This Charming Man

The Smiths

Learn how to play This Charming Man by The Smiths with this step-by-step guitar lesson inspired by Johnny Marr’s iconic picked rhythm style. In this tutorial, I show you how to recreate the fast, jangly picked and arpeggiated guitar parts that define this classic indie song, using a capo on the 2nd fret to match the original key and voicings.
