Perfect Strangers

"Perfect Strangers" is the title track from Deep Purple's 1984 comeback album of the same name, marking the reunion of the band's classic Mark II lineup. Released as the first UK single from the album, the song showcases the signature interplay between Ritchie Blackmore's riff-driven guitar work and Jon Lord's Hammond organ. For electric guitar players, it offers an excellent study in hard rock rhythm and lead technique rooted in Deep Purple's distinctive style.

  • The song served as the lead single in the UK from the Perfect Strangers album, signaling Deep Purple's return after years apart.
  • Running just under five and a half minutes, the track gives guitarists extended sections to study both rhythm and lead playing.
  • Perfect Strangers marked the reunion of Deep Purple's classic Mark II lineup, making it a landmark moment in hard rock history.

Fender Stratocaster

The most iconic electric guitar ever made. Its three single-coil pickups, contoured body and versatile tone make it the go-to for blues, rock, funk and everything in between. Players from Hendrix to Gilmour to Clapton built their sound on it.

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.

Pedal

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah

The most recognised wah pedal on the planet. The Cry Baby's vocal frequency sweep gave Hendrix, Clapton and Kirk Hammett their signature lead voices. Rock, funk, metal - no pedalboard is complete without one.
