Girl Afraid by The Smiths

Time for another Smiths lesson, kids. Someone in the YouTube comments described this as the Mount Everest of Johnny Marr guitar parts which I think is about right. Certainly very challenging, but very satisfying to play once you get the hang of it.

Tab and Backing Track

A detailed and accurate tab can be found on my Patreon page (pay what you like). You’ll also be able to download my backing track and play along.
