Jesus He Knows Me

"Jesus He Knows Me" is a cover of the Genesis song originally written by Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford, released as a single from their 1991 album We Can't Dance. The track is a sharp satire of televangelism, giving it a theatrically dark edge that suits Ghost's style well. For electric guitarists, the song offers a blend of polished rock rhythm work and melodic lead lines, making it an engaging piece to learn and perform.

  • The original Genesis recording runs approximately 4 minutes and 5 seconds, giving guitarists a substantial arrangement to study and replicate.
  • The song was written as direct satire of real televangelists under public scrutiny in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
  • Ghost's theatrical, rock-driven approach to the song makes chord voicings and tonal choices especially important for capturing the right atmosphere.

This amp delivers Ghost's signature mid-heavy crunch at moderate gain levels, staying clear and tight during palm muting without descending into saturated distortion. The Dual Rectifier's natural breakup at 5-6 gain is perfect for their contrast between clean and driven passages.
