• Song:

    Paint A Vulgar Picture Solo

  • Artist:

    The Smiths

Tabbed by: Andrew Cochran


Of course, this song is not my own, nor is it from a songbook or anything like that, its 
my ear. Music is original Johnny Marr gold. I've been playing for a couple months, and 
wondered if I could take a successful stab at tabbing a Marr solo, seeing as they
aren't too flashy and whatnot. This is just a guideline to point you in the semi-
right direction 
on what I hear. If this is misleading to anyone, I appologize in advance, I do
not claim to be a professional, hell, i hardly even call myself half-way decent,
but I'm pretty sure this is the jist of it. Near the end, its a little iffy, but
you're probably a better guitarist than I, so improvise if it sounds wrong. Feel
free to contact me to either give 
constructive criticism or compliments. Hope this does someone good. Enjoy!

Thats basically what I gathered. I probably am wrong at parts, but for the most part i 
its alright. Please feel free to contact me. Cheers.
