The Smiths - This Charming Man [TABS] bass cover

[@spaceengineer1452]

Rourke what a bloody genius. Well done. Don't believe Moz said Mike & Andy were "Lucky" to be in The Smiths. They were crucial !

[@florainbass]

Thank you for watching.

Andy Rourke was an asset however not Joyce he was expendable

Get over the 5 string shite he's just tabbed the song brilliantly and showed you how to play it. Exceptional 👌

[@oxouk]

Nothing like complaining about a free lesson right?

[@macdonaldstable420]

whats wrong with a five string??

[@collinwood6573]

@@macdonaldstable420 there’s nothing wrong with a 5 string, it’s just that this song doesn’t require one. But since it was played on a 5 string, they decided to add that string to the tabs (and just not have any notes on that line), which is what people were complaining about.

[@andyk1113]

This is the only charming man on the entire internet that I’ve seen played in the correct key 👍🏼 everyone plays it in A. It’s actually in g#

[@florainbass]

Thank you very much for your comment.🙂

[@k3llyk576]

Eh what no when these tabs are played as a band the bass sounds like shit trust me

[@arthurbrown7501]

Marr revealed to Mojo in 2008 that the success of Rough Trade label mates, Aztec Camera, spurred him on to write this: "A couple of days before I wrote 'This Charming Man' I'd heard 'Walk Out To Winter' by Aztec Camera on BBC Radio 1, and I felt a little jealous. My competitive urges kicked in. I felt that we needed something up-beat and in a major key for Rough Trade to get behind. That's why I wrote it in the key of G, which to this day I rarely do. I knew that 'This Charming Man' would be our next single." Marr continued: "I did the whole thing in one go into this TEAC 3-track tape recorder that I used to write on. I came up with the basic chords and immediately overdubbed the top line and intro riff."

[@manuam98]

@@k3llyk576 Probably because the rest of the band play it on a key different to the original

[@frasermcallister6058]

There are two versions of the song - the Hatful of Hollow version (without the solo guitar intro) is indeed in A. It's also quite a different bass line with regards to rhythm and feel especially in the verse. Worth checking and comparing both versions.

[@Almagest77]

I’ve been meaning to learn this song for so long and you’ve provided such a clear and practical tab here. Thank you so much for the share!!!

You're very welcome!

[@carbnebula5338]

5 strings tabbing completely throws me off :(

[@ingloriousbastard0812]

Absolutely wrong!! :( Andy Rourke uses the F# tuning and in some times your tabs put the open E

[@atheistsrule]

If you'd bothered to have a look you would have noticed that there are no notes tabbed on the fifth string!

[@fernandor4617]

in the quarantine i started to learn how to play bass and your video helped me a lot. I was able to slow down the viewing speed on youtube and practice more slowly. My bass has only 4 strings, so I took the tablature that you linked in the video description and worked just fine for me. This song is really fun to play. I'm going to look for other Andy Rourke songs on your channel when I get to play this one at normal speed haha. Thank you!

It's very depressing when you look at your 4 string bass and see a 5 string bass tab :,(

[@ajm8465]

caesargeezer it’s very self explanatory how someone would be confused on the top string on the tab not being *their* top string

God dam 5 string basses. If the original is played on a 4 string then do the tab on a 4 string.
