.Johnny_Marr on his storied career, the evolution of his guitar playing, and memories with a certain Smiths ex-bandmate who shall not be named
“These days, if I’m going to sing a Smiths song, I almost just feel like I’m the leader, and I’m just starting everybody off. Those songs seem to belong to everyone. I just feel like it’s a celebration.” Photo-Illustration: Vulture; Photo by Clare Muller/Redferns Are you famous enough to be credited with inventing a word? Johnny Marr is — guitarchestra, which refers to the orchestration of a song being built upon five or more guitars at once.
Over the years, I’ve gotten much more experience in getting good guitar sounds. I’m less impatient. When I joined the band the The The in 1988, I had to learn a whole load of new sonic tricks to reproduce a lot of stuff from the early records. And then in Modest Mouse, I was required to make quite a lot of strange noises that they put on in production on some of their previous records. And then, of course, doing the movies. I guess it’s just all experience now, really.
There’s quite a lot of things that I’ve done over the years that have got kind of an American sort of tilt to it. “How Soon Is Now?”, the music anyway, was inspired by mostly American musicians and a little bit of Germany. There was a band out of the ’80s called the Gun Club with Jeffrey Lee Pierce, and they did a song called “Run Through the Jungle,” which was a Creedence Clearwater cover. That was a little bit of inspiration behind “How Soon Is Now.
Most overrated guitar chord G major. Fucking horrible. G major should be something you do that is in passing. It should be something that passes or helps you get from A to B, you know? It’s like the Starbucks of the chord world. It should be something that you just need to go through to go somewhere else.
