What’s your favourite riffs from Johnny Marr / The Smiths?

[@ottercheetah]

The Headmaster ritual 🖐️

[@svinozavrrex6931]

Some girls are bigger than others

That joke isn't funny anymore

Some girls are bigger than others

[@andresvalladares4356]

Barbarism Begins At Home and This Night Has Open My Eyes

[@AntonyStrus]

Johnny Marr is a brilliant guitarist, and you played those parts amazingly! But never forget the GENIUS bass playing of Andy Rourke that brought out those riffs.

[@allancerf9038]

Yep. That's what Marr said in an extended interview with two British journalists last year. I just saw it last week; you might want to hunt it down.

[@ayo509]

do you know the name @@allancerf9038

[@KeenanB2003]

I’ve just learnt barbarism begins at home. What a brilliant bass line

[@telex9869]

andy is one of the best bassists of all time. rip to a goat

[@davidpetty2315]

Headmaster ritual is a classic...

[@sickenzzzzz]

0:00 This Charming Man 0:49 How Soon Is Now? 1:40 What Difference Does It Make? 2:33 There Is A Light That Never Goes Out 3:36 Bigmouth Strikes Again 4:07 Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now 5:19 The Headmaster Ritual 7:13 Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before 8:12 Hand In Glove

[@Shwarmageddon]

So glad the headmaster ritual made the list. Such a great riff. You nailed it

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

Thanks man! I need to do a cover of it soon!

[@vitorschmitt3646]

Charming man has one the coolest guitar lines I've ever seen, it's so well constructed and catchy. Great performance mate btw.

[@garrettstupperware3754]

Dude was like 18 or 19 when he wrote these songs. So ridiculous.

[@starrsparkle-wz7qd]

@@garrettstupperware3754WHO HURT HIM💀💀

[@brandonjohnson4283]

Fantastic playing. What I loved about The Smiths is that they didn’t sound like anything else we were hearing at the time. Outside of a bit of rockabilly, it was hard to tell where Marr’s influences even came from.

[@allancerf9038]

In an interview of over an hour I saw last week with two British journalists he mentions Chet Atkins, and especially Pete Townshend.

[@albertmurillo7522]

The sad thing is that performers like Taylor Swift, Justin Beiber and Hannah Montana with be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and not The Smiths

[@Fanga2a]

Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others and That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore deserved a spot in this list! They're probably my favourites with The Headmaster Ritual But still a great list, Johnny Marr is definitely one of the greats and your playing is killer as always 🔥

[@jones848]

Some Girls is the best imo

[@noahh7866]

@@jones848100% agree

[@takemebacktothen]

There are many tracks and actual different guitars with different tunings on the studio version, like the Rickenbacker with nashville tuning and stuff. It's hard to get the riffs to sound close. You did a great job!

[@matthewjones8865]

The Smiths had the most beautiful guitar riffs ever. Johnny Marr does such a brilliant job playing them 🎸👏

[@lincolndickison4905]

Morrissey’s lyrics and persona were understandably the focal point a lot, but Marr and especially the rhythm section deserve far more credit. Listened to any Morrissey records lately? Yeah, me either. Marr is his own genre.

[@furbees2662]

Absolutely the smiths members are nothing without each other

[@stevenhartlaub4557]

Fair enough. However, Viva Hate and Vauxhall and I are great releases by Morrissey. Even You Are The Quarry is quite good.

[@JeffBend]

Speak for yourself mate. today I listened to Strangeways in the car and about 2 hours of Morrissey solo work when I got home.

[@thurstarca4995]

6:15 This will always be my absolute favorite riff of any Smiths song, Marr is a BEAST! 🤘🏻💯🔥

[@eapv2012]

I thought it was Some Girls are Bigger than others

[@thurstarca4995]

@@eapv2012 And that too! They do sound like they came from the same cloth ain't it?

[@scottpoyer5678]

Really great work. Even though there's a new batch of 16 year olds discovering the Smiths every year there's a reason you never hear their songs being covered by those kids first bands.

[@GNAL1610]

Do John Squire next please!

[@cameronvillarrealLp]

We are always on the same wavelength it’s crazy. Been doing a deep dive into Smiths lately. Marr is a legend

[@civ20]

Barbarism begins at home is his best riff imo

[@infarction8840]

Great job. I love those riffs, songs and the unique Marr sound.

[@aocastro]

how great is johnny marr?! epic stuff mate, thanks!

[@Pad13]

40 years on and they still sound totally unique.

[@davidbier7518]

Lovely playing. Really capture the feel of the master.

[@sinnerboy6009]

Haven’t listened to Marr in a long time this feels so good !

[@robertdayer]

Beautifully covered Sir!

[@charlieward3809]

Really cool thank you so much. I recommend learning Girl Afraid and Barbarism begins at home.

[@egarim8265]

The headmaster ritual really amazed me! Thank you for these videos, Harry, they increase my inspiration so much!

[@ngronlund]

That wonderfully played set begs for an encore: Girl A-fraid! Girl A-fraid! Girl A-fraid! (cue crowd roar)

[@jones848]

Probably my favourite guitarist ever, Johnny Fuckin Marr

[@pyroblaze13]

Awesome Guitar Chops. Thank you for sharing

[@teodoroconsiglio3595]

great selection man

[@jessereaves4664]

Brilliant! Well done!

[@NW-iw2rb]

How tf did he come up with these fucken genius

[@Francadam]

Never fully appreciated how beautiful the there is a light riff is till now

[@isaacmonarrez3617]

Such a perfect combination of talented individuals. As for the voice and lyricism, no one could’ve done it better than Morrissey. The guitar compositions are legendary due to Marr’s unique combination of diverse influences. Rourke’s bass lines complement Marr’s lines so well and add the cherry on top while Joyce’s impeccable timing and well-timed fills bring it all together like a delicious vegan sandwich.

[@puffysnowball2261]

I’ve heard versions of HSIN without the slide and found them wanting. Yours was great

[@renardsubtil3455]

FANTASTIC !!

[@xyzxyz997]

Seriously great playing there mate

[@cris.pxl_]

Johnny Marr es un genial guitarrista, lleno de creatividad y fineza, el riff de The Headmaster ritual me parece increíble, muy buen video amigo

[@mistersharpus6085]

Great vid! All true Smiths and Marr fans know ‘Girl Afraid’ is THE riff.

[@stevecorens6375]

But no one besides Johnny can play it. ❤

[@theogeo14]

Agreed - such a great song but is very underrated.

[@HitlerGaymes123]

No, Pretty Girls Make Graves and Suffer Little Children are

[@sidneygahrig3046]

Good work. Gute Arbeit.🥰😘

[@davids1301]

Masterful performance. Long live The Smiths 💙❤️ 🌷

[@jacobojuarez-nj8vr]

All youve done Is prove the genious of Moz AND Marr 50 AND 50 per cent of quality , 25 everyone member of. The genious of all Is magic AND strong influence today The magistral AND free voice of Moz AND all Thanks ya true fan man

[@aldrighi]

Nice! you just haven't earned it yet baby should be at that list. The chorus is so sweet

[@Chris-nc3zo]

brilliant

[@Nicolas25165]

I think the best riff is the barbarism begins at home

[@fancyx8794]

Ohhhh thanks for stop me if you heard this one before! ❤

[@P00katube]

Rick Beato needs to do a Top 10 list of songs by The Smiths MACHT SCHNELL!!!!!

[@timjx3675]

Awesome job🌟🎸 personally i would have included Some girls are bigger…. Ive just about got it down after many attempts ☺️ - one of my fav JM pieces

[@alexandrecavalcante9997]

I ❤️ THE SMITHS. By the way SMITHS is one of the most important part of my Music DNA. THANKS A LOT

[@McCambira]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻nice job

[@Grinfas]

Finally!!!!!🤙🏻💯🔥🔥

[@555reymon]

I think I counted nine but great video, you play very well

[@avvvqvvv99]

nice picks, i would add sweet and tender hooligan

[@chuckplainview4085]

The tremolo rate on how soon is now is so hard to find because it changes throughout the song

[@Tomversal]

I think it's 2 amps at different tremolo speeds on the original isn't it?

[@bashuppark]

Headmaster is the master of them all!

[@cactus-mcjacktus]

a little overdrive on What Difference Does It Make? and The Headmaster Ritual would’ve been great, but all in all, fantastic playing.

[@briannichols9641]

Please do a full headmasters ritual cover, my favorite smiths song!

[@AaronStuartHall]

So good to hear the riffs without Morrissey whining. They are all good, but How Soon is Now is still my favourite.

[@ceroberto]

You owe me "some girls are bigger than others" nice job by the way

[@eldjswett]

Headmasters is the most beautiful thing on planet earth

[@Tomversal]

Happy 60th Johnny!

[@maiqtheliar_]

One of the most influential guitar players ever

[@BUY_YOUTUBE_VIEWS_500]

I'm so grateful for the insights shared in this. 🤝

[@miguelherrera5759]

Why the song "accept yourself" is so underrated ?? There are only just a few videos and even in KZbin there is only the David Jensen session version why ??

[@allancerf9038]

First two you played - but the rest are also very close to the top two. (Top two are of course, This Charming Man, How Soon Is Now.)

[@mathiaslhote3671]

John Squire next !!!

[@danielcastillo5525]

Placebo riffs please 🙏

[@dreyerwesley]

2:33

Best band ever

[@abelgomez5106]

detalla el nombre de cada tema en orden como los tocaste

All of them. but I think my favorite is Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others.

what tuning is headmaster ritual in??

Question: Are The Smiths the most underrated band of all time?

[@NoName-cz3wn]

I will say, I expected Girl Afraid. But awesome plauing nonetheless

[@act.v9449]

Girl afraid deserved to be on this list

[@davidbaise5137]

All these players/bands began to change up the pop music sound from blues to something else. Like the Police, U2, and the Smiths.

[@tomasdeleon25]

crazy that some girls are bigger than others is not here, but otherwise great list!

[@jonasgi]

Still Ill & I want the one I cant have

[@G.TinyShark]

All you’ve done is prove 98.2% of any Smiths song is Johnny Marr.

[@s.k.9401]

and Andy Rourke

[@jones848]

That's an insult to Andy Rourke. Couldn't imagine any smiths song with his basslines. Headmaster Ritual sound empty without it
