    To this day! theres nobody in indie music who's surpassed the riffs of Johnny Marr. The guys style was in a complete and utter world of its own.

      I’d say John Squire as well, but Johnny is a tad better.

    Girl Afraid sounds like a Western cowboy Riff. You have to remember in the eighties the UK television was bombarded by westerns.
    Great riffs.

    Johnny Marr is so underrated as a guitarist. He’s a very skilled musician with superb compositions, not to mention an excellent executioner of his instrument(i.e.: an awesome guitar player).
    Congratulations for learning every single note and execute them on the top of each of them. Thanks mate!
    P.S.: Specially “Girl Afraid”, phew!
