Girl Crush

"Girl Crush" is a country song performed by Little Big Town, written by Lori McKenna, Hillary Lindsey, and Liz Rose. Released on December 15, 2014 as the second single from the album Pain Killer, it reached number one on the Hot Country Songs chart and earned two Grammy Awards. Its slow-burning, emotionally driven arrangement makes it a rewarding piece for electric guitar players looking to explore expressive, restrained playing within a modern country context.

  • The song is certified seven-times Platinum in the US, reflecting its massive commercial reach beyond typical country audiences.
  • Written by three acclaimed Nashville songwriters, Lori McKenna, Hillary Lindsey, and Liz Rose, the track showcases professional co-writing craft.
  • "Girl Crush" was the second-most played country song of 2015, making it an essential reference point for studying modern country guitar tones.

Fender Telecaster

Jimi Westbrook uses the Telecaster's bright single-coil pickups for Little Big Town's cutting country tones on uptempo tracks. The guitar's snap and twang cut through the band's vocal harmonies without requiring any gain or distortion.

Gibson ES-335

The ES-335's moderate-output PAF-style humbuckers deliver the warm, smooth tones Westbrook layers behind ballads and softer passages. Its reduced output preserves dynamic range, letting the band's soft-to-loud approach shine without harshness.

Fender Deluxe Reverb

Fender Deluxe Reverb

This tube amp's clean, glassy tone at volume 4 to 5 is essential for Little Big Town's transparent guitar character. The amp stays responsive to pick dynamics while adding subtle breakup, letting the player's touch drive expression rather than amplifier saturation.

The Carbon Copy's analog warmth delivers the slapback short delay that adds spacious depth to Little Big Town's clean electric parts. Its natural compression and subtle repeats complement the band's dynamics-first approach without clutter or artifacts.
