This Charming Man

[elko]

Not sure how many people play guitar at all, but here is the best tab I've found for This Charming Man.

I'm strating to get a bit of fluidity going, but as I play with fingers rather than plectrum it sounds a little odd when switching from single notes to chords. Can anyone confirm my suspiscion (sp) that one note in the chorus is wrong - in the 4th bar, the 9th on the g string (an 'E'), should be one fret down (D#)? Sounds picky but it doesn't seem right otherwise. I've tried to highlight the note that sounds odd here...


e-------------------------------------9------------9----------------------
B--------10-------------9--------10---10------------9----------10------
G-----11----11-------9---9--11---------------9-------------11----11-----
D--12-------------11------------------------9-------------12---------------

Can anyone confirm that? Can anyone even understand what I'm talking about? <!--emo&:blink:--><!--endemo-->

OK, a rough idea of what it sounds like...any suggestions?

Ooh, very good! Heehee, I had fun singing along and looking like a fool... Wish I could play the guitar. <!--emo&:(--><!--endemo-->

Sounds great, elko! I get the concept of the chords in writing, but it's painstakingly slow to when you don't know the chords to begin with. Bookmarked quite a few Smiths tab sites when my son got his guitar for his 4th over the summer. That excitement lasted a couple of weeks. Not that it would have done me any good! <!--emo&:lol:--><!--endemo--> Even found an on-line guitar tuner!

Where's the guitar tuner?

Nice one!
Is your son still going with the guitar then?

[Still Ill]

He strums it now and then. He loves music, has more interest in what's playing on the radio than my older son, so I think he'll look at the guitar in a different light when he's much older. Maybe lessons then, if he chooses!

My brother taught himself somehow. He can play this charming man, bigmouth strikes again, panic and please please please let me get what i want. He plays all sorts of stuff, i think he can play a cppl of more smiths songs but i will have to find out

Hard to say, I learned it by ear. The intro and the first bit are a piece of cake. But now I have a rough time with the "a jumped-up pantry boy" part.
