Mr Brightside In Standard Tuning - HACK 💪🔥

This is a GAME CHANGER if you want to play this riff in Standard Tuning! Recently I figured the riff out like this after watching the Killers Live and it has TOTALLY changed the way I play it. It's such an awkward riff and this makes it WAY easier! LINK TO TABS BELOW ⬇️

[@aidantod33]

Big Hug mate! You saved my life 😀

[@FretlixGuitar]

You are welcome 😃 It’s such an awesome hack, I just wish I figured it out 10 years ago!

[@LennieDean]

Oh heck yeah! We just added Mr B so this is right on time - thanks my friend!

[@FretlixGuitar]

You are welcome!

[@robertingle9845]

3rd chords lowest note could be the "open" capo'd d string instead of 10th fret a string. Slightly different string sound but same note and may be easier shape for some to play

[@FretlixGuitar]

Fantastic tip and that will definitely be easier for some people. Thanks for sharing :)

[@electricimagesaustralia6899]

agreed that is easier for sure thanks for the tip

[@fisterroboto1044]

Ok, that was a GOOD hack, thanks!!

[@FretlixGuitar]

Hi, I added it to my channel last week :) Here's the link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGLHlqxpi9Gsl8U

[@evolution20031]

It’s coming very soon. Should be this week :)

[@darycroft8787]

Suscribed !

[@FretlixGuitar]

Thank you!

[@lennyjay22GbgLALV]

Great video. It is a difficult riff no matter how long you have played guitar, that’s for sure. I was just wondering if you got the hack idea from the 2019 Glastonbury performance? The “Killers” guitar player on there playing with the capo is Johnny Marr from The Smiths. Either way it’s a great hack since it’s hard in the original way, and also this way it can be played in standard tuning ! Great job! The rest of the song would also be great 👍🏻

[@FretlixGuitar]

Thanks! It’s a really hard riff and I always dreaded seeing it on a setlist until I figured out the Capo version. I can’t remember which concert it was but I’m glad I saw it as this hack has meant I can actually enjoy playing this song on gigs now :) I’ll do a video for the rest of the song soon :)

[@edwardskim0111]

Great tutorial! But how could you not know that was Johnny Marr performing with The Killers...

[@darycroft8787]

The rest of the song please !!!!

[@FretlixGuitar]

Will do! It’ll be coming in the next month or so 👍🏻

[@merman1979]

fantastic did you do the whole song vid? I'd be super keen

[@FretlixGuitar]

Thanks! I’ve not made it yet but I will add it to my content list to make :)

[@merman1979]

@FretlixGuitar awesome, I look forward to it and thanks for putting in the time to help others.

[@tandnhodges]

HI - great tips but the link for the tab takes me to a panel which collects my email address and then tells me that the website is "nearly ready". How can I actually get the tab for this please?

[@FretlixGuitar]

Hi, I'm glad you like the tips. The website is down for maintenance and upgrades at the moment where I store the PDF's so sorry for the inconvenience. It will be up and running by mid next week so you can either try again then or email me directly [e-mail] and I'll send the PDF over to you! Thanks :)

[@davidgoslan5471]

How do i get the work book thanks

[@FretlixGuitar]

Hi, you can click the link in the description or follow the link here: fretlix.lpages.co/mr-brightside-standard-tuning-hack-lesson/

[@tonymarchi727]

That Killers guitarist was Johnny Marr

[@AudioVoxBand]

please the rest!

[@FretlixGuitar]

Coming soon 👍🏻

[@ianchappell2907]

Ah but the capo then gets in the way of playing the next section surely?

[@FretlixGuitar]

Hi, you can play the entire song with a Capo. I’ve been asked by quite a few people to make a video on this which I will do soon :)

[@MrDanielRadtke]

Hi @fretlix. absolutely love the lesson and signed up But the download lesson TAB where you show the difference between the capo from 5th to 4th fret seems to be the same apart from the first bar. Anyway, thank you again so much for this, my band just added this song and it will be a fantastic help!

[@FretlixGuitar]

Hi, I'm glad you liked the lesson and thanks for subscribing. Well spotted and thank you for letting me know about the TAB. I've updated the workbook now so it's correct. I'll be uploading the rest of the song this weekend. I'll show you all the chords needed and all of the original Guitar parts with a Capo so hopefully that will be useful when you play it with your band :)

[@MrDanielRadtke]

@FretlixGuitar I hope you know, that this was by no means to be a dig-message. I understood when following your video what you meant and just wanted to highlight it. Anyway, you are doing a fantastic job with all your work. Hope you are well. I camt wait for more content and will check out some of Your other videos and wisdom! All the best! Dan

[@FretlixGuitar]

Hi, I didn’t think that at all and I appreciate you letting me know :) Thanks for your nice words about the video. It’s a lot of work making the videos so it’s nice to hear that they are appreciated and helpful :)
