The Smiths - Half A Person

Another go at a Smith's song, this time "Half a Person" great song with the obvious teenage troubled lyrics over the blissful tingle of Johnny Marr's guitar....Playing this through my 23yr old Ross amp and my toneworks KORG AX1000G pedal bank!! sound is poor as only have my Mac to pick it up.... plus my amp is tucked in a corner.... anyhow enjoy..

The Smiths "This Charming Man"

 Here is my first attempt at a tutorial video on youtube for The Smiths "This Charming Man", again not the best of quality and the playing is not the best. It would also be good to know if any one can follow how to learn the song from this tutorial!!! Love learning these songs now as I used to get very frustrated when I was younger.... Enjoy and please add comments or corrections to the Guitar.

Alone By "Heart" on acoustic guitar

 So.... I am in the process of working out the guitar tablature/chords for "Heart's" song "Alone". I don't just want to strum the song though to sing along to, but rather finger pick the notes and chords. I have only just pushed myself to play songs this way and to be honest, wish I had started sooner!! It makes a big change from your usual strumming or picking like in songs such as Guns n Roses "Patience".

The Smiths "I Won't Share You"

 I have a passion for music which from a very young age spread to a passion for playing the guitar. The passion started from my brother playing The Smiths in our bedroom at a very young age and has never dwindled since.

Aged 12 my dad gave me his nylon-stringed acoustic guitar and I was hooked. My uncle also loves guitar's and music and I think it run through our veins.

I decided to try a very simple song by The Smiths " I Won't Share you" which is the final track on the "Strangeways Here We Come" album.

Although no singer, I gave it a go!

C D
I put on my raincoat to make it rain

Em D
and sure enough the skies opened up again

C D
I dreamed of you as I walked to the shops,

Bm Em
you were dancing with the wallies on Top of the Pops

C C/B D
once in a while

C C/B D
Gennady Gerasimov drops his smile

C D
and you can see that his aim's

Bm Em
a portfolio pregnant with gains

C C/B D
he's been up all night

C C/B Am G
moving the goalposts

Bm
like a jackdaw with a fiery brand,

Em
spread the news all over this land

Am
robin hood and his merry men

D
are never never never coming back again

C D
I don't believe that love should be pain

Em D
so would you please rub my back again

C D
I think it's safe to leave them in the park

Bm Em
let's blow out the candles and kiss in the dark

C C/B D
heavens above

C C/B D
could this sticky stuff really be love

C D Bm Em
don't get dressed yet not yet

C C/B D
we've been up all night
