We need to start a petition for Johnny to do an album of just acoustic solos of Smiths songs, with no singing or instruments.

@Deco Electra That already exists. There are loads of tracks on KZitem with him singing, and full instrumentation. It's also not about not wanting to hear singing... I don't want to hear other instruments either. I simply want to hear Johnny on guitar, playing Smiths songs and whatever else. He is a guitar God, after all. These little snippets he does are excruciating... because they just tease me, and I don't get to hear the whole song.

There is something really enjoyable about listening to him playing Smiths guitar parts without any vocals or other instruments, but these clips are much too short.

He’s amazing , so jealous . I try to play but suffer from rheumatoid arthritis which has malformed fingers and thumbs . At one point I started selling my guitars as I could not stand to see them. But then an acoustic from a skip with 3 strings landed on my lap and I started mucking about on it. seeing Johny one of my all time heroes use a capo set me off using one. helps me form chords with limited movement . Seeing Mr Marr thrash that acoustic , it’s inspiring. Pass me more pain killers , i need to learn cemetery gates ….
