The boy with the thorn in his side - The Smiths - Guitar lesson / tutorial

Had a request for this and found there was very little out there in the way of help. Hope this works for you guys!!!
Thanks for watching. If you appreciate what i do. Please click on an AD every now and then. I know its a pain and it'll never make me rich but it may make me enough coppers to buy better equipment. Which, in turn, will hopefully improve the quality of the videos that i can produce for you guys. Thanks again. Stevoguitar

Thank you so much!!

[@kennethguitarfiend4493]

Fantastic lesson thx . Trying it with an acoustic...

[@StevoGuitar]

Thanks Ken, I've not tried that so will do so myself too.......

[@davidsutherland2572]

And the chord at 2:09 I'm sure he does root position d major triad on g, b & e 7 g 7 b 5 e

[@WillieD7]

Strat Plus? A friend has one of those. Underrated guitar (even if I don’t love the Lace Sensors).

[@StevoGuitar]

Well spotted willie, its a 93 or 94 and was set up perfect when i got it. Problem was that i had to fiddle with it and now it doesn't sound quite as good!!!😝

[@WillieD7]

I’ve done the same with my guitar! Everyone says it’s easy to do your own setups but...
Btw, great lesson and I’ve watched a bunch of of your Jam lessons and they were also very helpful!

[@user-tc2ng4zm4c]

Yep my hands cramping up.

[@StevoGuitar]

😋

[@LifeAtHighAltitude]

Fantastic , guess I'll stick with playing drums

[@StevoGuitar]

😂👍😅

[@bradhileman3313]

Great lesson, thanks for posting! What effects and settings are you using?

[@StevoGuitar]

Thanks Brad. I used: comp - lev 1/2- sus 3/4- att low chorus - speed 1/4 - depth 1/2. I had some delay and some reverb on the amp but unfortunately dont know the settings sry...Just enough for the chords to ring a bit longer.

[@davidsutherland2572]

Instead of going to dsus2 in the intro I think Johnny goes to 2nd inversion c major triad being open g open e fret one of b with the first finger

[@StevoGuitar]

Now that IS a lot hard to play. but .....Not too much difference in sound imho

[@davidsutherland2572]

@@StevoGuitar yeah man it just appeared to me that's what he was doing on the music video I could be wrong lol but got the same as the other stuff you have anyway good job man

[@paulfitzpatrick954]

Hi Stevo. Great lesson. When ye play high up the neck i can follow the chords but its that little end bit after the slide im having problems with. Can ye help? Cheers, Fitz

[@StevoGuitar]

Paul,Thank you. I'm going to have to get back to you on that as its literally years since i've played that and hate watching my own videos back....😆

[@eugeneobrien1385]

Great. Could you do a tutorial on ‘Wonderful Woman’ by The Smith’s?

[@t_mars2830]

Eugene O'Brien This 🤞

[@StevoGuitar]

Hi eugene. Just done wonderful woman. Great shout, hope u like it!!

[@DRNEGOLICIS]

Trying to find this on mandolin. Or figure it out my self.

[@davidsutherland2572]

Is that how the chords are played on the 12 gauge man (12 string) as I have something different for the electric

[@StevoGuitar]

There seems to be be very little footage of them playing this live. Johnny tends to play a sort of single note solo for the intro then the second part as the verse. The 12 string that i have heard of but not seen would basically play part 3 as rhythm guitar i would assume. With johnny coming in on that Am7 + pinkie with the elec guitar. Anyway this is just a way of playing it but you do really need 2 guitars. Doesn't sound so full with just one.

[@andrew-xr1de]

That was great! Thank you!

[@StevoGuitar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jordantaylor4992]

Is delay used ?
