Haha I heard that too! I’m pretty sure he asked to use one of Isaacs dusty unused guitars because his wasn’t going to be able to cut through Isaacs guitar style lol
It’s true! I read his book and he used one of Brock’s guitars, this was the first thing he played on it, and then he liked the guitar so much that he kept playing jaguars and jazzmasters.
Holy shit I’m a fan of modest mouse and the smiths and I had never realized Johnny Marr was a member of modest mouse before reading your comment. Such a cool cross over!
it’s crazy that he’s barring the high strings and still getting his thumb around the e string. or maybe it’s not, being that i’m using an acoustic guitar. i’ve been trying to nail this for days
+JoeyBooey The first time he met with the band Isaac asked him, "Is there a riff that kicks ass that you've just been sitting on and isn't in a song yet?" The result is Dashboard.
I don't think it gets much clearer than a fairly close up shot of the mans hands who actually wrote the guitar rift. It's not to hard to play along and figure it out and you know you're getting the real deal, not someones interpretation.
Solos come and go. Riffs are forever.
I love this riff! Johny Marr knows how to write a killer riff. As far as I know this was the first thing he played to them before he joined the band.

@@finestcustard5647 think he said it was a jaguar as well, not a guitar he had used much and now it’s his signature model
I did not know this that’s. Amazing

What I love about this riff isn't just that the chords are enjoyable but the tone matches perfectly. A musical wonder
This is one of my favorite Modest Mouse licks
Roblox National Railroad I believe he wrote it too.
He wrote it!
I could listen to this over and over.. Marr is my favorite guitarist ever
What a guitar player and what a cool guy long live Jonny marr😍
I learned the riff from this video, thank you kind internet man
Such a beautiful thing to listen to him play but also to watch him.
Such a beautiful tone
Slickest riff ever
I never knew I needed this channel or this video, but I do.
Brilliant riff
Imagine this as a Smiths song?? Oh my god
Imagine if he'd stayed with Modest Mouse a bit longer, who knows what they could have created?
isaac does it better than morrissey the racist doe
@@softskullbubblebrain Sure, whatever you say bubble brain.
Can we have the 10 hour version? :P
Right click on the video and press ‘loop’ if you genuinely want this, I don’t think I can blame you
Yes man
You keep putting up the best videos, I'll do my part and keep watching them.

YEAH !! 🎸
I'm with Jeffrey Fago...love Johnny!
This is just nasty. (Very very good.)
Damn bro
I can imagine this being a vacation theme from Huawei
Spacer - nile rodgers
Don't even like the song much, but that is a typically killer Johnny Marr riff.
same, song is OK riff is legendary
can somebody tell me if johnny wrote this riff?
he did.
Fun fact: it was also the first track modest mouse laid down with Marr.
ZenZill this is also true.
amazing. such a fun track

Im practice difficult
I need a tab for this!!!!

well you just got smacked with some wisdom boy
@@ptythefool yup that just looks like variations of the typical hendrix chord
I guarantee that with this sort of attitude, this guy has not progressed much if at all in the four years since he made this comment.
Sorry Lads but Daniel Earwicker version is far superior! :)
Fidel lol
But Johnny is the one who made this riff...
There are lots of technically excellent guitarists. But most of them, including Mr. Earwicker, don't write riffs like this.
