Jonathan Thomas Squire (born 24 November 1962)〔Larkin, Colin (ed.) (1998) ''The Virgin Encyclopedia of Indie & New Wave'', Virgin Books, ISBN 0-7535-0231-3〕 is an English musician, songwriter and artist. Squire is best known as the guitarist for the Stone Roses, a rock band in which he formed a songwriting partnership with lead singer Ian Brown. After leaving the Stone Roses he went on to found the Seahorses and has since released two solo albums. Squire is also an accomplished painter and announced in 2007 that he was giving up music for good to fully commit to painting. He did however then return to music when the Stone Roses reformed in 2011. As a contemporary of Johnny Marr of the Smiths, Squire was amongst the most accomplished British rock guitarists of the 1980s, known for his chiming melodies, spiraling riffs and live solos. He was voted the 13th greatest guitarist of the last 30 years in a national 2010 BBC poll. ==Early life== He was born in Broadheath, Altrincham, Cheshire.〔 Squire grew up on Sylvan Avenue in Timperley, around the corner from Ian Brown, and after attending Heyes Lane Junior School, he passed the eleven plus exam and went on to attend Altrincham Grammar School for Boys. He excelled at art as a child. He formed a close friendship with Ian Brown during their last two years at school after Ian helped him out in a fight with a school bully. The two also then bonded over a shared love for punk rock, particularly the Clash.〔 The two (Squire and Brown) moved on to South Trafford College after passing O-Levels. Ian did not last long before getting expelled and John dropped out shortly after in order to start a band. Although Squire had a couple of guitar lessons, he was largely self-taught. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Squire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
