- 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.anyonecanpl...

Love this bloke. So unassuming, so generous with his skills and what a brilliant choice of songs to teach. He's an absolute gem.
John Jones Could not have said it better myself.
@@lamf04 or me - well said. A gem of a guitar instructor and can play a bit as well :-)
such an English sentence
Well said
nice, accurate and free of bullshit lesson. This song is really tricky to figure out alone when you are a clueless beginner. Hope to see more videos teaching smiths' songs. Thanks for this!
in my oppinion this is one of the best guitar teaching channels on UA-cam
One capo and two hours later and I've got this! Can't believe it! You RULE!!!!
the shirt goes really well with the song
Wonder what it would sound like played on a B C Rich with tons of distortion?!
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 :)
Agreed
thank you so much for the motivation! might sound silly but after i saw this comment i immediately started learning it😁😁😁
Beautifully played and brilliantly explained. Thank you so much.
Thanks Iain, pleased you enjoyed the video!
Really surprised with how fast I'm picking this up thanks to your lesson! I'm a beginner so this really helps.
I figured this one out note for note years ago. It was pain-staking but worth it to be able to play this amazing song. You absolutely nail the lesson here and have improved on a few passages for me. Thanks!
Thanks Charlie - glad you liked it.
I'd love the idea of you making a Chanel just for the smiths
Chanel No. 6 - Eau de Misery? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
I'd buy that perfume.
Fabulous ! Thanks so much for sharing ! You certainly know how to honor the legacy of Johnny Marr !
What a beautiful song, and complex in such a very musical way !
Thank-you for all the time and effort you put into your tutorials. You're an excellent teacher and a terrific player.
My goodness Adrian! You have such a perfect ear. You’re like a tape recorder (dating myself) and, dare I say, you often make the originals sound better. God bless your talent, and taste in tunes sir.
7 yrs later.. love your videos man ❤
You sir, are incredible. I love this - you play one of my favourite Smiths songs with a flawlessness that I can only aspire to.
Thank you.
What a wonderful piece of music. Keep the Smiths songs coming, please!
Thank you for this video man it’s hard to find smiths tutorials on UA-cam this accurate and well explained :)
Spent a rainy Saturday afternoon with your lesson. Thank you so much. I learned this by ear, from a newly opened LP on a horrible record player when it came out on Hatful. Beautiful piece. Transports me back.
You did an amazing job explaining this song. Hearing it, I thought it would be impossible to play, but the way you explained made it really simple and easy to understand. Thank you.
Been working in this for week and have the whole thing worked out - need to improve the speed but its there! Thnaks for such a fantastic tutorial, video and tabs. Absolutely brilliant - thanks for taking the time.
Great lesson... especially having the tab available it's helped me out of the parts of the song that have had me stuck. Can you please do a lesson for Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now?
Thanks for breaking this song down, it's very much appreciated. God bless you pal.
You are one of the best, thank you so much. Im more experienced with fingerpicking than most and this was perfect pace, clear and to the point, not too slow, not too fast. Learned this in one sitting! Thank you!
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.
Good advice, as I’m struggling with this especially the first section changing from the C to the F. I’m finding it hard controlling my little finger to get it closer to the strings, so I change really slowly
@@dlong_8657 Keep going, you'll get there.
I am realy happy I found all your acoustic lessons !!! Can not thank you enough :)
Really appreciate your hard work getting this lesson out there!
I've been wishing I could play this song for years. Now I can thanks to you!
Many thanks for sharing this interpretation. To my ears at least you have pretty much nailed the feel and spirit of the song and that is what matters and you showed me a chord voicing I had been missing. As a huge Marr/Smiths fan, I very much appreciate your efforts. Keep up the great work!
Wonderful! Love your Smiths lessons! I wish you'd do more of them
I was wondering if you can do a tutorial on their song “Well I Wonder” .
What a wonderful job. Clear, concise and very easy to follow. Excellent video.
This is a fantastic tutorial. Such a deceptively difficult guitar part to play. You have done a terrific job of breaking it down. Thank you.
If I close my eyes is like I am listening to Johnny...well done mate.
Yes! Well done. More Smiths, please.
Love the choice of the song with the Slayer T-shirt!
nice radiator and great lesson thanks
Beautifully done, I learnt this 20 years ago but without thumb pick, It seemed to get in the way when I used it. Might revisit this one again. Love your attention to detail.
Beautiful tune, Johnny Marr
thanks so much for this video. i’ve been picking up pieces of the song and am close to getting it all together. much appreciated.
Thanks Adrian. Another lovely composition from johnny Marr. Great playing.
Thank-you!
I love you for doing this, you beautiful man!
I love you too Andy!
Ha ha!
I'm glad you've done The Smiths again! Your transcription of "This charming man" was the first I knew from you, and the only transcription of that song that sounds right to me (as we talked about by email). And I love the guitar in "Back to the old house". Thanks!
This is a classy piece of work Adrian, many many thanks for sorting this out for me. I've been playing it wrong for years!
I love it!!! Thank you so much för the lession. Please, more The smiths songs!!!
Thanks Adrian, I just read the Johnny Marr biography, I stayed home sick today and took your guitar lessons.
Always wanted to learn this - thanks so much!
AND I think you could give lessons to to the original artists on how to (better) play their creations. What an ear(s) you have young man! Love, absolutey love your videos, just donated $100 and in support. Fellow Canucks (esp Alberta) pony up for this gentleman’s gifts, eh!
A YT channel by Adrian devoted to The Smiths gets my vote! Thank you for this lesson.
All your lessons are brilliant but I particularly enjoyed this. Thanks so much :-)
This is one of my fav songs hell yeah
Love it Adrian, you need more acoustic covers on your channel
The acoustic version of this reminds me of John Fahy. Maybe Sligo River Blues. Sort of. Thanks for the lesson.
Always find Smiths songs incredibly satisfying to play.
Superb lesson and the playing is beautiful.
Thanks Adrian, as always great lesson. Keep the Smiths tunes coming!
You are the best! Thank you for this lesson!
Beautiful!!!...one of my all time faves :)
Great stuff, Adrian. Beautiful D-28 as well.
Slayer T-Shirt, Smiths song. How can anyone not love Adrian!
I can play this song because of this great guitar lesson, thank you very
amazing lesson for a beautiful song.
Great song, great video and an amazing lesson. Thank you Adrian.
I love the smiths I was learning how to play this charming man and I found your channel been a subscriber ever since then I did learn how to play it thanks for that
Spot on again Adrian. Well done, thankyou.. I'm loving the Slayer shirt.
Wow, amazing lesson. I'd need three hands to play it! Great choice Adrian, been a favourite song for 30 years,
It's such a good song. Do-able if you take it slowly. I've only been playing it a couple of weeks. Not quite perfect yet, but it's getting there.
this is incredible; thank you very very much kindly british man
Beautiful! You must be the first to do this classic! Thank you :)
you play so clean
Great video. This song goes so well with the Slayer t-shirt 🤣🤣🤣

Love your covers . don't give it up
Wonderful tutorial. You're a great teacher and I'd love your Smiths only channel. :) Thanks for posting.
Great stuff, many thanks Adrian.
Here here to oblivious Adrian. Great guitar work in it. Know the chords but would love to learn that solo. No pressure. Btw your teaching style is first class, I have learnt so much from country to rockabilly. Keep it up my friend.
Wow! Beautiful
I used to have the louder than bombs tab book, a big thick manual that was virtually note-for-note accurate....so wish I still had it!
Me too. I lent my copy out to a friend and never saw it again 🙈
That really is amazing.
This is really good because it challenges me to do faster patterns but it’s so worth it once getting it down
Never woulda figured this out on my own. Thanks!
Fantastic as always! Thanks Adrian 😁
Cheers Jeremy.
Fantastic work. Thank you
Absolutely superb!
Wanted to learn this since it first came out! And you handle both the playing and the instruction beautifully! THANKS! (and subscribed!)
Best one I've seen. You're great!!!
This sounds really good
Another great lesson man!
Thank you! Bought your album, I'm about to check it out. 🤘
Love it hopefully you will do more fingerstyle tutorials thank you
Hi Adrian . I'm off work with for a while so I've taken this on ! Thankyou for making it do - able ! I'm half way through it and taking it slowly Johnnys melodies are from somewhere special.
I've mastered This Charming Man from your lesson too. I've learned a lot from you and Eric Haugen ... another superb teacher and musician , you two should team up : )
Fantastic lesson! It would be great if you could do more smiths'. I'd like to learn vicar in a tutu. This is one of theirs that doesn't appear to have a decent tutorial available as yet.
Keep up the good work.
Slayer and the Smiths ! Great taste 👍
amazing video mate keep it up
Stephen merchant double. lol great version pal.
Great job..you're a fantastic player
This is ace and thanks so much! Wish you or someone would please put a decent 'Jeane' video up! No good chords or tutorials anywhere online!
