What’s your favourite riffs from Johnny Marr / The Smiths?

All you’ve done is prove 98.2% of any Smiths song is Johnny Marr.

The sad thing is that performers like Taylor Swift, Justin Beiber and Hannah Montana with be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and not The Smiths

So glad the headmaster ritual made the list. Such a great riff. You nailed it

It'll never cease to amaze me the kind of stuff Marr was able to come up with, like it's honestly amazing and the dude is just an absolute beast of a guitarist in general

Do John Squire next please!

Fantastic playing. What I loved about The Smiths is that they didn’t sound like anything else we were hearing at the time. Outside of a bit of rockabilly, it was hard to tell where Marr’s influences even came from.

Charming man has one the coolest guitar lines I've ever seen, it's so well constructed and catchy. Great performance mate btw.

Johnny wasn’t just a once in a generation guitarist, but a genuine one of a kind. The first time I heard “well, I wonder,” it stopped me dead in my tracks. I was cleaning my first apartment and my roommate had just bought the tape. I was a punk kid so the Smiths weren’t my bag…but as soon as he played that song I sat down on the couch and just knew I was listening to greatness.

I think the best riff is the barbarism begins at home

im convinced you didn't wanna learn some girls

Johnny Marr is a brilliant guitarist, and you played those parts amazingly!

Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others and That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore deserved a spot in this list! They're probably my favourites with The Headmaster Ritual

Great job. I love those riffs, songs and the unique Marr sound.

The Smiths had the most beautiful guitar riffs ever. Johnny Marr does such a brilliant job playing them 🎸👏

Really great work. Even though there's a new batch of 16 year olds discovering the Smiths every year there's a reason you never hear their songs being covered by those kids first bands.

The headmaster ritual really amazed me!

We are always on the same wavelength it’s crazy. Been doing a deep dive into Smiths lately. Marr is a legend

Lovely playing. Really capture the feel of the master.
