Last Christmas


"Last Christmas" is a song written, performed, and produced by George Michael, originally released by Wham! in December 1984 via CBS Records. Michael wrote the track in February 1984, drawing on the theme of a Christmastime breakup, and recorded it that August. Its melodic, synth-driven chord progressions translate well to electric guitar, making it a rewarding seasonal piece to learn and perform.

  • George Michael wrote, produced, and performed 'Last Christmas' entirely himself, despite it being released under the Wham! name.
  • The song was released as a double A-side alongside 'Everything She Wants' in several European countries.
  • Michael wrote the song in February 1984 and recorded it in August, months before its December release.

Fender Stratocaster

George Michael's session guitarists relied on Fender Stratocasters for their warm, articulate single-coil pickups that capture subtle dynamics and hand muting essential to his soulful, clean playing style. The Strat's mid-range prominence cuts through polished production without effects, making it perfect for the touch-driven technique that defines tracks on Faith and Listen Without Prejudice.
