Hello everyone! It's been quite some time since I looked at any Johnny Marr, so this week I'm bringing you my take on another Smiths classic, Barbarism Begins at Home. There are a couple of typically brilliant and intricate riffs, and also a great funky outro section.

I've tabbed it all out below, including a couple of alternate options for the riffs that I talk about in the video. Picking directions are included too as I think it's important to get that right if you want the riffs to flow properly at speed. No backing track for this one, as I decided to play unaccompanied. But you can always try playing along with the record - just remember to put a capo on at the second fret.

Hope you enjoy it.

Speak next week!

- Adrian
