great video. i still can’t believe Andy is gone. i grew up listening to The Smiths. such incredible songs. never be another band like them. loved your playing. you’re very talented! RIP Andy 🙏🏻💔
Brilliant, it suddenly struck me listening to this that The Smiths weren't all about Morrissey and Marr (love them as I do) but Andy and Mike as well. The bass lines in the songs are often the most prominent factor in how good the songs are. So underrated as a bass player, he was just class and the songs wouldn't have been the same without him, which is why he was in the band. RIP Andy, always in our hearts.
He was a genius player, essential to the sound of the band. It's quite amazing that he stood out the way he did when the guitar player in your band is Johnny Marr but he did. Listening to The Smiths with earphones is the best way to realise how incredible he was, those basslines are beautifully melodic and with a very personal style immediately recognisable.
After watching a few Smiths bass cover videos today, including some really good ones, I have to say that this is the first one where someone is attacking the strings with the bit of aggression that is needed! Great job! That hard pick attack is essential!
Very saddened to hear that Andy Rourke has left us. He was way too young, 3 years younger than me. Though whilst he was here, he contributed to the world in many ways. Well played Andy.
Yk, johnny marr + andy rourke were a f melodic + ryhmic enterprise running on every song by The Smiths..seems to me they are fully responsable for one of the trademarks of the smiths sounds, those absolute stunning rythmic / melodic enterprise running through rickenbackers & fender jaguars by Marr and the cold blooded ace fender precision by Rourke. Only can find paralell on the music on this era on the Television rythmic and solo guitars section. The Strokes also are heavily influenced by this shit, even if them are not fully aware of it but i bet they are. Long live Marr / Rourke melodic/rythmic session, those brillant arrengements combined together are precious, timeless and one of The Smiths most intrincated secret treasures. Great job on this, my friend, congrats.
Great job! Plenty more Smiths songs with great bass lines. You could easily make another video like this. As others have said, Barbarism Begins at Home, Hans In Glove, The Headmaster Ritual are a couple great ones for another bass video.
Guillermo, that is, without doubt, the best rendition of Andy Rourke's basslines that I've ever heard for those tracks. Superb...note for note...spot on dude!! BRAVO!! Coops
Amazing playing! Seeing this made me realize Andy is equally brilliant as Johnny. They both push the music with beautiful and technical playing like no one else. What a great band...and sound! Thanks for that great video...well done!
Great, it helped me to figure out two doubts i had on bigmouth... though i keep hearing a f# the end of the second main riff. insted you go down and well, it seems that it souds better...
Hi! 95% of the tone is just a clean P bass sound. Then EQ just a little. Cut trebble searching for a warm sound. I did this with a 100 dolar bass and a GK simulator. Im sure you can archieve this tone ;)
@@GuillermoLescano Thanks for quick response Guillermo, I have a P Bass myself im just thinking for when Im playing it live. Im going for a Boss CE-2 chorus effect pedal, and will look into either a Trace Elliot/Ampeg amp. Will cut on the treble though!!! Awesome video

Hi, Guillermo!! Great video!!! Can you tell me something about this bass? It sounds really good but I wonder if is it worth for small gigs, if the quality of the instrument worth some future upgrades? There is not to much information about it on the net, I read that the body is not made of solid wood but plywood, does it have a good resonance and natural sustain unplugged? Is all original? Did you change the eletric and the pickup? How are the tuners, the bass stay in tune decently, or it needs better tuners. The neck is thick or thin? I need a cheap P bass for small gigs and I´m researching this model but I don´t wanna spend to much in upgrades. Sorry for my poor english. Best regards!
Hello, thanx! Its a super cheap Samick bass. Its a ok bass, nothing great but its has a really good volume. The relation price/money its very good. Its a nice bass and i was thinking in put a Dimarzio mic. Sorry for my poor english too ;)
Thanks very much for the reply, Guillermo!! Don´t worry about the english, as long we undersstand each other it´s fine! So, your bass is still stock and do you think it worths a pickup upgrade, am I right? Glad to know it!! Do you gig wtih this bass, it holds the tuning well? Best regards!

Everybody talks about Marr's great guitar parts, rightfully so, but Rourke's bass parts are equally impressive.
Most definitely.
I think one can very reliably say The Smiths are the most important band since The Beatles. Such an impressive body of work.
I believe Marr wrote the guitar and bass parts
@@Craicfox161 No he didnt. He confirmed that it was Rourke on an Instagram ama a while back.
Smiths is one of those bands where everyone was on point. Guitars, bass, drums, everything was top notch.
@@adr1ew name one bad smiths song
Smiths would not be the same without Andy. Such an underrated and underlooked bassist.
Totally!
Overlooked, not underlooked (no such word).
Here, in my country, Brasil, Andy was always praised by the music journalism and musicians as a trully talented and creative bass player.
This is truer than ever. R.I.P. Andy
you would like to include barbarism begins at home too
I'm thinking of shooting a new video, probably playing the song you're mentioning
Yes, that would be amazing!
Your comment took me to that song. It's an amazing song! Thank you!
Agreed
Not saying the bass line isn't sick, but that's my least favorite The Smiths song of them all.
Descansa em paz Andy 😔🎸
great video. i still can’t believe Andy is gone. i grew up listening to The Smiths. such incredible songs. never be another band like them.
loved your playing. you’re very talented!
RIP Andy 🙏🏻💔

Andy Rourke the best
GREAT playing! This just proves what a genius Andy Rourke was on bass for The Smiths.
Jamie Scott Palmer totaly underestimated.people go on about Morrissey and marr.. but forget what amazing bass lines they are
Jamie Scott Palmer He was great but marr did write a lot of his pieces tho

Thanx!
I never dug red guitars, but that matte pickguard really brings it all together.
And that rosewood fretboard complements tha black pickguard with that dark red color makes it feel like some sort of sports car or something
Yeah that’s a beautiful bass man. Is it a Fender?
@@jeorgewatson it is a Samick. They have Jazz Bass style neck.
It's pointless for me to say this but, this is the first time I saw someone play bass where grass is visible
it means a lot to me
i found this really wholesome and funny for some reason. bless both of you. Lol
I go outside less frequently than I change my strings
These could easily be Smiths lyrics.
He’s playing for bambi and friends
rest in peace andy, heaven knows we're miserable now
Such a great musician 😢🙏
R.I.P Andy Rourke
Andy came up with the perfect lines to make the songs what they are: Epic Classics.
*Beautiful!*
My fav is 'Charming Man' there's just nothing as quirky and catchy and original.
Very saddened to hear that Andy Rourke has left us.
He was way too young, 3 years younger than me.
Though whilst he was here, he contributed to the world in many ways.
Well played Andy.
Now Andy is gone and the dream of a reunion is over 😢

Godness that was SWEET! Beautiful sounding bass...esp on the high notes. Thx for sharing :-)
RIP Andy. My personal best is Barbarism Begins at Home
The Headmaster ritual and Frankly Mr. Shankly must be there to !!
Great cover! I was hoping to see The Night Has Opened My Eyes or Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now on your list.
I'm thinking of shooting second video ;)
Espero verlo!
Totally TRUE!!!! heaven knows I'm miserable now is such a SUPERB BASSLINE!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✊🏼👍🏼
I could watch this all day. Thank you.
Love the Smith's baselines
You do a great job playing them
Thanx man
The melancholy of stop me if.... hits every time I listen to it ... 35 years now
love rourke lines :) great job!
He is dangerously underrated.
Loved your tone and the playing! Your bass is gorgeous too
@@Nickzzzera_ thanks man! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Great job! Plenty more Smiths songs with great bass lines. You could easily make another video like this. As others have said, Barbarism Begins at Home, Hans In Glove, The Headmaster Ritual are a couple great ones for another bass video.

Guillermo, that is, without doubt, the best rendition of Andy Rourke's basslines that I've ever heard for those tracks. Superb...note for note...spot on dude!! BRAVO!! Coops
Thanx!
@@GuillermoLescano 🙂
I only realized recently that Rourke was inventing all these lines when he was about 20 yo.
Very nicely done!
I would totally be in a Smiths cover band with you dude. You’re spot on.
If you come to Berlin that could happen ;)
Where's Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now?
THSTS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING, hello 2 years later lol
5 stars..great covers...❤ from ireland
Fantastic playing!!
andys bass lines, astounding
A sigh of joy and a smile is what this video gave me. Thanks :)
Amazing, though I think 'barbarism begins at home' deserves to be on there, too
Amazing playing! Seeing this made me realize Andy is equally brilliant as Johnny. They both push the music with beautiful and technical playing like no one else. What a great band...and sound! Thanks for that great video...well done!
Gracias!
Outstanding! Andy is a VERY UNDER RATED Bass Player! Some of The most melodic bass lines I ever heard.
Barbarism begins at home, please!
Bravo Guillermo 👍👍👍
So glad to hear Bigmouth Strikes Again on this! Such a fun song to play 😁
Genial! Excelente trabajo!!! Muy infravalorado el trabajo de Andy y en general de The Smiths, pero son brillantes! Saludos
Great, it helped me to figure out two doubts i had on bigmouth... though i keep hearing a f# the end of the second main riff. insted you go down and well, it seems that it souds better...
This was awesome, thanks !
Nice bass, nice selection, well done. Very cool
Thanks!
Great Job Mate from Los Angeles! Andy is the most underrated bassist ever!
Really good.
Great video! Greetings from Monterrey, Mexico.
Nice Job!!
🤠
Freakin A bro...great sound ..great feel...great job G
You should do “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now” that’s my favorite of all their basslines.
nice play
The Smiths bass line is the best !!
bravo !!!! great !!!!!
Awesome dude! Love the bass and the Smiths too!
No “Hand In Glove”??
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They were 4 great musicians who didnt write one bad song
Perfect! More smiths!
"Stop Me If You Think Youve Heard This One Before" looks like a good string skipping exercise
Great work.
Thanx! Is that Carl Sagan with rabbit ears?
@@GuillermoLescano Hi, it’s Steve Martin during his standup days 😀
Te felicito Guillermo , genial sonido y hermoso bajo.
Saludos!
Muchas gracias!
Very good... Part 2...please!
Timing is spot on 👍
Great octaves! Muy bueno!
bass lines spin in my mind with my hands clasped with James Dean. 🤼🏼
Nailed Bigmouth ...always love that song
fantastic
Thankstastic
brilliant!
Thanx!
Absolutely perfect ... Rourke is God
That was very enjoyable to watch. Wow.
Where did you get your bass?
I bought it for 100 dollars on internet. Now I have a 800 dollars fender player and I miss it
The Smiths were genius
They tuned up! Who woulda thunk?
WONDERFUL
YOU ARE WONDERFUL
barbarism begins at home is great too!
Hand In Glove is probably the best!!
Oh Unitas, esa música si se puede oír
Flowers & Bamboo
Cortala Ok
Arriba la delincuencia
La ira no se advierte
Very nice to listen 👍
Dankeshön!
i want this tone, i seen rourkes equipboard and would go with that but anyone else have any other suggestions? (uploader, what do you use?) thanks...
Hi! 95% of the tone is just a clean P bass sound. Then EQ just a little. Cut trebble searching for a warm sound. I did this with a 100 dolar bass and a GK simulator. Im sure you can archieve this tone ;)
@@GuillermoLescano Thanks for quick response Guillermo, I have a P Bass myself im just thinking for when Im playing it live. Im going for a Boss CE-2 chorus effect pedal, and will look into either a Trace Elliot/Ampeg amp. Will cut on the treble though!!! Awesome video
Use light gauge strings, tune up to F#, and put some chorus on.
Great job my dude
Well done!
Nossa, muito bom! Parabéns!
DUDE!!! I love this videoooooooo
amazing! barbarism begins at home is another great bassline
Nice vid.
Gracias rey
Great!!!!
Excellent!
Great playing!
Are there Andy Rourke tabs anywhere?
Classics
What about Hand in Glove?
beautiful! deserves much more views
Thanks a lot!
