“There’s politics in it, there’s obsession in it, there’s romanticism in it, there’s poetry in it, and there’s your own personal relationship to it. It’s an entire world really.” – Johnny Marr

This web series hosts some of the world’s most innovative guitar players, and that is exactly the type of person Johnny is.

He also delves into his relationship with Ernie Ball from the very beginning which is pretty sick and very inspiring.
