@@bosa9133 cos your gay

Everyone just agrees that he’s a legend and leaves it at that

then proceeds to not get it right? timings all off.

@@G-G._ always one

Great quote from Noel Gallagher

Yeah this quote is so overused

@@ethanc1719 No.

That doesn’t make sense

@@ethanc1719 you mad bro?

***** get your ears checked mate

***** get your ears checked

***** you obviously dont have an ear for good music he made the classic work ever seen Morrissey with an instrument except a mic which isnt actually classed as an instrument

Thebigbowler by being a wizard.

Thebigbowler gift from above

And, as Noel Gallagher said, "Cool as fuck!"

¿Y Prince y sus solos? Eran bestiales y también hacía Pop.

​@@nosoynadie7653Prince was amazing but The Smiths music is absolutely unique.

but not enough considering his impact and contribution.

That is friggin hysterical. I watched him play his and thought the same thing....damn his guy.... listen to how awesome that is coming together.

It's not him. Every one of us has certain gifts and those gifts all come from God. The truth is none of us are that good or that creative... we channel the divine thru us... that is why God wants a relationship and wants to walk with us. You love this riff? Thank the Lord... He wrote it, and He's playing it... thru His son Johnny Marr.

​@@56squadron son of God? you're saying johnny marr is the second coming?

walter

@@Buccarado clements?

Exactly. Everyone plays it as lead - but of course it’s based on chord positions.

@@BabyBoomerChannel and he is playing 1 tone down to the original song...

@@felipecc2728 no he’s not

Go see him live. His versions of Smiths songs are, in my opinion, far better than Morrissey's. Marr's guitar is so essential to playing those songs properly.

@@LeGrandeOrange who's Morrissey?

LeGrandeOrange wow you’re deluded

@@skatinsatan6881 Morrissey died in the nineties, got hit by a double decker bus. Tragic really

Christopher Willcock-Irving Morrisseys lyrics were and are as beautiful and unique as Marr’s music. Together they wrote astonishing popular music. Lets not re-write history just because ( perhaps) you don’t now agree with Morrisseys political outlook.

Sam Kumar I agree that frusciante, greenwood, or even g coxon may be better guitar players than johnny marr. but johnny marr is a far better musician/composer that those three.

Ritche B Yes agreed. It all has to do with if you prefer talent for composition or guitar wankery skills.

BrandonD you can't really compare them, they have a completely different style

You try to compare technicians with an artist. so cute.

This is a nonsense comment "responding" to the "criticism." Virtually all of the comments on here are positive. Also, guitar sounds don't really come much cleaner than this. He is playing with zero gain and executing flawlessly.

For its Heaven knows....

Ryan Whiteside I'm going to have agree 1000%

how can you consciously contemplate - when there's no debate?

More Indie or Alt but yeah it's a brilliant song

I honestly prefer Heaven knows I'm miserable now

And mine!

Yes, I come back to it weekly.

agree!

I keep fantasizing ill see him play this on the tube one day busking

Me too I loved it so much I can now play the whole song start to finish.

Got a signed copy and shook his hand :)

@@Agos226 amazing

@@Agos226 same, he said "I hope you like it" and when I joked that I would keep the receipt and return it if it's shit he didn't find it funny. I was gutted 😂

​@@colinjames5643Lmao

Have you tried listening to dusk with The The. Especially the song “slow emotion replay” is good, and Johnny made one of the best harmonica Intros to that song aswell.

If you like it, that's great. I never ever cared for The The. Wahi' Valleys

That was one of his central ethics in The Smiths, no power chords.

I feel like he should have kept playing with Andy Rourke - their chemistry together is so incredible and while I give Marr the lions share of the credit because he wrote all this stuff, Rpurke’s basslines highlight and complement his playing so well. These songs were all created as great instrumentals and from there Morrissey probably couldn’t help but be brilliantly inspired. It seems like the songwriting process for Marr’s later projects was really different, he tried to fit in with other bandleaders instead of leading the way like with the Smiths. I don’t blame him given how the Smiths went, he took on too much responsibility during those years for it to be sustainable, but it was definitely his golden period as a songwriter.

His solo works the past handful of years have been pretty good tbh

😅👌

Aye. More inspiration than anything

ha! so did Bonehead!

OASIS

Oasis has some great tracks, but Noel Gallagher is a complete tool. The way he goes on is cringy to watch, embarrasses himself and I can’t really enjoy any of there music because of it

@@Deleted11100 I agree to a certain extent only disagreeing with you slightly because of his mended friendship with Damon Albarn. When they’re live together he’s there to play guitar and nothing else and you hardly even know he’s there, unlike him in the 90s where he was very egotistical and self centred.

oh, man... you're right!!

Omg yes! Makes sense since Johnny have Noel a few guitars! How cool?

I wonder where Oasis got that from? Maybe it's the mind control in the two guitars Johnny borrowed to Noel who knows 🤣

Oasis are derivative af

I thought of the Edge at 00:47.

Classic watchmojo lmfao

Ain't that hard tbh.

Top 10 Impossible Anime Guitar Riffs

subtlety.

Come on now. Top 5 yes.

100%

interesting point. what do you mean by the shapes being pretty if i may ask?

Same chord progression pretty much!

Noel loves to steal a wee tune I thought the same myself hahaha

Noel Gallgher stealing again LOL

lol ohhhhhhh Noel!

Morriseys guitarist just plays fucking power chords on this so yeah Johnny Marr is the GOAT

7 years ago eh? Oh well it may enlighten someone... he tuned the guitar up a whole step on the recording, equivalent to a capo on 2nd fret but tonally different. Never tried it myself, scared of snapping strings. Capo works well enough.

It is

@@goongoongoongoon Indeed. I was just watching the video of The Killers playing This Charming Man at Glastonbury where Marr joined them. He plays this with the capo on II. I can't begin to imagine how he got that high E string tuned up a full step without breaking it. It makes me cringe thinking about twisting that sucker...

If you run lighter gauge strings e.g super slinky’s, it is relatively easy

@@Majerly_Annoyed shorter scale lenghts like gibson's 24.75'' les paul (which Johnny used at the time) allow you to achieve a whole step up tuning with 009 or 008 gauge strings. Jaguars are 24'' so it's quite easy to get that tuning, but i guess musicians don't do that anymore by fear of breaking the strings when beding them. The Chameleons used to tune in the same manner.

Or Tony Montana.

nunca va a pasar

A lo mejor en 20 años. Jajaja.

??

Not me. Lol!

Alessandra Simón Illas XD I just remember watching an old commercial where there was a bunch of babys crawling around and the song was kinda like this i guess nobody gets it though :/

+El Padrino Haha lol

+El Padrino now that you say it hahah

Check out early Oasis live footage, Noel looks like he has the Marr look going on

@@TheGalwayFarmer lol is true 👍
