He was certainly the most perfect counter balance to Morrissey's voice.

Perfect for that band, and that style.

I'm not so sure, he is highly respected, quasi revered, in some circles.

He is definitely mentioned a lot - not like an Eddie Van Halen, of course, but definitely revered.

Criss Oliva, for example, would be a much more underrated player to me. The guy never even got interviewed by a guitar magazine before he passed away, which is just insane.

Did Marr do anything that "difficult" with a guitar or was his sound just a product of reverb, effects, and pedals?

I am just now dabbling in playing guitar and was just wondering.

Here Here.

I'm sure we could start another thread of underrated guitarists. Marr is certainly one as is my avatar guy.

I am going to see Moz in November!!

I'm probably the only other on here that knows who Criss Oliva was.
And I totally agree.

I can't answer that question, but you may get a better idea of the guitar work from this guy's covers since he focuses on the music only for the most part. How he recreated the effect in "How Soon Is Now" is pretty interesting.

Not just his voice, but his depressing lyrics too...

without Marr's jangly, upbeat guitar... the Smith's would have been hard to listen to.

I also agree that he is highly rated by a lot of people, but agree that he's not a general "guitar hero" to the people that schlep around the same ol names...
