  • Johnny Marr does folk finger-style in this beautiful Smiths B-side. Only learned this one recently, and I think it would be a great addition to anyone's finger-style repertoire. Music/tab here: www.anyonecanplayguitar.co.uk/...

    For anyone who is nervous to try or may think that it’s too hard, the tune is deceiving you. It sounds difficult, but it’s really isn’t hard to play.
    This is probably a good song to start practicing your picking to :)

  • @chriss1492
    @chriss1492 3 роки тому +3

    I tried this piece some time back but was a bit too green with finger style to completely grasp it and became frustrated and put it down. Four years later after much guitar practice and working on finger style pieces (mainly blues) Ive come back to this gem of a piece and finding it much more manageable and I’m able to pick it up. Moral of story: It’s ok to put things down if you aren’t there yet, but come back to it after you build up your skills and revisit. I love Adrian’s lessons, and this one of my favorites.
