'A great book … fascinating' Jools Holland, Later With Jools Holland, BBC2
'If you are even remotely interested in guitars or the geniuses that play them you have to get a copy of Marr’s Guitars. A lush, mouthwatering masterpiece of a book' Shaun Keaveny
'What a love story this book is. The electric guitar - the greatest weapon ever given to the working class' Gary Kemp
'Guitars have been the obsession of my life ... they’ve been a mission and sometimes a lifeline' Johnny Marr
The 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.

Ein sehr schön aufgemachtes Buch für den Gitarrenliebhaber. Die Instrumente sind toll fotografiert, und zu jedem Instrument gibt es eine meistens recht humorvolle Beschreibung dazu, wie Marr zu diesem Instrument gekommen ist. Typisch britisch halt. Der grösste Teil der Instrumente sind nicht gerade im Museumszustand, sondern hier werden Instrumente gezeigt, die von einem der einflussreichsten E-Gitarristen der letzten 3 Jahrzente täglich benutzt werden. Sehr empfehlenswert!
Als Nicht-Fan trozdem sehr beeinruckt.

Ich habe das Buch geschenkt bekommen. Ich spiele zwar seit Jahren E-Gitarre, bin aber weder Fan von Johnny Marr, noch von den Smith. Das Buch hat eine sehr hohe Printqualität. Auf den Seiten sind hauptsächlich Bilder von seinen Gitarren. Zu Beginn gibt es zu jeder Gitarre auch ein paar Zeilen Text. Zwischendruch kommen immer mal ein paar Seiten eines längeren Interviews.
Auch als Nicht-Fan fand ich das Buch sehr interessant! Ich habe die Sendung von That Pedal Show mit Johnny Marr angemacht und habe nebenbei im Buch mitgeblättert. Ich behaupte einfach mal, dass es sich auch für jeden Fan lohnen wird!
