The Best The Smiths Guitar Solos

The Smiths became one of the most influential guitar bands of the 1980s without relying on conventional solos: Johnny Marr's layered arpeggios, tremolo textures and overdubbed hooks did the work. Their rare true lead breaks are treasured because they are so carefully arranged.
