Suffer Little Children is beautiful to play and I believe is more melancholic than Last Night I... Last Night... feels like it needs the full band or at least the chords also to make the riff stand out more. Whereas Suffer can stand on it's own more as just the riff.

Anyone Can Play Guitar, Sparky Guitar and Headless Guitar Player all have excellent lessons on The Smiths as well. I've been plundering youtube for a year and a half now. Also Marr himself has short clips on here and his Instagram where he will play through certain songs, no tab of course. Growing up in the nineties I had no idea what he was doing! There are numerous other channels that have Smiths covers and tab some hits and misses but the three above are consistently excellent. I do a clip of Nowhere Fast that I learned from watching Marr on my channel it's not a lesson though.Also Sped Spedding and Romain CNC have some good stuff as well. So once these guys all die and this channel of course I will be ready to start my Marr channel in earnest! hah.

This record came out when I was in my first year in university. There was a woman in my dorm I had a huge crush on…I made a move on her and she shut it down right away, which was fine, and we stayed friends. Anyway, she had a breakdown of some sort and had to go home (for good it turned out), and this song was the soundtrack to that for me…

I've never looked at Smiths guitar parts as being either riffs or chord progressions. With only 3 instrumentalists in the band for most of it's existence, Johnny created incredibly rich guitar parts that in a live setting served multiple sonic purposes without requiring any backing tracks.

It is easy to dream and it is relatively easy to know what you want, but sometimes holding on to a desire is harmful because it pushes you to go down paths that are not going to help you achieve something good. In any case, you may not even get what you want, you will just destroy yourself pursuing an impossible desire. Sometimes we just have to appreciate what we have and good things will come later on their own.

Of course it’s an excellent song and riff is pretty on the nose(as sad songs/riffs go). To me, the jangly yet maudlin riff he plays on “Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want” induces way more feels in me. The mix of something fleeting and hopeful knowing it’s never going to happen is always the saddest thing to me.

@bernoulli1
@bernoulli1 10 месяцев назад
The reason why it sounds so melancholy is due to the minor plagal cadence. E minor and G major are essentially the same key. The IV chord is C major and when it moves to C minor and back to home base, which in this case is E minor you have a minor plagal cadence. The IV chord going to a minor iv chord and then resolving to the key center is always melancholy and perhaps the most beautiful of the cadences.

"This night has opened my eyes" is the saddest Smith's song for me 😢 and "Hatful of hollow" their best record... 'Save your life cos you've only got one ...'

For me, the most emotional guitar riff is "Un Millón de Años Luz" by Soda Stereo. Please check it out if you don't know it.

The lyrics are everything Last night I dreamt That somebody loved me No hope, no harm Just another false alarm Poetry. Marr is nothing without Morrissey. Marr proved that when he left the Smiths, he has done nothing of value since.
@RiffsRhythm
@RiffsRhythm 11 месяцев назад
I disagree, Marr has done so much good stuff since leaving the smiths. He is a hard worker and a great artist/musician:guitar player. The Smiths wouldn’t be the same without each other. Each musician has something to bring to the table. This is what makes music subjective and everyone feels different. Thanks for sharing

May i suggest “Low”s cover of this song. It’s even more depressing, slower and it has strings.

Johnny wrote some very complicated stuff in the smiths, now he kinds of phones it in tbh and anyone could play it
