Wonderful Woman by The Smiths | Guitar Cover | Tab | Lesson

Originally released as a B-side on the 12" single of This Charming Man, this tune is less widely known largely because it doesn’t feature on any of the prominent band compilations. It's simpler arrangement and slower pace make it a relatively easier one to learn if you are trying to cop some of the Johnny Marr style/techniques from this era.

I've transcribed an abridged (minus a repeated verse & chorus) version based upon the way that Marr played this song live in 1983. You can see an example from a bootleg of an early Hacienda gig here:    • The Smiths - Wonderful Woman - Live  . You might notice in videos from this period that he doesnt use a capo - thats because he usually tuned his guitars up a whole tone.

For the audio, I'm using my Gibson ES330 re-issue into a DAW using the Amplitube 4 plugin, using Fender Twin & JC120 simulations. I also assembled a basic backing track and studied Andy Rourke's bass parts to get a decent approximation.
