About Rockstar

At 92 BPM in Db minor, "Rockstar" sits in a slow, heavy groove that rewards a guitarist who leans into feel rather than speed. The song is built around a sparse, repeated minor-key guitar figure that loops hypnotically, so locking in with the track and staying perfectly in the pocket is the real challenge. E Standard tuning keeps things accessible, but Db minor means you will be working around barre chord shapes and upper-fret positions that can feel awkward at first. Post Malone blends Pop Rock sensibility with trap-influenced production here, so the guitar parts are intentionally understated, sitting low in the mix rather than cutting through. Getting the tone right, something dark and slightly compressed, matters as much as the notes themselves. If the chord transitions feel slippery at tempo, use the Practice Toolbar to loop just those bars slowed down until your fretting hand stops hesitating.

  • The song sits in Db minor, so expect barre-heavy shapes and upper-fret voicings that need deliberate finger placement to ring cleanly.
  • At 92 BPM the groove is slow and sparse, meaning any timing hesitation or muted note is immediately noticeable in the mix.
  • A dark, compressed clean-to-slightly-dirty tone suits the guitar parts far better than a bright or heavily distorted sound.

Gibson Les Paul Standard

Producer Andrew Watt's 1959 Les Paul adds warmth and sustain on heavier moments like 'Take What You Want,' using PAF-style humbuckers to balance Post's lighter tones with rich, compressed breakup.

Gibson Les Paul Custom

Gibson Les Paul Custom

The Custom variant offers deeper, more sustained tones from its humbucker configuration, ideal for Post Malone's darker, more aggressive guitar passages that require weight without excessive compression.

Fender Deluxe Reverb
Amp

Fender Deluxe Reverb

This blackface amp's warm, slightly compressed clean tone and natural tube headroom define 'Circles' and similar Post Malone tracks, delivering the lush, spacious character essential to his atmospheric sound.

Boss CE-2 Chorus

The CE-2's lush modulation is critical to Post Malone's signature shimmering tone, adding movement and depth to clean guitar parts when combined with reverb for maximum atmospheric impact.
