Nowhere Fast - The Smiths (guitar cover)

Rickenbacker 330 plugged into a 1975 Fender Twin Reverb daisy chained to a Roland JC-120

[@Adam_Barrett]

Nowhere Super Fast! Outstanding playing man!

[@mrjelly5718]

Lol nice one. Nowhere super fast indeed.

[@PrincePurple]

Wow. Fantastic. I play guitar...but I never play Marr. I can't get nowhere near him. He's untouchable.

[@datsoon9236]

All I've been able to manage recently is Bigmouth Strikes Again and Heaven Knows I'm Miserable now 😂

These Knobs are bigger than my desire to die!!!! Pretty well done

some knobs are bigger than others

[@valeriolongo447]

@@serenitatis2191 fuckin genius 🤣

[@TheMisstwinkletoes]

So damn good.

[@jshphysicistatyahoo]

Okay, that performance made my jaw drop. Dang!

[@scottjpats]

Thank you, friend.

[@jonburrows2883]

I'm not saying that's fast but i was expecting to see Benny Hill chasing scantily clad women around a field

[@barjabulon]

Yes is too fast but really good right hand !

[@jshphysicistatyahoo]

@John Burrows- great point!! Yes, Marr's music here has that bland 1960's British television presence to it. And Benny Hill capitalized on the same corny music for his brand of humor.

[@scottjpats]

this is still my favorite comment on any of my videos

[@edmundblackaddercoc8522]

Lol

[@addictedtojet]

Yeah too fast forsure but not at all sloppy... kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGO8ZJqsfdaqY7M That's a sweeet RB!

[@miewmiuw]

you play brilliantly and the rickenbacker is gorgeous

[@pearcaravel]

great playing

[@matesajter7991]

This has been done perfectly, i am looking at this video for over 20 minutes now.

[@LiamDarden]

I honestly like it better being faster! really gives an energy to it.

[@steveagostino1865]

Some knobs are bigger than others. Johnny M would be proud.

[@piercelawless2654]

Stealing another comment, how original

[@RossWasTaken]

As if people are genuinely chatting shit about this I'd love to see their take on the song

[@brettwilliams657]

Just so incredibly good! A brilliant cover and so much heart.

[@jackelineloaiza8827]

Man, that was really awesome, one of the most awesome things I've heard in my short life. Thank you.

[@scottjpats]

Thank you!

[@leonbruder531]

wow that's so good, incredible

[@jasonvalecruz2048]

that is so damn good

[@christophertorres8141]

Yoo this is good af, to everyone saying it’s too fast this is a COVER and a damn good one at that I would love it if you posted the tabs of this thanks and cheers mate.

[@ClayAsbury122]

What Marr writes is witchcraft. Well done.

[@renardsubtil3455]

Fantastic !!

[@digdaver1]

Near perfect. Lovely sound, great playing.

[@jesusisai5927]

I love those relaxing sound before you take de Riff again 😍

[@Oldiesfan1958]

You are a gem!

[@leonardotube]

Amazing.

[@tim3198]

Amazing. Well done, but you don't need me to tell you that. By far the best guitar cover of the song on youtube.

[@scottjpats]

Dang! That means a lot! Thank you. I only uploaded it for an audition to a university but I was surprised to see the views take off the way that they did

[@thegamingalien5476]

There is a better one on KZbin

[@accadaccasuperstar]

fuckin mint cover mate

[@ClayAsbury122]

Spot on. I believe Marr was also using a Jazz Chorus at this time.

[@Grinfas]

Perfect setup!

[@eltonsantos3873]

Esta é a melhor versão que já vi de Nowhere fast. Parabéns.

[@thecolorwaves3372]

Came here to see what others were doing with the middle 8, ended up watching a ton of your OJ/Smiths vids. Amazing stuff, really. Not exact, but honestly better for it: you have your own thig going on. I hope you're writing, too!

[@lewangillard9701]

Great cover!

[@bpbrowning78]

Well done, sir. I envy you completely

[@fredkelly7894]

[@lexusuk7901]

Good work...hi from argentina....

[@tat3w]

Please do another cover of this with guitar only

[@user-nz1on2be5d]

[@nadysonnascimento3]

I believe it being fast the way it is, is amazing already don't bother trying to get the original vibe, this is your way of playing it and it is beautiful nice job

[@evahubot6489]

Rickenbacker⚡

[@scottjpats]

my only axe !

[@lucasvandenbrom856]

I’m gonna learn to play a Johnny Marr song , see you in six years.

[@MrCrackerQ]

TAB Please !!(( It differs from the original, but it sounds even more energetic

[@scottjpats]

Probably sounds energetic because I played with a stupid fast backing track that was free online

[@DJ-iq3bb]

👏👏

[@kotrachengesicht]

Nayyyz

[@wyascomeblank4580]

I'm trying to learn this now. Did you reference a video or sheet or did you learn this by ear? Impressive either way.

[@encapsulation]

Nice!!!

[@isagahan3867]

Excelente

[@ivanxd45]

Cool playing, nowhere fast played fast !

[@scottjpats]

Only way to do it I think

[@warren4003]

I’d like to drop my trousers to the queen........

[@scottlucas4380]

Dude, excellent. Do you have a compressor on there?

[@plasticbudgie]

What strings are you using, and also reckon it would be possible to make a tutorial ? as i've tried to make it sound this good but im struggling.

[@scottjpats]

I use .11 gauge Thomastik Infeld flatwound jazz strings I suppose I could do a tutorial!

[@plasticbudgie]

Awesome, i was rather impressed by the sound you have given us here, i'll look into those strings thank you for the reply, and if that's possible a tutorial would be incredibly appreciated by many of us im sure.

[@strygver]

@@scottjpats are you doing that tutorial?:)

[@scottjpats]

@@strygver Now that we're in quarantine and I have some downtime I suppose I could!

[@whitworth7361]

Jon Scott please do

[@Ct-rq8zy]

Why did you use the vibrato on the Roland jazz

[@scottjpats]

with a deep depth and low rate it has a jangling chorus-ish effect.

[@maxsiegmund2184]

please do a tutoriaaal!

[@kodi3881]

Not even Johnny Marr can play like Johnny Marr

[@hexenring6276]

What backing track did you use?

[@ismail-vw5rf]

I play smiths too mate. I meant thats the best smith song. Or not?

[@user-po5bi6jb9g]

I haven't a clue what chords he's playing

[@user-po5bi6jb9g]

I have since learned the full song, joust keep looking and where he plays on the neck and experiment

[@tat3w]

ciaran fay upload a cover of it please

[@sunepedersen8537]

Is this in standard tuning?

[@stevensherwood9674]

Sune Pedersen yeah

[@ismail-vw5rf]

Its just the song lads. You can play it on a trombon . Its jusy the song.

[@scottjpats]

@@scottjpats is that a band? you should listen to Girls. you'd like 'em

[@toraimanchester4658]

what on earth are those knobs saying

[@scottjpats]

I'm not sure what you're asking - but they're old knobs from a Hallicrafter short wave radio I got from my great grandfathers pile of things when he passed away

[@garbiello]

Or tab it please if you can

[@dhowellbassist]

Figure it out for your damn self...I hate to be a dick, but if you can't figure out what he's doing from watching the vid, then pick easier songs to learn. Use your ears. It's a lost art, partly thanks to youtube. Some patience is required.

[@TeleBlaster]

Swap the Rick for a Tele, slow it down a little, and you will nail it.

[@scottjpats]

I was just using a backing track online and it happened to be pretty fast compared to the studio recorded one. I think by almost 20 BPM!

[@thehomefront1905]

not the way Johny plays it

[@scottjpats]

boohoo

[@juanm8582]

Bit fast there wtf.

[@scottjpats]

If you see the little gear at the bottom of the page, you can reduce the speed (~; if not, there's an "x" at the top left of your search engine as well

[@threebedrooms1076]

go ‘n’ do ‘juan’.

[@coldacre]

geezus man, slow down! it ain't thrash metal.

[@scottjpats]

just playing to the backing track buddy

[@petersmit7650]

Too fast...slow down...

[@scottjpats]

maybe you should speed up
