- This was really hard. It's not perfect, as it's just not meant to be played and sung at the same time, let alone on an acoustic guitar. But I did my best. Johnny Marr and Morrissey are both just so good, it's hard to even be half as good as either of them. Doing it at the same time is stressful LOL. This took a few takes, I can't lie.
You can now stream/download newly recorded "studio" versions of This Charming Man and There Is A Light on my debut album "50/50"!

Who the HELL can do Moz and Marr at the same damned time?! There is NO ONE like this man.
we agree on that!
Jesus exactly. I play. Marr is hard enough to get cleanly. This is superb
Well, there is that Thom Yorke dude, but he did have some help from Jonny and Ed. Great work on this, Adam! All of your covers are a treat, but The Smiths covers are the tastiest!
i know right. i've been transfixed for the last half hour
Marr even usually used multiple tracks for his parts. This guy does everything on just an acoustic it's wild
Think Johnny Marr would even be impressed with that!! Crackin
Cheers Johnny! 😎
such a difficult song, and such relaxed singing! A joy to listen to.
I was trying hard to hold it together 😂 thanks Martin!
I love this song and actually most of your covers oh and can you do more Radiohead like killer cars bulletproof or no suprises thanks
Arguably the trickiest of all the tricky Smiths tunes. Nailed, well done.
Girl afraid is a tricky one too
It's going from the rhythm into the arpeggiated bridge...been trying for months lol
@@timk6181 same here, specifically on the transition from rhythm to the chorus 😅
The whole Meat is Murder album is a masterpiece. Hearing it today takes me back to times when it was new and so many other places, good and bad, it's one of the best that evokes many emotions to this very day.
He definitely captures that energy
I found it the hardest smiths album to get into, but it’s the most rewarding when you get there (if that makes sense)
Woah, you made that look easy. I attempted to play this at a family gathering, why didn't I just play wonderwall like anyone else in my situation. 😂
😂😂😂 it's probably the hardest song I've ever attempted
This is up with when Radiohead covered this. Well done! 💙
Cheers Megan! Means a lot!
What's most iconic is its in your bedroom the room we ALL learned to play guitar, you are most definitely a Smith's officiando, bravo impeccable timing chords and vocals, the most all rounded Smith's covers I've ever heard, well done my friend as that's many hours of practice 😉👏👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome brother!!! Realize you are playing the part of Marr and Morrissey at the same time! Well played sir!!!!!
Thanks bro! It was hard I will admit haha, but I just about got through it!
Yes, even more impressive when you think of it like that. What a great tribute... i find this song so indescribably sad and beautiful... and then morrissey throws in some yodelling which somehow makes sense 😂 I love this cover.
Omg u covered this SO SO GREAT I’ve been a Smiths fan since 1984’ish perfection u are!!!!!
This is easily one of the most impressive covers I've heard....this song is a masterclass in songwriting and guitar playing and you did an amazing job.
Thank you so much Rick!
...I went to a Manchester school and I fully endorse this splendid cover of a wonderful song
the best melody/chord progression ever written on the guitar
Hard to top it
I’m starting to prefer this lad to the actual smiths!!!
Yea the vocals but the guitar doesn’t even come close
@@rizvanxd8724 Personally I love the acoustic revamp but that's what opinions are for
Other than Radiohead, I haven't seen anyone else on CZcams play The Headmaster Ritual and sing it at the same time. Totally amazing.
JM used overdubs massively. Bet he never attempted this in one take. Amazing mate
FINALLY. Someone who plays the "B-C" notes leading up to the passage beginning this song !! Thank you
Haha, I noticed that people skip that too 😬
@@Adam_Barrett What do you guys mean? Im trying to perfect my version, could you tell me what passage you mean?
My favourite smiths song, played fantastically ❤️
Dude you’re so talented playing this song and singing at the same time!!
Thanks so much Monique!
Great cover Adam. This is a difficult one to play and sing at the same time. The timing is quite difficult. You obviously know the song really well and you sound brilliant.
Brilliant. Somebody should tell Morrissey about this guy
Bloody well tell Johnny Marr too!!!!
dear god, no! Moz would certainly make Adam stop.
Agree
Morrissey would probably try to have him deported!
Amande Deux I will!
"he does the military two-step down the nape of my neck"
brilliant song, incredible cover. yeah, i feel you with regards to playing and singing at the same time, chorus is incredibly hard to play whilst singing. nice job mate!
Cheers mate! It's insanely hard. Easily the hardest thing I've ever learned
Excellent rendition!
It's not meant to be strung and sung together - but you do a great job.
Canta e tocar ao mesmo tempo com tanta perfeição não é pra qualquer um não ...
One of my favorites and you kill it! Love it.

Wow, I wasn't it expecting it to be special but wow, so clean and great tone... Bravo!
Wow, wow, wow!!! This is nuts (in all the best ways). Huge props to you to be able to play Marr's intricate guitar work AND sing Morrissey's lyrics at the same time. Hat's off to you!
Love it! Awesome job!

Amazing!!!!!! Beautiful executed version, needless to say this is the greatest cover ever made of this song.
You're gifted, brother!
Absolutely wicked! Great playing and singing. Top.
