Yes, from what I've read, they both knew that they had found each other and were destined to be a songwriting pair. I still feel the weight of the tragedy even after all these years. I think it has to do also with knowing how difficult it is to find that ultimate musical partnership like they had. It's something sacred when it comes along. It's very rare.

Thanks. I was wondering if that stuff made any sense. Yes, JHS was definitely one of the greats and this solo has everything going for it.

[totalfloat]

Nice.

Yes JHS was a fantastic guitar player, but without the words of the talented Chrissie Hynde, those songs would not have been so timeless....No denying that she is a brilliant songwriter..since she has written great songs for 30+ years.

BIG thanks for this, it helped me complete this song after all these years!

Thank you for such a thoughtfullly put together lesson. The linked tab is also great. The best tab I've ever seen in fact. The footnotes on technique are wonderful. ("Start the solo and nail that little hammer on pull-off in the first bar. Land on the double stop (2nd fret with your ring finger and pinky) and play the G

string and slide them both up. Kind of understate the B string note...") And to overstate the obvious, it makes me appreciate the original recording all the more.

Excellent! Thank you for slowing it down so people can learn it. This has been a favourite solo of mine since the song was released. James Honeyman Scott was such a unique and wonderful guitar player. Cheers!
