Ellie Goulding - On My Mind - Acoustic Guitar Lesson

Fender Stratocaster

Ellie Goulding's live band guitarists use Strats for their single-coil sparkle and articulate clean tone that cuts through her synth-heavy arrangements. The instrument's bright, transparent character perfectly delivers the shimmery, ethereal textures her songs demand.

Fender Telecaster

Telecasters provide the crisp, bell-like clarity that complements Goulding's layered production with pristine single-coil definition. Their snappy attack and articulation ensure each note remains distinct even when drenched in reverb and delay.

Fender Twin Reverb

The Twin Reverb's legendary headroom and pristine clean channel are essential for Goulding's ambient guitar textures, allowing reverb and delay to bloom without any distortion or muddiness. Its glassy tone sits perfectly behind her ethereal vocals.

Fender Deluxe Reverb

This compact powerhouse delivers the same bell-like clean character as the Twin Reverb with slightly less headroom, ideal for Goulding's spacious, lush reverb-soaked guitar sound in smaller venues and studio settings.

Boss CE-2 Chorus

The CE-2 adds that synth-like shimmer to Goulding's arpeggiated passages, thickening the guitar texture while maintaining clarity. Its subtle modulation enhances the ethereal, ambient quality her music requires.
