Hungry Like The Wolf

"Hungry Like the Wolf" is a pop rock track by the English band Duran Duran, released in 1982 as part of their second studio album, Rio. Written by the band and produced by Colin Thurston, it reached No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart and earned a platinum BPI certification. For electric guitar players, the song offers a chance to explore the clean, synth-driven new wave sound of the early 1980s, with rhythmic chord work and melodic lead lines that defined the era's guitar style.

  • Released on 4 May 1982 in the UK, it was Duran Duran's fifth single and a commercial breakthrough for the band.
  • Producer Colin Thurston, who also worked with early Duran Duran records, shaped the polished new wave guitar tone heard throughout the track.
  • The song appears on Rio (1982), an album widely regarded as a defining record of the new wave and synth-pop guitar era.

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.

Gibson ES-335

The semi-hollow thinline that bridges jazz warmth and rock bite. Its center block eliminates feedback while the hollow wings add warmth and resonance. Used by B.B. King, Chuck Berry, Dave Grohl and hundreds of blues and rock guitarists.

Fender Twin Reverb

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.

Pedal

Electro-Harmonix Small Clone

Kurt Cobain's chorus pedal on Nevermind. The Small Clone's thick, slightly detuned chorus adds instant 1990s character - warmer and more liquid than Boss chorus pedals with an almost underwater quality to the modulation.
