Let's Listen Together THE SMITHS - This Charming Man 

YES! Thank you!

@@TomoFujitaMusicthanks for checking the band out! I’m a big fan of you and the smiths. Cool to see you listen to them :)

So good!

Spot on!

@@TomoFujitaMusicglad you like, Tomo!!!

AGREED

Well said! Thank you for sharing!

Without a little experiences learning by ear... it's a little hard to know this song. But think about it. They wrote this song so there are a few songs that influence these musicians. Always go back a few steps so you can go forward. When you stuck, simple! You need to go back! Yes!

@@TomoFujitaMusic I need to remember this more in life - not just guitar. 🙇🏻

@@Auxend music is always the best philosophy.

Marr was inspired by west afican highlife music (ghana), most old tunes in ghana were played a half-step sharper...

@@kaykay9959 not true. There are parallels in style by its accidental. Has said as much in multiple interviews. He played up to better pair with Morrissey voice as well as have his parts stand out better

Thank you for sharing!

Great to hear that! Should be simple so you can use them everyday! Music is fun, guitar is fun! Good hard work is good! Thank you so much!

Well said! Thank you for sharing! Thank you so much!

Yea I got obsessed with learning this song after watching Marr play it in a short video. Very fun song

@@DaBears08 I made the mistake of learning it note for note then watching Johnny Marr play it completely differently. Are ALL the tabs wrong in the world! 😂

Thank you so much! So great to hear that,

Thank you so much! Thank you for sharing! I used to think I should do something popular because of more views. I am into more education so I would like to pick good songs! I thought this video was just okay but I really surprised with many great comments (more passion about this music) Thank you!

More to come! Thank you so much!

Awesome! Thank you! Glad you liked it. This way we listen it together and figure it out on the spot!

Thank you so much! Great fun way to learn!

You're very kind! Thank you so much!

So happy to hear that!

That would be so amazing!

Glad it was helpful! So happy to hear that. I made this in early April. I was not sure whether good video or not? Because I just made it without any preparation. But it's so real! Yes, overall key and vibe first!

Thank you!

Learn basic theory & Ear Training so just like this, you can learn any songs without tabs!

You're very welcome! So refreshing to hear a great original music because I have to listen it very carefully while i am enjoying. This type video is very easy because this is exactly what I do. Learn a song that inspired my student & I will figure out what to fill in between.... Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for sharing! So awesome! Thank you so much!

All connected! Chord Tone! Triads! Rose Room solo really cleaned up John Mayer's picking technique. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-suTu-l9_viY.html

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you!

The other version from Hatful Of Hollow the guitar is tuned ever so slightly sharper than A=440.

My pleasure! So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!

Thanks for listening! So happy to hear that! This how I teach any song!

You're very welcome! We are humans so no perfection! Fun making mistakes and hard time! All good! Thank you!

So happy to hear that. This is like ... just like any private lessons! Listen together and figure it out! Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing! Great song!

SO happy to hear that! Yes, so lovely! Thanks for sharing. I wrote all down.

great suggestions Stephen!!

Yes sir! Thank you so much! My pleasure!

I am so happy to hear that!

@TomoFujitaMusic thank you for what you do and how you teach sir love this channel and the looks you give us into your guitar knowledge

Glad you enjoyed it! Basically I just pressed "ON" and did it!

You're very welcome! Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing!

You're very welcome! You can always find the source of this music! Without parents... no new born! Thank you so much!

My pleasure! So happy to hear that! Thank you!

Awesome!

Thank you for sharing! So awesome!

Thank you for sharing! Awesome!

No, he isn't underrated. He's mentioned in countless guitar books.

lmaol Noel is a funny gentleman

@@spartan.falbion2761areed, no one uses “underrated” correctly. JM is literally a guitar hero and every guitarist worth his salt knows his music. 🤷🏼‍♂️

​@Schaz42 I would say Marr is a guitarists guitarist rather then a mass appeal guitar hero. He's a hero to guitar players, the masses however would underrate how brilliant he is.

Yes! So happy to hear that! Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

You're very welcome! So happy to hear that! It's all about Ear Training & basic theory knowledge with intervals (degrees/Colors) Thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing! Great to hear that!

You bet! Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing! So awesome!

So amazing! Thank you!

Thank you so much! I am so fortunate!

So great to hear that! Yes. Fun too!

Thank you so much!

My pleasure! Thank you!

Thank you! Originally I was not going to post this video. I thought my teaching was okay. I just made it without any preparation. Thank you for sharing!

@@TomoFujitaMusic so glad you did post the video, love your style of teaching and your positiveness 👍

You're very welcome! I used to use my 4 tracks with tape speed for song like this. Thanks for sharing.

@@TomoFujitaMusic It's fun to reminisce about the things that helped make us well rounded musicians. I often wonder what skill level I would have reached if all those small challenges had not been placed before me. I believe that they made me a better musician.

Great! Thank you!

My pleasure! Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing! So amazing!

The bassist is also phenomenal, R.I.P. Andy Rourke 🕊️💐

Thanks for sharing! Yes someone said it.

You're very welcome! Thank you!

Thank you so much! glad you enjoyed it! Very unique!

Thanks so much! Detuned tuning was a little hard to hear everything. It's all about harmony & melody. Triads!

Glad you liked it!! Thank you!

You're very welcome! Thank you for sharing! Awesome!

Thank you!

Thanks for noticing! Thank you!

Yes! Big thanks to my student Cassidy!

So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much! You're very welcome!

Thank you so much! Did you watch my Sugaree lesson? I never copied any Jerry Garcia 's solo... but there are many times people asked same "Your solo reminds me Jerry Garcia" I play major scale, triads & pentatonic so it's so similar. Mixing ideas over the chord progressions. Yes, it's so important to know basic music theory & chords. TRIADS! I teach more details at my Guitar Wisdom.

@@TomoFujitaMusic I did watch your Sugaree video, and I will go back to it. At the time, I didn't really understand it. I just didn't know enough then. Interestingly, in this video I understood your triads up the neck because that's what I've been working on in Sugaree. And your comment on hearing open strings is something I've been thinking about. When should you mute an open string at the 12th Fret, say, if it's part of the triad. What makes your analysis of Sugaree especially interesting to me is that both Garcia and John Mayer play it and both have evolved in the way they play it. John said in a video that when he was learning the Dead songs, he'd be practicing, going down one line of thought, and get completely lost. I'd be interested on your take on why even he got lost. Be a great video. And whether you've noticed anything like that in your students. Garcia said that when he got stale, he'd buy a book and work through it. It feels to me that even seeing one small detail can make big changes. I think that has to be why interval hunting is so important. For example. In Sugaree, F# is the V in B Mixolydian, but it's minor. The only other minor is C#, the ii. There are two chromatic runs. From E to F#, the run is E, F, F#, which means you can start on the Root of the D-shaped E chord on the second string and change to the minor shape on reaching the F#. This seems to be something important. Why is F# minor and what is the relationship between the whole step change from major to minor in B Mixolydian? Essentially I'm trying to reverse engineer it, because it sounds really nice, even though Garcia plays it on a different string set. As you can see, I'm not a structured learner. But there's so much to learn. Your Dream 65 video was fantastic and got me to finally explore the Dream. Last night, using the Two Rock extra cab, a Silver Sky, and help from RU-vid, I got something very close to the Jerry tone. Yet there are still compressor understanding issues. Both exhilarating and frustrating. Then I say Don't Worry, Don't Expect Too Fast 🙂

Thank you! If you don't understand it then you need more foundation before songs! Easy to fill in. Please join my Guitar Wisdom. Check Music Theory & Foundation section then you will understand things.

John often asks me more about the triads!

@@TomoFujitaMusic Still learning. Even with a great teacher. My favorite story about that is Pablo Casals, who still practiced his cello in his 90s. Asked why, he said he thought he was getting better. I find the difference between Garcia and John interesting. Jerry said right away he understood what he was doing. John, in one interview on RU-vid, underplayed his knowledge of theory. He more or less said that he didn't have a lot of what cognitive scientists call declarative knowledge - he couldn't always name things like modes - but he felt like they were in his fingers. Procedural knowledge. Yet John is now playing the same music. I was struck by your own story about your teacher in Japan, who could play jazz, but didn't "know" how or why it worked. And your own experience, which led you to believe that focusing on jazz is the road to understanding. Hearing that, I looked up extensions, my next project. But more for Hendrix, than to play jazz itself. Garcia was asked about his favorite musicians. He mentioned Django and Charlie Christian. I love jazz history and I learned two things. Jerry couldn't figure out how Django played some of his stuff, thinking it was impossible. Then he realized that Django could probably cross his fingers on his injured left hand in ways others can't. He also said that Christian was the first guitar player to play the guitar like a horn. Like Loius Armstrong. Still thinking about that. I wonder if anyone has played Potato Head Blues on guitar with Armstrong's stop-time chorus. Maybe I'll give it a shot. Jerry said that horn players - I played the trumpet myself, but never knew this, because I never improvised - practiced arpeggios, because they can only play one note at a time. And while I learned recently the valves have a pattern, the intervals have to be in your ear or motor memory, not a pattern on the fretboard you can see. Since I read, I never even thought about it.

Glad you enjoyed it! So happy to hear that!

So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!

Great to hear that! Thank you!

Thank you so much! Learn simple music first!

Thank you so much!

@@TomoFujitaMusic noo thank you!!

Thank you for sharing! Sometimes not knowing that... can crate something new! I love both approaches. Use right approach & use other approach.

So happy to hear that! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing!

Glad you liked it! You're very welcome!

Yes! Thank you!

I just jump in! So whatever takes... Fun learning songs in general. I thought it's funny that nothing to do with this song!

Thank you! That's so possible! Actually I made one more video with Tom Misch song.

Thank you for sharing!

So Great to hear that. Actually this is the most easiest way to make my RU-vid video! Just a long & I listen then talk! Thank you so much!

So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!

You're welcome! Yes. Ear training & learning a song!

You're very welcome! So happy to hear that!

Thanks!

Thank you for sharing. Triads are so powerful!

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you! Yes!

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much! Thank you for sharing!

In this case, the guitar was tuned to F# - he did that to be able to utilize the open strings and get more 'jangle', and also to accommodate Morrissey's voice.

Yes! He is so awesome!

Thank you!

Thank you for sharing! Awesome tasty guitar player!

@@TomoFujitaMusic Absolutely! Probably my favorite from the 80s!

You're very welcome!

Yes! Indeed!

Thank you for sharing! Thank you so much!
