Maurice Deebank is a Classically trained English guitarist. He was the co-founder and lead-guitarist of the British indie band Felt from its debut ddalbum until 1985, and was responsible for the ornate, atmospheric guitar work found on many of the band's early recording. During his tenure in Felt he co-wrote most of its material with frontman Lawrence. He is considered to be a prodigy, a unique compositional voice and "father of indie guitar". He has also been cited as a major influence by the Smiths' Johnny Marr, as well as many other mainstream and alternative indie acts. But unfortunately, Deebank is on the autism spectrum. He was voted into Guitar Players of all time in 2007.
