The Smiths' Headmaster Ritual on Rickenbacker 330 12 string video

Click on 'danielearwicker' and scroll down to find the link to the Primrose League's online store, where you can find my own songs for sale. The Headmaster Ritual appears as the opening track on the 1985 album MEAT IS MURDER by The Smiths. No idea if I'm playing it right, but I know it's in open D. It loses a lot without the excellent bass part though. Also Marr played a 360 with stereo output, whereas this is a 330 (as played on This Charming Man). Anyway, there aren't enough Ric 12 string videos on You Tube!
