Chords for Johnny Marr and his Rickenbacker 330 (Imagine: The Story of the Guitar)

Can't really say too much more really.
_ _ _ _ [B] _
[G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ [Em] _ A lot [G] of [F#] rock and roll guitar players or [A] punk guitar players will do this.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [D] Okay, [E] which has its place but I would say [A] take those chords and instead of playing like that.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F#] Just technically and musically [Fm] the same chords but just with a different sort of colouring.
[Gm] So I try and be a bit more [A] bigger and flowy.
Which [C] _ _ [Bm] _ [A] _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ isn't a [A] million miles away then leads you [A] to like that [C] _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
[G] kind of thing.
So [D] it was a kind of [D#] a_
I wanted to sound like [G] an entire record when I played.
[B] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
Johnny Marr wrote some of the [E] most distinctive and [B] most loved guitar tunes of the 1980s.
[Bm] The jangling of his [E] rickenbacker was central [B] to the sound of the Smiths.
If you've got a certain [F#] vocabulary on the guitar and know [G] how to play, how you [F#] feel.
You can sort of express that and kind of voice [G] it without all the hassle of turning it into words and concepts.
Do you know what I mean?
_ [D#] Music's less kind of_
for me you don't have to _ translate _ to make [G] your point.
Or just_
you don't even have to be making a point.
It's like _ turning your daydreams into sound.
_ [B] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _
[G#] _ _ It's all kind of _ ringy and melodic and there's a lot of emotion in it I think. _
[F#] So I kind of_
I play that way because that's the way I feel really.
The Smiths riff [C#] that Johnny Marr is most proud of is the [G#m] one on How Soon Is [G#] Now.
[B] At the time, the melody [F#] maker praised its visceral power, capable of blowing the dust off [E] 80s inertia.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
I'm really proud of it because I've done something that _ people don't even like the band like the riff.
The song didn't have that tremolo on it at first.
It was initially me just going_
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [B] _ _ Which is [D#] pretty cool.
But I [G] thought it needed something.
So after we'd recorded it, in the recording process, I had the idea of putting it through the tremolo.
[F#] And _ _ _ [G#] that goes way back because I had_
[D#] The genesis of that idea came from_
_ Started off Hamilton Bohannon, _ Disco Stomp.
_ [F#] When I was a kid I was absolutely [Fm] obsessed over that [F#] record.
And the rhythm is that kind of_ _ _ _
And I think because of that, every time I heard anything like that, so obviously everything that Bo Diddley did.
And particularly Hey Moaner by Bo Diddley.
And there was a_
[G]
I Want More by Canne as well.
[A#] _ _ Whenever I heard that sound, it just kind of went in there.
Until eventually it just came out and the whole_
The kind of mother [F#] of riffs really.
_ _ [E] I think in all honesty my dream [F] guitar is_
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
A Rickenbacker 12 string.
_ _ _ _ [N]
But 20ft long.
20ft high through a 20ft Fender amp.
That would be it.
A 20ft Rickenbacker 12 string through a 20ft Fender amp.
I'm getting there.
