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 "Vicar In A Tutu"

Again my love of The Smiths, Guitar Playing, Johnny Marr and Social Networking combine to produce this dull effort at the classic Vicar In A Tutu...

 

Done for Emma Hampton but clearly not even close to the guy who got me playing Johnny Marr.

 

Play:-  "Vicar In A Tutu"

The Smiths "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby"

Again my love of The Smiths and Guitar have brought me to post another video, not a tutorial but if any one is interested in another post which shows "how to play" I will of course oblige..... 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.

New Musical Express

Finally after much waiting an article has been printed in the NME on the band Static From Stereo; included of course is the bands chosen picture from the ad-hoc shoot I did for them. It's a nice shoot I think considering the wind, sleet, snow and rain that battered me and the band that night. I wish them all the best for the future and would gladly snap some shots again!!! On a slightly lower note, the NME was a poor read....or perhaps I'm just getting older!!

Classic Bernard Butler

My love of guitars has been pushed forward by many, here is just one!!!!

Static From Stereo!!

I got asked to take some photos at short notice for a great up and comming local band from Sunderland! "Static From Stereo" are getting an article written about them in the NME and they did not have any up to date photos with the newest member. Not a bad shoot considering the snow, rain and wind in a very cold Sunderland... You can follow the lads on Facebook "Static from Stereo" or Twitter "@sfsnortheast or MySpace "Staticfromstereo"

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".
