Nick Zinner is the gutiarist of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Zinner is long one of my favorite guitarists. He has an amazing musical aesthetic, truly original. While his style is not that of Johnny Marr, I have compare him to Marr. Just an anti-hero on the guitar. He makes everything effortless.
He wrote this fantastic piece call "41 Strings", it is a 4-movement piece for 41 stringed instruments. I'm partial to Spring myself, I think they really killed it on that one.

What I like about his Yeah Yeah Yeahs work, is that even when he is just playing chords, it is something more than that. There is really something to it.
