@@wessmall9169 Yet here I am! Guess you're technically correct. I'm a Johnny Marr fan. The Smiths was just the band he was in at the time, and I enjoyed what he did in it. Morrissey, meh, he was the price of admission I had to pay.
Anyone who's picked up a guitar will know how true this is. There's guitarists who get way more credit for flashy styles but I've been playing for twenty years and have never been able to replicate the subtleties of Marr's playing. He must be my favourite guitarist who I can't say I'm influenced by because I can't get close to anything he does. P.S Think you can just about bash this one out with Am, C, F,G though!
He was probably the worst guitar hero to have growing up. Heck I could play some of the shredding Dave Navarro stuff from nothings shocking before I could play the smiths You should see the tuning and capo for the headmaster ritual.
I don't know the Smiths much but that is never going to work out unless Morrissey has had another awakening, Pink Floyd's two sparring partners have more of a chance at reunion and that's "Fat"!?!
Marr is the best melodic pop rock guitarist and tunewriter of the era; his tunes will remain on my playlists always. Morrissey took me a few listens to really appreciate his delivery but the humor and melancholy in his lyrics was always appreciated. I was surprised how much I liked his solo work but I have only recently been picking up on Marr’s latest releases and yes his vocals are right there. What a top group of musicians and with the solo stuff by Marr, so happy he continues the legacy.
i hope you all realized just how VERYyyyyyy fortunate that you are to have lived in a time when you had this freaking genius in his prime to get lost in!!!!! being 61 now, i have adores his talent for 35 years and am so thankful that i have the sensibilities that i do to have gotten the SMITHS and Moz//Johnny Marr right from the rip; they are and clearly still are incomparable!!
His singing has improved a ton. It’s now got character and depth. And he’s such a nice guy. Imagine what the Smiths would have sounded like today if Moz would’ve not been such a pill.
This song got me through 3 months of lockdown. Thankfully in Melbourne Australia we are extraordinarily lucky to be living as we are. Thinking of others still going through it. Peace.
I realized that I was very happy with my normal life. When I first heard The Smiths, when I went to see them live, it was a miracle, not the norm. Johnny's voice is more beautiful than ever and his 12 string guitar is brilliant. I'm glad to have another miracle in my life.
You cant buy CLASS and Boy does Johnny Marr have it in abundance... KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD .. before we have to pay to sleep and Pay to wake up ... JM and The Smiths ... STUNNING and TIMELESS .
This is the best cover for the simple reason that Marr does understand what the song is all about and respects Morrisey's original feelings. As a guitarist, a killer.
Still relevant n still got a cool Barnet. it will forever mystify me why it took my 2nd favorite guitarist of all time an age to bust da mic out n find his voice bravo thanx for posting
Ah geez!!! Every hair on me stood up listening to this! After all these years... I have wanted to use this song, since it came out, for either a wedding march, or a memorial dirge. Brilliant. Thank you!
I was in the car with the greatest love of my life leaving me when the radio played this song. We both cried and I was looking for a blessed double-decker bus that would crash into us, to die beside her at that moment. It was over 20 years ago, we are both alive but we have never seen each other again.
It's hard to know what to say about this, other than absolute brilliance. What a tune master. The other guys in the band played a massive part of The Smiths sound but without this genious we wouldn't have been able wallow in our self pity for so long :-) Superb music.

Ya
Wow thanks for the tip. Great stuff
His voice is just getting better and better wow
Sounds effing awesome!
Agreed! He's the only reasons I enjoyed The Smiths. I tolerated Moz's singing. Johnny sings those songs better IMO.
I noticed Johnny seems to have gotten quite good at doing vibrato with his voice.
@@msmoniz get a grip! You can't call yourself a Smiths fan with a comment like that

1:54 Johnny starts playing both guitar parts simultaneously - then realises that would be showing off and stops.
He does it at the end.
I tried to learn how to play Smiths songs on guitar and I was struggling until I realised the problem: I’m not Johnny Marr
his guitar playing on Well I Wonder is the best tbh. too beautiful to be true
Johnny is a Genuis what he plays doesn't look hard until you try to replicate it!

"not even johnny marr is as good as johnny marr" -noel gallagher
I've never really wanted a Smiths reunion. But I just realized how cool it would be to hear Moz and Johnny harmonize their vocals.
That would be fucking weird
Morrissey would never let Marr sing
@@hoodoohullabaloo2848 I mean he let boz and alain sing so you never know
I don't know the Smiths much but that is never going to work out unless Morrissey has had another awakening, Pink Floyd's two sparring partners have more of a chance at reunion and that's "Fat"!?!
@@TomTomicMic It's okay. A.I. has it sorted. : )

That one dislike has to be Morrissey. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
True
Ahahahahha
Whoa! That guy plays the guitar just like the dude in the Smiths!!!
That makes sense because everyone is everything.
@@meadish the acid hit huh
@@meadish deep as fuck
I just want to hear him redo all of the smiths back catalogue as a solo act. Who's with me.
My lawd yessssss! For me, his voice is far and away better than Morissey and I don't get why Johnny doesn't get the hype
@@thenativenraven imagine thinking this vocal is as good as Morrisey
I don't think there's anyone cooler in rock than Johnny Marr!
Paul Weller is cooler...
You're right!
@@kerrybock766 No - You're right!
F*kc it - you're both right!!
Surely Ted nugent is far cooler...lol
Good to see Johnny rockin’ the 12 string...sounds amazing
Lovely depth
Never noticed it until I read your comment 😄
This is timeless stuff, which is why he's still playing it. Bloke is a legend
Johnny Fuckin' Marr on 12 string guitar! 👌🏼

Here in Brazil it´s a nightmare...
Being from Germany I had the chance to work and live in Melbourne for some 6 weeks in 1994. This city rocks! Good on ya!

Love to see the sole composer of a masterpiece perform his classics
He now has a beautiful voice.

2021 just got better, with lockdown hopefully coming to an end watching Johnny Marr performing there is a light, this makes me smile.
Is Johnny Marr playing a Smiths song really a cover??? ;-). Beautiful version of the guy who co-wrote it!! :-)
interesting! perhaps it is, as he isn't the smiths, he was part of the smiths. dunno :-) probably version would be a better word.
Who wrote the lyrics? 😉
@@alaken dunno!
Is nearly any Oasis song that Noel sings a cover?
@@haroldroberts5250 Haha love it!
Best guitarist ever... Luv Marr's compositions and this one's my all time fav song!
when you're locked inside your home during the pandemic and feels like you're losing your hopes, please remember; there is a light that never goes out
My favourite Smith's song!!!
This is one of the best songs ever
Sublime! And he sings it beautifully! I really could never understand why I never saw him singing harmonies with The Smiths!?
To the best of my knowledge Morrissey never wanted backing singers on his tracks so the music was written to accommodate that
He did at the very very early gigs
I could watch Jonny play all day. Great to be able to see the guitar all the way through.
The privilege was ours! 🙏🏼
Just love Johnny Marr, a great musician!
Yes one of the best 🤩
I've always admired Johnny's guitar skills but ma alive he has a great voice! Love it
I could cry when I remember the first time I heard this song, for good times and bad.
Throw back to when I sang this song for my 3rd grade talent show!
genius at work !!! Thank you for all your music Johnny!
Johnny Marr…Awesome
This is incredible. Love the counter melody coming in at the end. Wow.
What a treat to see the man himself play an acoustic version of one of my all-time favorite Smiths songs!! Yay!
Wow, first time I ever see him play acoustically. That was wonderful!
My favorite version.
I don’t know else who needed to see this right now, but I highly suspect I’m not the only one. Brilliant, as always.
Just what we need - someone else doing another Smiths cover......
he was from the smiths?
@@LittleShopofProps this guy is obviously joking lmao
Lol
He is good he should be in a band
Pmsl.....u snagged one in the comments
He looks georgeous! He seems not to age...and he plays and sings wonderful!
This guy is magic.
Wonderful Johnny
Such a beautifully tragic song - BRILLIANT! Thank you, #JohnnyFuckingMarr
This is lovely and wow. A serious rock god making it look easy. I so love Mr. Marr.
This is the best cover for the simple reason that Marr does understand what the song is all about and respects Morrisey's original feelings. As a guitarist, a killer.
One of the best ever. I had the chance to see him live, the best guitar player I like
Thanx Johnny Marr u r a true legend great loved this so much thank u thank u thank u!!!!!!!!!! 😎
It’s so beautiful hearing the man who wrote the song singing the lyrics. Beautiful
He's an amazing guitarist. How soon is now is just amazing
Love him love this...he sounds great. Beautiful song, always.
Legend,genius,superstar.....the guys all of these and some.
Jesus.. absolutely beautiful
Excellent. My favorite Smiths song by far.
I am here for this .
It's very sad that never will be The Smith's reunion. 😢
Still relevant n still got a cool Barnet. it will forever mystify me why it took my 2nd favorite guitarist of all time an age to bust da mic out n find his voice bravo thanx for posting
Thanks for the lesson, Johnny! It's not that the song is easy, he just makes it look easy.
Love Johnny, an acoustic album from him would be amazing.
This is the perfect song while studying Dante Alighieri, it reminds me so much of his life and the inferno and his other books
Jonny Marr Hero! ❤️
Wow, Yay, thank you for sharing🙏
Johnny muito obrigado por tudo o que você canta e toca 🇧🇷 ❤
Amazing. A song I've loved for decades, in this version everything about the song I love is still there. I may prefer this version.
Ah geez!!!
Every hair on me stood up listening to this! After all these years...
I have wanted to use this song, since it came out, for either a wedding march, or a memorial dirge.
Brilliant. Thank you!
Love this more than the earlier version. For real.
That arpeggio at the end always gets me.
Just johnny 🙌🏻👌🏻
your voice is really sounding great, Johnny. playing your repertoire daily.
Breathtaking 💙
The end guitar playing is just so amazing, really amazing
The best song ever.
Morrissey and mart please get back together!!!! We need it! The world needs it!!

Cantando de olhos fechados. Obrigada, Johnny!
Claro ... por Amor!
Um dos ícones da minha geração!
Bless this mans heart and soul.
Thank You !!!
Just Incredible
I love your vocal takes on these fundamentals, JM. These are your songs, I love to see you own them.
Such a beautiful song.
curtia muito essas músicas na época dos The Smiths, me fez voltar os anos 80 inesquecível época.
Thanks for my birthday present, Johnny.
Bloody legend!
Amazing Johnny! You are the best.
Thank you, Johnny.
Johnny keeps the tunes like this it might rule out that much dreamt invite to what's his name
Absolutely splendid.. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Great music needs to be played and heard LIVE! ❤️
😍 Exactly what I needed this morning...JFM rules.
JOHNNY FUCKING MARR!!!
What a beautiful Dark song 😢
Best song ever.
Johnny is such a good sport for covering this song written by Doris from Gavin and Stacey. 😊
Top drawer Johnny, made my Friday, thanks for taking the time to put this up.
What a master
Gotta be hard for sure to play this song without adding or hearing the 2nd guitar track, which he found a way to include here brilliantly.
