Johnny Marr's multitrack guitar parts -
I remember reading an interview quote from Johnny Marr talking about how many of guitar parts he actually put down and recorded on 'this charming man'
I think he said he layered about 15 tracks down, which I was surprised by because at most I could only think of 2 or 3.
So I listened to some isolated parts of the master recording that are on the internet. he's what I can hear so I've played them and put them together to see how they sound not fully hidden in the mix.
1. The main riff
2. Riff double tracked
3. 12 string open ringing chords
4. Acoustic rhythm part
5. Acoustic doubling up with the electric on the Chorus
6. 12 string high octave parts for the chorus
7. Ringing out tremelo/rotary cabinet chord for the chorus
8. 4 harmonic notes also on the chorus.
9. A backward guitar part with loads of reverb/sustain/feedback that plays throughout but is only noticeable before the start of the verses
10. And I had to put Andy Rourkes bass part on as well, because it's so good to play
I'm missing 5 tracks but thats as close as I can get.
