My Sacrifice


"My Sacrifice" is a rock ballad by Creed, released in October 2001 as the lead single from their third studio album, Weathered. It reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and spent nine consecutive weeks at number one on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, making it one of the band's most successful singles. For electric guitar players, the song offers a rewarding mix of clean, melodic chord work and heavier driven sections that showcase dynamic control and expressive phrasing.

  • "My Sacrifice" held the number one spot on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for nine consecutive weeks starting December 2001.
  • The song runs approximately 4 minutes and 54 seconds, giving guitarists extended time to explore its dynamic shifts.
  • It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 2003 ceremony.

Amp

Marshall JCM800

The definitive rock amp of the 1980s. The JCM800's single-channel, all-tube design produces a natural, harmonically rich overdrive at high volumes. Every hard rock and metal guitar sound from that era ran through one of these.
