@@Ct-rq8zy awesome! Just subscribed.... looking forward to following. I missed your previous smiths videos, so it’s good to hear you’re still going.

[@mel_163]

Beautiful..

[@candybycameo2194]

want YOUR tab, it is the most perfect and most beautiful version ive seen on a cover

[@narutokiba10]

Probably the best cover of this song

[@s3blag]

@@SuperLeoton this one is way better than gustav's. Period.

[@s3blag]

@@SuperLeoton comparing guitar cover to a guitar+voice cover does not make sense.

[@digitaloctavelol3700]

This is amazing, your fingers flow like fucking water

[@iainprendergast8311]

Thank you

[@CableWrestler]

Perfect. It's guitar playing like this that I really aspire to.

[@charliestanley5377]

have you reached your aspiration?

[@dukeofyorkshire355]

Fairy dust must have been sprinkled on your fretboard to make your guitar sound like that. Just beautiful.

[@User-jk8wq]

Getting this tone isn't difficult; it's literally just a 12 string with reverb. Playing it correctly however I assume requires magical powers

[@andrewmartin8978]

Why does it sound so ethereal!!?!?! Absolutely sublime!

[@sunsetblvd693]

12 string sound

[@mrdopeshoes]

the 12-string just makes it sound perfect

[@caveatemp]

Wish I lived in London and it was 2009. Hope you found your singer.

[@kirbyesque]

I’m here in 2023 loving this cover and this song. ❤❤❤

[@maddog5550]

lyrics: The rain falls hard on a humdrum town This town has dragged you down Oh, the rain falls hard on a humdrum town This town has dragged you down Oh, no, and everybody's got to live their life And God knows I've got to live mine God knows I've got to live mine William, William, it was really nothing William, William, it was really nothing It was your life How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say "Oh! Would you like to marry me? And if you like you can buy the ring" She doesn't care about anything "Would you like to marry me? And if you like you can buy the ring" I don't dream about anyone, except myself Oh, William, William, it was really nothing William, William

[@MegaHellenkeller]

Johnny Marr is a master of voice leading. Amazing cover

[@EJleon96]

My goodness those chord changes are lightning fast, probably the best version on KZbin

[@motioncontenthouse4225]

Dude... Holy crap.

[@Pandaprops]

This is a Takamine...I play this now with the capo on the 2nd fret. Sounds much better in my opinion. Completely different chords of course. Makes use of open strings more.

[@manoverboard735]

Man you can't just say something like that and not post a video of what that looks like!

[@richardschulz4405]

jm loves the 2nd = awesome

[@HollowBxstion]

The beginning is the best part, sounds magical

[@BIGT537]

Wonderful. I think 0:34 might be my favourite chord in the whole world.

[@Glumlock]

This has got to be one of the best Marr songs around. Deffo one of his most technical pieces. Genius :)

[@hatesitrick]

I’ve been watching this video for years and years. Every year I get better at the guitar and I revisit it thinkin “I’m good enough to try this now” - then I watch it and I’m like dear lord he’s too good 😂

[@User-jk8wq]

Among me and my guitar playing friends this video has become the stuff of legend. Everyone I show it to automatically drops their jaw within 5 seconds without fail. Unbelievable playing

[@iainprendergast8311]

Thanks mate. It took a lot of doing and you have to be in love with the source material

[@User-jk8wq]

@@iainprendergast8311 Haha, you're very welcome mate! Also just want to say that your I Wanna Be Adored cover (and the accompanying description) was what finally made me realise that the secret to that particular tone was an octave pedal. I could never seem to get the sound right, and apparently neither could anyone else I saw on KZbin at that time, until I happened across your version and suddenly it all made sense...still have no f'n clue how you got the ambient intro sounds though!

[@FriedChickenofDeath6]

Best version I've seen in a long time! Maybe the best ever. Thank you, sir, I just learned this song from your video. Much better than any tab.

[@khrispy]

Woah! Great version mate and great rhythm playing. You cracked it!

[@abarkcanoe]

Thank you for this Fantastic cover and presentation. 12 string Takamine did the song justice big time.

[@untidyecho9916]

WOAH MAN, THIS IS THE BEST COVER I'VE SEEN... THIS IS WHAT I ASPIRE TO PLAY LIKE, hope you progress even further I wish you all the luck with your playing.

[@bojolais1380]

Fantastic playing

Absolutely incredible...and the best cover I've heard

[@jlo4543]

[@Frijolero18]

That's pretty amazing. I can almost hear backwards echo.

[@bluesatmosphere4659]

Amazing 12 string sound

[@Pandaprops]

It's been a while since I've seen this video and I've gone back to capo on the second fret would you believe. I saw a video of Johnny on you tube playing an acoustic with a basic rhythm of 'William' and I Realised what he was up to, or as close as mortals can get.

[@AliFugginB]

the brightness you get from this guitar is something else. Amazing cover

[@dehcastanho21]

What a bealtiful mellody

[@jlo4543]

Jesus man, you made those 12 stings work! You made a guitar sound like a symphony! 👍🏼

[@smithsonguitar]

Wow! That's impressive. I love how you integrate the lead riffs at certain parts. Thanks for posting this!

[@ragtimerye]

you're very talented! this was fantastic! i love all of your stone roses covers too. thank you :D

[@conort5943]

You really did marr justice with this one. Otherworldly.

[@station2station544]

Johnny actually does capo the 2nd fret on the 12 string. Unsure about the 6th string he layers over.

[@the_toonrider960]

Absolute belter! Simply mesmerising! 💯👌

Hello...yes we did! We are called (grammatically incorrect). 'Smiths is dead' We are on all the usual networking sites. Thank you for comment. Iain

[@grantrmiller]

He's said in interviews they never sped up the tape on the studio version. But watching him play it live at multiple stages (always capoed at the second fret) has me convinced his memory is little fuzzy. Your version sounds great , perfect even. But I'm convinced they sped up the guitar on the studio version.

[@mottahead6464]
