solo from
Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want
by The Smiths
played with extremely quick picking that is difficult to emulate
rather than write out the exact note values for you, i'm going to assume that
you can find a copy of the record to play along with. the only tricky part
here is the length of time that the f# at the end of the first line is played
for. it begins on beat one of a measure and is held through beat one of the
next, which sounds simple, but timing the pull off afterwards can be tricky,
not to mention the fact that all of this is played with mazingly controlled
speed picking. note also that the solo ends on the 5th scale degree of A augmentedA and
not the first, which gives it an unresolved sound that will sound wrong if you
play this without the backing chords. however, i can guarantee that it's
right (thanks to helen and sam...).
