Send Me an Angel

"Send Me an Angel" is a power ballad by German rock band Scorpions, featured on their 11th studio album, Crazy World (1990). Composed by Rudolf Schenker and sung by Klaus Meine, it became one of the album's signature tracks alongside "Wind of Change," reaching number eight on the US Mainstream Rock Chart. For electric guitarists, the song offers an approachable blend of clean arpeggiated passages and melodic lead work, making it a rewarding study in expressive, restrained playing.

  • The song was composed by rhythm guitarist Rudolf Schenker, showcasing his melodic sensibility beyond pure rhythm playing.
  • "Send Me an Angel" peaked at number eight on the US Mainstream Rock Chart in October 1991.
  • Produced by Keith Olsen alongside the band, the track was the fourth and final single released from Crazy World.

Matthias Jabs adopted Fender Stratocasters with humbuckers in later years, using their brighter character for cleaner ballad tones and more articulate lead work than his earlier Explorer guitars. The single-coil versatility lets him dial back aggression while maintaining the Scorpions' signature sustain.

While less documented than their Custom models, the Les Paul Standard's thick body and stock humbuckers provide the warm, sustained tone the Scorpions need for layered lead harmonies and heavy power chord work in the studio.

Rudolf Schenker's iconic Gibson Flying V since the mid-70s delivers his aggressive, palm-muted rhythm tone through hot PAF-style humbuckers, becoming synonymous with the Scorpions' raw, pointed attack and distinctive visual identity.

Matthias Jabs built his lead style around the Gibson Explorer's angular design and humbucker tone, using the guitar's focused midrange and sustain for expressive solos before transitioning to signature ESP and Fender models.

Both Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs powered the Scorpions' classic 80s sound through Marshall JCM800 heads, with Schenker running moderate preamp gain for defined rhythm crunch and Jabs pushing higher gain for lead work and sustain.
