Barbarism Begins At Home - The Smiths (guitar)

This was such a long cover that the audio/video kept getting out of sync.. I tried my best to make it somewhat tangible but it's not perfect by any stretch; though you get the point.
Rickenbacker 330 into 80's Roland JC-120 with one speaker output to my bass amp for stereo chorus.
Pedals: Mooer Ana-Echo/// Jekyll & Hyde ultimate overdrive
Treble middle and bass all around 3/10 (High output)
Reverb: 4/10

That tone is so nice

[@jackkeanethemusic]

That’s a ricke for ya they’re literally insane

[@ethanc1719]

And they cut through the mix so well

[@testplatform582]

Props to you, such high level and clean I can’t help also think how this and other melodies came from Johnny Marr. Such genius

[@flinchey6962]

God man that ricky tone sounds great, you sure you’re not Johnny great playing

[@scottjpats]

I wish I was. Glad I got to meet him pre-covid, super nice dude.

[@garydixon6315]

Marr once said he never wanted to be remembered as just a chord strummer and that's why he adopted his intricate arpeggios... Great job btw 😎

[@JesusDiaz-po1lr]

I am from Panama and since I was a child I like the smiths. Great Cover Bro🤘

[@greendragonchamp5422]

Great cover sounds amazing sounds very similar to the studio version and you make the guitar parts look very fun to play keep making covers 👍👌👌

[@nealejames2243]

Stunning, nailed it

[@hibernian797]

legendary stuff.

[@MrEvanTea]

Wicked playing, loving the guitar too

[@hyrulino]

Great one! 💓

[@fletchersletch]

It's a very nice touch that you followed the bass part, a variant of the repetitive riff at the end.

[@ChrisW444]

Brilliant, thank you

Sick cover, love ur nails!

[@tomassierra2735]

that toneeeee😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨💨

[@ElectricPhase]

Eggscelent!

[@joachimkaddah6040]

You play it just exactly like Johnny Marr, except he tunes F# instead of using a capo. I have seen two other tutorials on YT, but they play it a bit differently. I wish if you could share the tabs rhythmically, it is hard to follow from the video. :)

[@joachimkaddah6040]

@@owenandrewmusic I have seen some of his playing recently, but still he does not always it. For I tune the guitar almost every day to F#, and I don't it by ear. It is not that big of hassle. until now I did not breaks anything. The Smiths' songs do not contain any sort of bending.

[@Ct-rq8zy]

Your rickenbackers really beating up it look amazing could you do a cover of poor old soul by orange juice

[@scottjpats]

It's a difficult one to cover because they layer a few guitars without being clear about which one is lead focused but I'll give it a shot in the coming weeks.

[@Ct-rq8zy]

Jon Scott thanks mate

[@LegoDonut18]

Roland Jc120 Tunes Men

[@volemar]

Cant get if it sounds like surf rock cover or new romantic one with that tone ☺️

[@daciaduster2013]

Nice

[@mothqueen182]

ur so good! also where can i find the tabs

[@lucianofigueiredo4877]

Amei cara

[@johnnymarr6721]

Wow great cover, would you mind talking me through your tone for this ? (Also I’m not Johnny marr from the smiths, just have the same name 😂)

[@Luciano-jg5ws]

nice

[@conorlicklider1354]

oh my god

[@Starkman1992]

great cover man! did you just use the capo instead of tuning to f#?

[@scottjpats]

I did yeah. I used to tune my guitar to F# to do the smiths stuff but I would blow thru strings and need to constantly set up my guitar

[@Starkman1992]

Jon Scott good to know! And that’s why I was asking to be honest I just restringed my les Paul 😂 thank you very much for answering I fast!

[@scottjpats]

@@Starkman1992 I would say: Unless you plan on being in a smiths cover band or writing exclusively in F# it would be more to yer benefit to stay in standard and use a capo !

[@garydixon6315]

I hate tuning up and down .. fucks ur strings

[@bigcat369]

👍🎸

[@SaadetOZTRK]

this is amazing. thank you for sharing with us

[@sergio_slzar]

Johnny Marr is that you?

[@natethagod2426]

Where u get that strap from?

[@scottjpats]

A high-school teacher of mine back in the day gave it to me... Well we traded straps and said I could "Borrow this one indefinitely"

[@xxyjxx1031]

What pick do you use?

[@scottjpats]

anything I can find at this point but preferably medium picks

[@scottjpats]

it's a dunlop medium here

[@olliegriffdog8422]

Where’d u get that jacket from

[@scottjpats]

It's a corduroy shirt i got from a second hand store

[@denisdubrock7170]

Tabs?

[@scottjpats]

I don't even know the tabs mate

[@blueskiedanclear-1]

my guitar doesnt do that😔🔫

[@scottjpats]

Make it (~;

[@riverjunior3965]

I play this song completely differently and no capo. Weird
