Soulster Tonebook — For Fans of The Smiths, Vol. IV

£14.99

Built for guitarists working through the Smiths, Vol. IV catalogue (Indie Rock / Post-Punk), this guide gives each of ten songs its own spread: key, capo, tempo, difficulty, chord diagrams, and a progression map, with technique commentary centered on a fourth and final collection of the band's guitar catalogue.

Beyond the practice material, each chapter includes researched notes on the recording's background and its place in the catalogue — context that turns a chord sheet into a real understanding of the part. Laid out for quick reference while you're actually practicing.
