This Charming Man guitar work

Hi there,
Is this charming man hard to play on guitar? I heard its meant to be the hardest thing to play. I've looked on the net for the tabs and their all wrong, does anyone really know how to play it(I can't read music mind). I can get most Marr chords, their easy if you break it down, he relied too much on overdubs to make it sound harder than it is, hence why live he always sounds weak(er) what do you all think?
Someone should make a dvd on how to play smiths songs on the guitar - Make a fortune I think.
Hope you can help,
Jamie

It's a tricky one for sure.. I'll get back to you after I plug myself in (sotospeak).. it's a toughie.. No guarantees of translation!

Like your commercial acumen, but a 'how to' DVD would sell well to a hundred people here.. but not many else though! Just get a floppy wrist and strum.. let the feel overtake you.. passion over technique any day. (is that guitars I'm still talking about!)

I once could do a very lame version of the opening chords based on tabs that i found on the internet, but i maybe got it right once out of 20 tries.

I'll use this as a starting 'template'.. unfortunately I was out last night.. I was, errmm, very engrossed in 'personal activity' to play with my axe.

What were YOU doing last night??
Um, on second thought, maybe I don't want to know, because you might ask me what I was doing in the afternoon.

What was I doing!! haha.. You'll probably guess correctly.. let's say that the hills were alive with excited cries! And the only G string I was playing wasn't the fat one on my guitar!

And as for you? I won't ask then, but I kinda wish i could have been there, or seen what you were doing in the afternoon.. Who knows where an enigmatic Devil goes. I hope whatever you get up to makes you happy.

Yours, as always,

I did!!! I'm like the Miss Cleo of Morrissey-solo and I can look into my crystal ball and know all!!

Me? I was sick in bed Monday afternoon coughing, raspy voice, wet with fever, heart racing, out of breath, and barely could move. Staying in bed all afternoon must have worked because my cold is almost gone.

Ahh, sorry to hear of your palpitations Miss C.. Glad to hear the stint in bed cleared your tubes. What you needed was a nice long chest rub to alleviate that stuffed up feeling you must have had at the time!

Ready with his syruppy linctus. (good lord..!)

thank you Ruffian. Whats in your linctus? I think its the one time I finished all of the medication even if I was feeling better. Whats in it, you ought to patent it.

Well Devils, it contains a unique formula.. bit like the Coke recipe, I keep the manufacture of it very secret, in two private locations somewhere in England, but always in full, constant production.. I'd bottle it up and send it but 2000 miles in a cargo hold of a 747 might affect it's magical life giving properties! Best administered from source.. in a kneeling or prone position!

So I have heard, the conditions have to be perfect, not to hot and not to cold. So is this manufacturing plant open to the public or is it by private invitation only?

It has to be hot for best use, cool before hand.. you're right!... It's open for private showing only. Only 1 place available though.. (This elixer relishes loyalty) and the place is already! Positions to be discussed!
