For gear geeks...Nash T-63 Telecaster, Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue, Chorus, Reverb....lots of coffee.

I wish this was around in the 80s, smiths songs were the hardest to figure out how to play bc Marr used so many capos and open tunings so I was stuck learning on pink Floyd and zeppelin songs
She is absolutely stunning
Yours are some of the best Johnny Marr tutorials on the 'net. Thank you! Great work.
One of the best songs ever made
You explained it laymens terms! Thank you! Your instructionals make us all guitar stars! Huge Smiths fan from the early 80's here!
Awesome lesson - it seems that this song is much easier to play that i thought it was, thanks Allison. Nice sounding tele too!!
So pleased you're doing this again, I've learned songs I've always wanted to be able to play but never quite got until your lessons.
Amazing lesson, with a lot of little gems and preciuos advices
yesss glad youre back making lessons!:]
Allison, I have been a punk/metal player for the past 8 years and wanted to change. Your lessons are helping me so much change my entire sound and approach to guitar. Going from a riff intensive style to a more melodic and rhythmic approach is exactly what I get from all your lessons. It's a shame I don't play in a Smiths cover band now, as I am learning all your Smiths songs :-) Thank you. You are also beautiful!
Alison you are amazing. The Light That Never Goes Out. Thank you! I would never get anywhere on my guitar without your lessons. This from a guy who used to hang around the garage door at Rough Trade in Kings Cross in the mid-80's as a schoolboy, scrounging album promo posters from the warehouse guys. You're keeping all of our dream alive : )
Why can’t we have more content like this? Maybe we are not good enough. I remain thankful for what Allison has given to us.
Glad you're back. Thanks for making and sharing these (fantastic) lessons for free.
Very good Miss, thank you for this, years ago I never attempted smiths stuff as I couldn’t figure out how he got the tones, no you tube in my day, now with great lessons like this it’s a lot easier, one thing I’m noticing now I can play Johnny marr songs are the following -capos, jazz chords, syncopation (playing on up strokes) and playing on chord tones which are lifted by the capo, great stuff and opening my ears even more after 45 years of playing
Got to agree with you there, years ago I never attempted smiths stuff as I couldn’t figure out how he got the tones, no you tube in my day either, now with great lessons like this it’s a lot easier, one thing I’m noticing now I can play Johnny marr songs is the following -capos, jazz chords, syncopation (playing on up strokes) and playing on chord tones which are lifted by the capo, great stuff and opening my ears even more after 45 years of playing
Hey, thanks for putting this video up.. I love how you kept it simple but had all the details needed for someone to get it down... 1 hour and I had it perfect. Please so more vidoes
I was so glad to see you post another video. Never stop!
Great video and I love how you have a photo of Morrissey and Marr on your wall amongst photos of (presumably) your relatives.
Need more uploads!! It’s a CoVid home quarantine boredom emergency!!
I absolutely love the sound of your guitar.
I saw This Charming Band a few weeks ago when you played at the Ritz in San Jose. I had seen them previously but I knew you'd be back on the stage so I had to go. Thanks for the lessons - we appreciate the generosity!
How did I not see this for two whole weeks!?!
Glad you are back!
This is like in my top 5 favorite songs of all time! Thanks for a in depth lesson.
Very nice explanation about the strumming and chord change. Helped me to correct my 30 years-old mistakes in this song!!! Thanks for posting. Bye from Brazil!
So happy you're back making new videos!!
Your tutorals are spot on- brilliant.
Welcome back Allison and thank you so so so much for this lesson... we missed you... your tutorials are the best.
Allison, how can one thank you for this? Such a wonderful song and such great and precise lessons! Keep it up!

Yayyy! You're back! I know I will never learn to play these songs, but it's always relaxing to hear you play them.
YES! You're back
Thanks for sharing this Allison... excellent !!
Hey! So nice to see you Allison. And with a Tele! Happy Easter.
great to see you're back & uploading Alison :)
Your replication of Johnny Marr's playing is exquisite. I like your hair better without bangs. Cheers from a fellow northern Californian.
Thanks for coming back!

Exceptional video - wonderful how this is broken down so clearly thanks
Beautiful song, beautiful guitar and beautiful lady!!!
Amazing, always, Allison!
Love the Gretsch in the back there!
Fantastic lesson Allison....well all your lessons have been awesome!
I will confess that I was not a big fan of the Smiths when they came out (long before you were born! lol), primarily because of Morrisey's singing style didn't resonate with me, but also because of the terribly muddy sound of the original album mixes. It was difficult to hear all the parts & really dig into the music. so it was more about Morrisey than anything else.
Nevertheless, over the years, I have grown to be a huge fan of Johnny Marr, closely followed his post-Smiths work, & I have recently picked up the guitar for the first time in a looong time, with the intention to play Smiths material & other stuff. To that end, your lessons re: Smiths tunes have been most valuable, as they easy to follow, properly paced, & they help me appreciate Marr's arrangments & playing even more.! And when you have had to combine parts because you're the only guitarist in the band, you have maintained the essence of the individual parts while coming up with something that mere mortals can play , which is not an easy thing to do! Ok...I had better get back to my Ric, JM Jag, Fender Blackface, and start making use of your great lessons. Thanks again Allison! :)
Love the quality of the videos, keep it up!! Really helpful.
I'm in love. Amazing!
Your tutorials are the best.
Congratulations, so well done😊😊😊😊
wow what a fabulous lesson, easily the best lesson for this song on youtube! It shows that you play in a The Smiths cover band! Thanks, I love these chord progressions and rhythms, sublime ear candy! 😀👍

So glad you're back! Can you do a lesson for "Ask?" You're awesome. Thanks for all the videos!
Thank you so much! You are amazing
Nice video, nice execution, thank you.
However, I find it very curious that there is a need to indicate in such detail the position of the fingers, on which strings and on which frets they should be placed. These are indications for those who are really novices with the instrument; but if they are at this point, not to recognize by sight and take the main positions, they are not even able to play this guitar part… 🙂
Excellent! Thankyou.
thanks for another awesome lesson.
Thank you...spread the word.
thank you so much. great lesson, easy to understand.
