The Best The Pretenders Guitar Solos

The Pretenders fused punk energy with pop craft, and James Honeyman-Scott's melodic, chiming leads were central to their early sound. After his death in 1982, Robbie McIntosh and guest Billy Bremner carried on his tradition of short, song-serving solos that are as hooky as the vocals.
