Smithereens guitarist Jim Babjak shows us the band's greatest guitar riffs and solos!
Jim Babjak, a founding member of the Smithereens (one of the greatest New Jersey bands of all time, people!), recently visited Guitar World HQ in NYC to play — and dissect — some of his favorite Smithereens riffs and guitar solos. Fun fact: The Smithereens and Guitar World were both founded in 1980! https://www.officialsmithereens.com/ To subscribe to Guitar World (13 issues for $21.99), step right this way! https://www.magazinesdirect.com/GWYT 0:18 "Blood and Roses" 3:59 "One Look at You" 4:36 "Drown in My Own Tears" 4:49 "Top of the Pops" 5:01 "Spellbound" 5:51 "Listen to Me Girl" 7:42 "Something New" 9:48 "Behind the Wall of Sleep" 12:00 "Only a Memory" 13:15 "A Girl Like You" 16:25 "Sorry" 18:15 "Drown in My Own Tears" (again!) 19:50 "Miles from Nowhere" #Jimbabjak #smithereens #thesmithereens
