Cheap Thrills

"Cheap Thrills" is a pop song by Australian singer-songwriter Sia, released in 2015 as the second single from her seventh studio album, This Is Acting (2016). Written by Sia and producer Greg Kurstin, the track is built around a minimalist, repetitive chord structure that makes it approachable for electric guitar players of all levels. Its clean, stripped-back harmonic foundation offers a solid platform for practicing rhythm guitar techniques, dynamics, and tone control.

  • The song was co-written and produced by Greg Kurstin, known for his polished, pop-driven production style.
  • A remix featuring Jamaican artist Sean Paul was released on February 11, 2016, expanding the track's reach.
  • The simple chord progression makes it an effective practice piece for guitarists focusing on clean rhythm playing and consistency.

Fender Telecaster

Sia's studio sessions favor the Telecaster for its bright single-coil pickups that cut through dense synth and drum arrangements with clarity. The guitar's articulation helps every note punch through without muddying the midrange in her intricate productions.

The Jazzmaster's single-coil brightness and unique tonal character provide the articulation Sia needs in layered arrangements where definition matters. Its warm yet cutting tone complements her minimalist effects approach while maintaining presence in busy mixes.

Sia's live and session work uses the Twin Reverb's lush onboard reverb and clean headroom to capture natural amp warmth without saturation. The amp's vintage character delivers the spacious, reverb-drenched textures central to her production aesthetic.

The Deluxe Reverb provides Sia's session players with warmth and natural breakup in a more compact package than the Twin Reverb. Its built-in plate reverb emulation and responsive tube dynamics support her signature sparse, reverb-heavy effect chain.
