There is a light that never goes out - The Smiths guitar tutorial

[@DotM68]

Great stuff. Well done for pronouncing Capo properly too.

[@GuitarGary.]

Ha ha thanks, glad you liked it. I have lots of others like this and more due this week. Thanks for commenting and supporting my channel 🙏🤓🎸

The outro of this song is simply marvellous.

[@patera124]

It's so simple and yet a bitch to play. Captures Marr in a nutshell.

Hey Gary! Outstanding job! Perfect background, beautiful guitars, great lights, amazing explanations. I would like to ask if you please can do some new videos just playing Smiths songs. I don't know if you sing, but anyway could be great if you play your guitar mixing it with the original song. Come on! Prepare a special play list to us. I'll play my bass guitar watching your videos.

[@GuitarGary.]

Thanks so much and maybe it’s an idea going forwards for separate play alongs 👍🤓🎸

[@ViralClipsPodcasts]

Nowhere fast please gary or hand that rocks the cradle (including how its played live) Your vids inspire me

The underlying chords, the smallest variation adds a "newness" It makes it a little more interesting.

[@GuitarGary.]

Agree with you, I sometimes pick different notes in the arpeggio part in this and other Smiths songs to add “newness”, and I think JM does it too. On here I try to get it as close as I can to the record because that’s what most people will judge it on, but fully agree with you it’s good to experiment with it. Thanks 🙏🤓🎸

Timeless.

More smiths 🙏🔥🔥

[@GuitarGary.]

Very soon…watch this space👍🤓🎸

[@Stinkycheeseman93]

Gary you did an excellent job with the lesson, but that arpeggio absolutely did me in! 😅 Absolutely no fault of yours, just can’t get my head around it

[@GuitarGary.]

Hiya thanks I promise you will get the arpeggio. Try just playing the melody on single strings, a lot of the first part is just an open 1st string whilst you play the Am chord. Play Am then alternate between hitting the open 1st string (E) and the 4th string (D) which you are fretting at the second fret from capo as part of the Am chord. It’s ok to catch the open A string with D2 - I think there’s three chimes of the open 1st string. Then staying on Am, pick the melody from the second string (B) which you’re already fretting at the first fret from the capo as part of the Am chord. Again alternate with the lower strings in the chord, D string and you can catch the open A string. Then hit B1 twice, again it’s all part of the Am chord, then take your finger off B1 and play it open, before playing G2 then open G string. All the notes are right there and you’re just picking them out whilst trying to keep the wider chord going to fill the sound out. Same principle with the second but. Good luck and let me know how you get on! 🤓🎸👍

[@GuitarGary.]

Ps just looking at it yes I can do this, bear with and I’ll do it over next month or so 🤓👍🎸

[@josemariaramirez6017]

Yea please. Reel Around is another of the hardest songs to play. Really difficult to understand how it goes

[@robertlewis9097]

yes - brilliant the version on Troy Tate tapes has a much clearer recording of the guitar ;)@@GuitarGary.

[@GuitarGary.]

@robertlewis9097 that’s my homework then! Leave it with me 👍🤓🎸
