Johnny Marr

I’ve created a lot of content for fellow Johnny Marr enthusiasts.

First up are the lessons. These contain a play through of the song followed by a detailed breakdown of the guitar parts.

Then there are the videos with animated tab, the majority for the 1983-85 era of The Smiths. This represents two hours worth of performances, give or take, of possibly the most accurately transcribed and played Marr-related content you can find. I’ve also published some straight up cover videos where I play the guitar track with no backing.

I don’t like to waste notes, not even one. I like to put the right note in the right place, and my influences have always been those kinds of players. Keith Richards comes to mind, and I really like Nils Lofgren’s soloing, because he’s so melodic. I love John Lennon’s rhythm playing, and George Harrison was an incredible guitarist.
