It's cool that Marr and Peter Buck were taking things in a similar direction, at the same time. Almost like a conspiracy.

3:15 Sure love, its called a Rickenbacker jangle. Unless you happen to be playing a Jag or a Tele.

I like the Smiths but was never a die hard fan. I like Johnny's solo work and I am a big fan of indie and would rather listen to that than classic rock the latter being of my youth.

It's funny; I usually hate 80's music with a passion. But the Smiths are different. REM too.

Btw, telecasters are known for their twang but they can be super jangly tooIt's as much about the player as it is the guitarI saw X the other night and Zoom was playing the most beautiful Gretsch ever to walk the earth. It, like the Rickenbacker takes no prisoners and makes no apologiesJangle for its own sake can certainly be overdone by the imitators but guys like Marr and Buck made music that will last foreverNoel Gallagher said it best - Johnny Marr is so good even HE (Marr) can't play what he playsIt's the kind of genius where he might casually trot out some riff w/o even realising he's doing it and then consciously have to try to reconstruct what was an unreflective upon instantaneous flash of genius
