Faith


"Faith" is a song by English singer and songwriter George Michael, released via Columbia Records as the second single from his 1987 debut solo album of the same name. Written and produced by Michael himself, it reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks and was named the number-one single of the year in the United States in 1988. Its iconic rockabilly-influenced guitar riff makes it a rewarding and recognizable piece to learn on electric guitar.

  • The opening guitar riff is heavily influenced by rockabilly style, making it a great entry point for players exploring that genre.
  • "Faith" topped charts in Australia and Canada as well, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart.
  • Written and produced solely by George Michael, the track showcases his ability to blend pop songwriting with guitar-driven arrangements.

Fender Stratocaster

George Michael's session guitarists relied on Fender Stratocasters for their warm, articulate single-coil pickups that capture subtle dynamics and hand muting essential to his soulful, clean playing style. The Strat's mid-range prominence cuts through polished production without effects, making it perfect for the touch-driven technique that defines tracks on Faith and Listen Without Prejudice.
