Johnny Marr plays riffs from The Smiths, TheThe, The Kinks

Johnny Marr plays "What Difference Does It Make?" and "The Headmaster Ritual" (and more) and talks about Fender amps in an interview shot at the Seedy Underbelly Studios for Fender in Los Angeles during the mixing of The Cribs album "Ignore The Ignorant" in 2009.

[darcythornton]

@18kkrr This edited video is from four separate videos that Fender produced in 2009, with Johnny Marr discussing various Fender amps. The links to those videos are in the description above.

@geobruf123  That's a shame, you must not have really listened to what Johnny's done since The Smiths to say that.

Legend.

[rabiddaffy]

What amp is he playing at 4:40?

[ruben1million]

Johnny Marr was the actual leader of the Smiths and the one who actually broke the band. Steven Morrissey was his sidekick.

On the 6:34 the headmaster ritual riff is amazing! Marr is my hero!
