Chains


"Chains" is a 2014 R&B single by Nick Jonas, released as the lead single from his self-titled second album via Island and Republic Records. The track is built around kick drum-driven beats and trap-influenced bass drops, creating a moody, rhythmic foundation that translates well to electric guitar. Its sparse, groove-oriented instrumentation makes it a solid choice for guitarists looking to explore R&B and trap-influenced playing styles.

  • The song was written and produced by Jason Evigan, with co-writing from Ammar Malik and Danny Parker.
  • "Chains" features trap-style bass drops at the intro and bridge, offering guitarists a chance to explore genre-blending R&B textures.
  • Lyrically, the song explores feeling trapped in a hopeless love, giving it an emotionally driven tone that suits expressive guitar phrasing.

Fender Stratocaster

Nick Jonas relies on the Fender Stratocaster's bright, articulate single-coils to cut through pop arrangements with clean rhythm work and effect-laden leads. The stock setup's natural clarity pairs perfectly with his space-heavy reverb and delay textures, avoiding muddiness in dense vocal-forward mixes.
