Johnny Marr - 'Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others' - Fender Jaguar 

Some riffs are better than others

2:00 "Very, very simple chords but the sound is pretty pleasing, you know". Ha! "pretty pleasing". Understatement of the century.

"The sound is pretty pleasing" wow what an understatement

I'm not depressed anymore, but you saved my live Marr & Morrissey, you really did.

I cried a tire of joy when I heard him play -'Some girls are bigger than others'

His rhythmic precision is astounding. You can really see it when he plays "Some Girls"

I could sit and watch him talk about Smiths riffs for days. weeks.... the man is a living legend.

Johnny is truly a genius.

"Very simple chords but the sound is pretty pleasing" says the creator of one of the most original guitar parts in rock & pop.

1:10 is giving me goosebumps

"The sound is very pleasing". What an understatement.

This riff is so good actually holy SHIT

He's amazingly charming and down to Earth. Chatted him up after his SF gig a week ago. Humble and so passionate about music. When I told him he inspired me to play guitar 28 years ago, he didn't bask in his priase...he asked me what guitar I played. Plus...he's a guitar genius.

The fact that a guitarist at his level takes any time to explain guitars, amps and music the way Johnny Marr does speaks volumes about his character. Seems a very humble man despite enormous success & heaps of accolades. Thanks Johnny.

The most magical guitar player of all times

1:15 - heart skips a beat 1:48 - heart FAILURE

WOW !! What a moment hearing him play 'Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others'.. I cannot even begin to articulate how much I fucking LOVE that song - & in particular Johnny's beautiful guitars, particularly the fade out where Mike Joyce goes on to the ride symbol & one of the overdubbed guitars goes 'blip, blip' in stereo - right at the end. My God I love hearing that SO much !! God bless those guys for all time !! Peace Rx

The guy gave us some great music, and he was so young back then.

Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others, what a great song!

This man is the most creative guitarist since Hendrix. The world is full of technically brilliant players. But you dont remember a clone who can play a million notes a second. You remember the player who SOUNDS LIKE NOBODY ELSE. And that is Johnny Marr.

At 1:11 begins the most beautiful piece of music ever devised. “Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others” is an underrated gem!

This is so beautiful, I'm crying.

He's one gifted man that Mr. Marr.....😊

I could listen to him play all day. I don't even need to hear the rest of the band. Marr is enough!

kinda funny how he just nails this difficult-ass guitar riff and goes "its very simple.." lol

DROOL! Johnny blows my mind!

I could listen and watch Johnny playing guitar forever. He's just amazing.

Yes, the sound IS pretty pleasing! :-)

1:12-1:36 Everything I love about music and guitar playing.

"very simple chords... but the sound is very pleasy"... How soon is now! Just unbelievable what Marr did with that simple chords and sound... expression, feeling, emotion... Genius!!!

Chords that drove roots right into my soul.

Frighteningly talented man

spine tingling excellence

when someone plays the guitar dont film the fucking headstock and the wall

what a truly beautiful riff - one of the few times its actually improved without morrisseys lyric.

1:12 your soul goes to heaven

i get goosebumps every time i hear that riff

Some Girls is one of his best ever tunes. Just perfect.

Very simple... after having played one of the catchiest and most recogisable riffs ever. What a legend! I was just wondering... could the SGABTO riff be the most melodic riff ever in the history of music?

Yes, the sound IS pretty pleasing!

Johnny is a f'n legend. Guitar master

The man changed everything! Just beyond Genius! Supper cool as well!

johnny makes it look so easy , so inspiring ..makes you want to go out and buy a fender jaguar he's a wizard , a magic melodic living legend

Johnny is bringing songs to life like nothing is more natural in the world. Making it look so easy to write and play such music.

Just three chords and 10 seconds of a riff makes me fucking melt

He is by far the best and him + morrissey is a match from heaven my fav band ever i wish they make a reunion i'll cross the world for it

1:11 such a beautiful song...

such magical sounds

love his sound. a true legend.

Just show his fingers dammit!

No sign of strumming when Johnny's around ❤️

Jesus the guy just belting out the greatest sounds in music history like something straight of the albums.

Close your eyes for the most beautiful 24 seconds ever from 1:11

Sales of Fender Jaguars went up after this was uploaded....

They couldn't show his left hand while playing "Some Girls"? The camera guy obviously isn't a guitar player.

Having listened to The Smiths and playing guitar for most my life, I never really seen Johnny play close up. Pretty amazing to me seeing him dissect his style and sound.

I dont know how you manage, but your sound is so perfect that I could not think of anything better, magic, in my country Spain you are a god, and we know about music, believe me. Thank you for such a beautiful music.

As Anthony said to Cleopatra As he opened a crate of ale : This sound is fucking sweet!! :'D

I love this guy's playing and what he writes. Great stuff!

He is such an amazing guitar player.

This will start your morning off right.

How to be happy in 25 seconds... That riff gets me chills

this is magic. johnny marr's playing stands out head and shoulders above any other guitar player i can think of, mostly because he created something utterly new by synthesising so many different styles. he's a living example of the value of having widespread influences.

...one of many reasons im playing the jaguar..

Amazing

cheers for the upload! it's mint, this

This guy should be ranked alongside Hendrix.

One Word GENIUS !!!

Bealtiful!!!

thanks for sharing this darcythorton!

Coolest video I've seen in a while.

Greatest sounds!

so much talent ,so modest.

pure majestic

So great.

The Smiths are the only band I love without particularly liking the lead singer. It's mainly because of JOHNNY MARR!

If only he would play the whole thing, start to finish.

Undoubtedly an out and out genius!

lovely guitar and chords , a master. john is

Johnny's a genius.

Amazing !!!

There is but one concern I have just discovered 😷Fender. Thanks again Johnny the legend!🤘

perfect!

loopy20000 you hit the nail on the head there.

Really good sounding Jag

I dont think he thinks. He just makes magic.

Fenders one of the best if not sounds

I could easily watch Johnny talk about music while casually playing Smiths riffs all day 😄💙🎸

Johnny and Bernard Butler are my fav 90s guitarists

Que hermoso ese solemne solo, se siente cómo una caricia al alma y no sé por qué.

Jag You Are

LEGENDDDDDD

Genius. That Some Girls are Bigger Than Others' arpeggio stuff is beautiful.
