Johnny Marr
The Smiths' guitarist and one of the most influential indie rock guitarists ever. Marr's intricate, jangly style combined Rickenbacker and Fender guitars with heavy use of chorus, tremolo, and delay to create shimmering, layered textures that defined the alternative rock guitar sound of the 1980s.
