Still Loving You


"Still Loving You" is a power ballad by German hard rock band Scorpions, released in June 1984 as the second single from their ninth studio album, Love at First Sting. The track achieved its greatest success in Europe, reaching the top 5 in several countries. For electric guitar players, it offers a rewarding combination of clean, emotive arpeggios and a melodic lead solo that makes it a staple study piece for expressive playing.

  • The song was released in June 1984, taken from Scorpions' ninth studio album, Love at First Sting.
  • Despite modest US chart performance at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100, it became a top 5 hit across multiple European countries.
  • The track blends clean-tone chord work with an expressive lead solo, making it ideal for practising dynamic control on electric guitar.

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.

Matthias Jabs relied heavily on Gibson Les Paul Customs in the studio for their superior sustain and thick tonal character on solos, using the guitar's humbuckers and weight to achieve the band's signature fat, compressed lead sound.

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.
