Wham! - Last Christmas

"Last Christmas" is a pop classic by Wham!, written, performed, and produced by George Michael and released on 3 December 1984 via CBS Records. The song draws on a personal narrative of a Christmastime breakup, giving it an emotional core that translates well beyond its synth-pop arrangement. For electric guitar players, it offers a rewarding challenge in recreating its melodic hooks and lush chord progressions with a clean or light chorus tone.

  • George Michael wrote 'Last Christmas' in February 1984 and recorded it in August of the same year.
  • The track was released as a double A-side alongside 'Everything She Wants' in several European countries.
  • Despite its synth-driven production, the song's chord progressions adapt naturally to electric guitar in a clean-tone setting.

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.
