All Day and All of the Night

"All Day and All of the Night" is a 1964 single by English rock band The Kinks. It reached No. 2 in the UK and No. 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1965. The track is a classic for electric guitarists due to its raw, power-chord-driven riff that helped define the sound of British Invasion rock and remains an essential study in early distorted guitar technique.

  • The song's main riff is built almost entirely on power chords, making it an ideal exercise for beginners learning rhythm guitar.
  • It peaked at No. 2 in the UK charts and crossed over to the US Top 10, demonstrating the Kinks' early transatlantic appeal.
  • The track appeared on the Kinksize Hits EP in the UK and the American album Kinks-Size, released in 1965.

Gibson Flying V

Dave Davies' 1958 Gibson Flying V delivered the thick, aggressive midrange bark that defines The Kinks' signature crunch. Its dual PAF humbuckers responded dynamically to his punishing pick attack, keeping the raw energy intact without compression.

Vox AC30

The Vox AC30 was essential to Dave Davies' pioneering distortion tone, either pushed by his slashed-speaker Elpico preamp or cranked alone for natural breakup. This amp's touch-sensitive breakup became synonymous with The Kinks' raw, fuzzy rhythm sound.
