A stunning photographic presentation of the guitars that defined
the distinctive sounds and style of Johnny Marr with personal
reflections and insights from the legendary guitarist
himself."Guitars have been the obsession of my life . . . they've
been a mission and sometimes a lifeline."--Johnny MarrThe
guitarist's guitarist, Johnny Marr redefined music for a
generation. His ringing arpeggios and chordal innovations helped
elevate The Smiths to be one of the most influential and important
British bands of all time.Tracing Marr's career from his teenage
years to his recent work on the Bond soundtrack, Marr's Guitars
showcases the most significant of Marr's superb collection of
electric and acoustic guitars, revealing through them the evolution
of his iconic sound and style of playing. Each guitar is identified
with a crucial moment, a specific song, or a particular sound, and
each embodies a key aspect of Marr's lifelong passion.Renowned
photographer Pat Graham presents each instrument as a full
portrait, supported by micro shots highlighting the specific
details that make each one unique, while Johnny Marr himself
reveals in his accompanying commentary on what tracks and at which
shows the guitars were played. Many of the guitars are closely
associated with Marr, such as the Rickenbacker 330, the Gibson
ES-355 and the Johnny Marr Signature Fender Jaguar. Some were
passed down to him, including Nile Rodgers' Stratocaster, Bryan
Ferry's Roxy Music Hagstrom and Bert Jansch's Yamaha. Others are
guitars once owned by Marr that have since been passed on to the
next generation of guitar heroes, including the Stratocaster used
by Noel Gallagher on "Wonderwall" and the Gibson Les Paul Goldtop
used on In Rainbows by Radiohead's Ed O'Brien.Punctuating the
photography of the guitars and the accompanying commentary are
contextual studio, backstage, and onstage shots. Together, they
make Marr's Guitars a unique cultural history of modern music and
guitar playing told through the prism of Johnny Marr's experiences
and achievements.
