Ordinary World

"Ordinary World" is a song by English rock band Duran Duran, featured on their seventh studio album released in 1993. The track marked a commercial and critical comeback for the band, blending melodic rock with adult contemporary sensibilities. For electric guitar players, it offers an approachable yet rewarding study in clean, atmospheric chord work and expressive lead lines rooted in early 1990s rock production.

  • The song re-established Duran Duran's commercial success and led directly to a follow-up single, 'Come Undone', on the same album.
  • Its guitar parts lean heavily on clean tones and melodic phrasing, making it a solid practice piece for players developing dynamic control.
  • The track appeared on Duran Duran's seventh studio album, released in 1993 via Parlophone Records.
Fender Stratocaster
Guitar

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

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
Amp

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.

Electro-Harmonix Small Clone
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.
