a reductive, and probably incorrect assessment of his writing skills. That and the difficulty of keeping one of his bouncy arpeggio/string skipping rhythms going for 4 minutes of a song without screwing up somehow.

@dominicwhite2203 Год назад

Great lesson, thanks. Solid deadpan schtick too. Best lessons I’ve seen on the RU-vid.

I love the way the 7th fret of your guitar look like the eye of Horus with the wood grain. Amazing tutorial Mr Shed! Thanks

@matttheknife3652 Год назад

Awesome track mate - with awesome lesson and an awesome shirt! What’s not to love?! Thank You!

@SpedSpedding Год назад

It is a nice shirt. Charity shop steal that. Walked in, it was on the manakin. Tore it off, straight to the till. “Iya, just this please love.”

@cohese Год назад

such cool riffs and rhythm ! - been trying to figure this one out forever, and never gotten past the first part, and turns out there's some subtle stuff I was missing - so helpful, thanks so much, really appreciate it !!! - ( beautiful tone here as well as always ..., truth be told sometimes - not this time - I just watch your videos to listen to your playing )

@SpedSpedding Год назад

My pleasure Joe! I’m a big fan of this song as well. Every section is fun to play. Really clever riff writing. 🙏🏻

@machinotaur Год назад

Middle pickup, mad respect. I like what you did for the chorus section, that's my favorite way that I've heard to play it. Subscribed for more Smiths content!

@SpedSpedding Год назад

Thanks for the sub! Will pass on my regards to the middle position.

@davidmugglebee523 Год назад

Thank you 🙏 Love the Smiths, agree that Johnny was a pioneer and genius, and yeah I’m here for your jokes too. I’ve been in drop D/C# tuning for a week blissfully enjoying No Q on my acoustic, but I look forward to learning my fave Smiths song. That opening riff has been all air guitar up til now. Makes all the difference. Thanks again!

@SpedSpedding Год назад

Awesome David! Thank you! Looks like I got you with a double whammy then. Two personal faves back to back. Will work on a hat trick. 😏

Hi, absolutely brilliant lesson!! 👏 this song really makes me think of how many more times by led zep. Thanks for the great lessons mate 👍

@topjimmy77 Год назад

Great lesson as always & great song, time for me to learn it all & not just the main riff. Johnny Marr is amazing and still putting out great albums. I saw some footage of him playing at Hyde Park recently on stage with Pearl Jam playing Neil Young’s ‘Throw Your Hatred Down’ & he was playing in a way you never normally see him play - tearing through pentatonic leads & yes, he does that really well too.

@SpedSpedding Год назад

Only 3 main parts to this and they're relatively short! Whack those double stops in at the end and I bet you're done in the time it takes you to watch the video!

@PAHVID Год назад

Nice! Can’t wait to work on some Smiths riffage this weekend.

Nice one Sped. Love The Smiths and Mr Marr.(almost as much as your channel) Another excellent tutorial covering all parts and nuances. Liked the fact you broke down the outro too. Your magnanimity surpasses all the other RU-vid channels for which we are all grateful.. Any chance of doing a tutorial on Alive and kicking by Lari Basilio ,plz I know your a fan if you can fit it in to yr busy schedule, go on you know you want to🤞🤞🤞🤞

@SpedSpedding Год назад

Oh my, Lari is outstanding. I actually have the same amp as her too. Reminds me; I wanna order her new album on vinyl.

@julianandrews6025 Год назад

Is it called Your Love?💜💜💜Love what Ive heard of her so far, Fearless, sunny days Shes touring Europe but either played UK already or just playing Spain ,Italy etc. Shes doing a guitar show in Norway next March (around my birthday hint) I heard you mention her playing on a podcast turn' that ₩¥$# down' and spent a while looking for Barry Vasilio lol. Appreciate the recommendations even if I initially misheard you

@malcolmhead2852 Год назад

Hey Sped nice lesson as usual I play this both ways The way it is on the record and also without the capo Interestingly whenever I play this in a band setting for a knockabout jam with people who don’t know what it is, they go nuts for it! Like a lot of Smiths stuff it can be very rocky and funky

@SpedSpedding Год назад

Yeah a lot of people have already said to me they haven’t heard it. Yeah I’m aware he tuned up a tone for a lot. This Charming Man as well right? We’d all be entering string snapping territory there though… 🤣🤣🤣
