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

    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.

    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
