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!
