@@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.
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.
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 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.
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!!
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.
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 .
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 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.
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
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.
i have the same feeling on the other video when mike jones sang stay free in the library my two guitar heroes sang their own songs. hope u guys are stay health
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!
Watch "New Town Velocity" from the same session. Thanks to BrewDog!

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

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. : )
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

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
1:54 Johnny starts playing both guitar parts simultaneously - then realises that would be showing off and stops.
He does it at the end.
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 Marr…Awesome

I could cry when I remember the first time I heard this song, for good times and bad.
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.
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!

It’s so beautiful hearing the man who wrote the song singing the lyrics. Beautiful
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!
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.

JM sets a high bar for sure
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 could watch Jonny play all day. Great to be able to see the guitar all the way through.
My favorite version.
My favourite Smith's song!!!
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.
Best guitarist ever... Luv Marr's compositions and this one's my all time fav song!
This is incredible. Love the counter melody coming in at the end. Wow.
This is one of the best songs ever
He looks georgeous! He seems not to age...and he plays and sings wonderful!
2021 just got better, with lockdown hopefully coming to an end watching Johnny Marr performing there is a light, this makes me smile.
"not even johnny marr is as good as johnny marr" -noel gallagher
He now has a beautiful voice.
What a treat to see the man himself play an acoustic version of one of my all-time favorite Smiths songs!! Yay!
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
Just love Johnny Marr, a great musician!
Yes one of the best 🤩
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
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!
One of the best ever. I had the chance to see him live, the best guitar player I like
I've always admired Johnny's guitar skills but ma alive he has a great voice! Love it
Throw back to when I sang this song for my 3rd grade talent show!
This is lovely and wow. A serious rock god making it look easy. I so love Mr. Marr.
Wow, first time I ever see him play acoustically. That was wonderful!
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.
genius at work !!! Thank you for all your music Johnny!
Thanx Johnny Marr u r a true legend great loved this so much thank u thank u thank u!!!!!!!!!! 😎
Wonderful Johnny
Love to see the sole composer of a masterpiece perform his classics
Johnny Fuckin' Marr on 12 string guitar! 👌🏼
This guy is magic.
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.
Love Johnny, an acoustic album from him would be amazing.
He's an amazing guitarist. How soon is now is just amazing
Excellent. My favorite Smiths song by far.
Love this more than the earlier version. For real.
Such a beautifully tragic song - BRILLIANT! Thank you, #JohnnyFuckingMarr
Thank god for Johnny Marr
Love him love this...he sounds great. Beautiful song, always.
Wow, Yay, thank you for sharing🙏
Legend,genius,superstar.....the guys all of these and some.
Thanks for the lesson, Johnny! It's not that the song is easy, he just makes it look easy.
Wow! I've always thought about Johnny Marr as a supreme guitarist, without realising what a wonderful singing voice he actually has. Fantastic!
I love your vocal takes on these fundamentals, JM. These are your songs, I love to see you own them.
your voice is really sounding great, Johnny. playing your repertoire daily.
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 have the same feeling on the other video when mike jones sang stay free in the library
my two guitar heroes sang their own songs. hope u guys are stay health
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!
Johnny keeps the tunes like this it might rule out that much dreamt invite to what's his name
Jesus.. absolutely beautiful
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.
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
Jonny Marr Hero! ❤️
The end guitar playing is just so amazing, really amazing
Johnny muito obrigado por tudo o que você canta e toca 🇧🇷 ❤
Voice is great on this!!!!

Thanks for my birthday present, Johnny.
How does he look so young??? You’re a beautiful soul, Mr. Marr.
Cantando de olhos fechados. Obrigada, Johnny!
Claro ... por Amor!
Um dos ícones da minha geração!
Bloody legend!
That arpeggio at the end always gets me.
The best song ever.
Top drawer Johnny, made my Friday, thanks for taking the time to put this up.

Breathtaking 💙
