Let's Dance - Chords/Rhythms

"Let's Dance" by David Bowie is the title track from his 1983 album of the same name, co-produced by Nile Rodgers of Chic. Recorded at the Power Station in New York City, the song evolved from its folk rock origins into a polished dance track driven by bold rhythm guitar and a distinctive blues lead. It is a rewarding study for electric guitarists thanks to its tight funk-influenced chord work and the iconic lead parts laid down by a then-unknown Stevie Ray Vaughan.

  • Stevie Ray Vaughan played lead guitar on this track before he was widely known, bringing a raw blues tone to the recording.
  • Nile Rodgers of Chic co-produced the song, shaping its rhythm guitar feel with his signature funk-driven approach.
  • The song was originally conceived in a folk rock style before studio production transformed it into a dance-oriented track.

The definitive rock guitar. Its mahogany body, maple top and PAF-style humbuckers deliver warm, thick sustain with natural compression. From Slash to Jimmy Page, the Les Paul Standard is the backbone of hard rock tone.

The 'Black Beauty' - Gibson's premium Les Paul with bound neck, multi-ply binding and upgraded hardware. Its ebony fingerboard and heavier construction give it a darker, more refined tone compared to the Standard.

The gold standard for clean tone. The Twin Reverb's 85 watts of headroom, brilliant spring reverb and crystal-clear sound make it the preferred amp for country, blues and clean rock. It stays clean louder than almost anything else.
