Step into the melodic world of Andy Rourke with The Very Best of The Smiths – For Bass, featuring accurate transcriptions of 14 iconic tracks across 83 pages.
From the jangly pulse of “This Charming Man” to the haunting drive of “How Soon Is Now?” and the timeless “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out”, this collection showcases Rourke’s signature approach—bass lines that intertwine with the guitars, often acting as a lead voice rather than just rhythm support. A must-have for players looking to explore melodic bass work and dive into the sound that shaped a generation of UK indie and Britpop music.
