After learning to play this song, you come to realize how much John McGeoch influenced Johnny Marr. That iconic intro riff in Spellbound sounds like a Gothic interpretation of a Smiths song.

McGeoch was excellent. listen to his rhythm guitar on Definitive Gaze off the debut album Real Life by Magazine. Apparently, his best playing was for Public Image!? Anyway, this song and Israel are his best songs with the Banshees. If John Frusciante can say studying John McGeoch made him the guitarist he is, are YOU going to argue with him?

You pick good shit, solid post punk riffs. edit: also, this shit is right up my alley, basically how I play so I found it to be pretty natural. I can play this type of stuff and johnny marr type of stuff fairly easily but I can't "shred" for shit. I love watching shredders and metal players try to play this janglier arpeggiated type of style because it usually throws them way off.
