    Marr is the best melodic pop rock guitarist and tunewriter of the era; his tunes will remain on my playlists always. Morrissey took me a few listens to really appreciate his delivery but the humor and melancholy in his lyrics was always appreciated. I was surprised how much I liked his solo work but I have only recently been picking up on Marr’s latest releases and yes his vocals are right there. What a top group of musicians and with the solo stuff by Marr, so happy he continues the legacy.

      Anyone who's picked up a guitar will know how true this is. There's guitarists who get way more credit for flashy styles but I've been playing for twenty years and have never been able to replicate the subtleties of Marr's playing. He must be my favourite guitarist who I can't say I'm influenced by because I can't get close to anything he does.
      P.S Think you can just about bash this one out with Am, C, F,G though!
