Peace of Mind

"Peace of Mind" is a rock track by Boston, written by guitarist and producer Tom Scholz, featured on the band's 1976 self-titled debut album. Released as a single in 1977, it peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a enduring rock radio staple. For electric guitarists, it offers a strong study in Scholz's signature layered guitar tones, melodic lead work, and the polished hard rock riffing that defined Boston's influential sound.

  • Tom Scholz wrote and produced the track, engineering the dense, layered guitar tones largely on his own home-built equipment.
  • "Peace of Mind" was the third and final single released from Boston's 1976 debut album.
  • The song reached number 33 on the Cash Box Top 100 and number 38 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1977.

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 Les Paul Standard

Gibson Les Paul Standard

The definitive rock guitar. Its mahogany body, maple top and PAF-style humbuckers deliver warm, thick sustain with natural compression. From Slash to Jimmy Page, the Les Paul Standard is the backbone of hard rock tone.

Gibson Les Paul Custom

The 'Black Beauty' - Gibson's premium Les Paul with bound neck, multi-ply binding and upgraded hardware. Its ebony fingerboard and heavier construction give it a darker, more refined tone compared to the Standard.

Marshall JCM800
Amp

Marshall JCM800

The definitive rock amp of the 1980s. The JCM800's single-channel, all-tube design produces a natural, harmonically rich overdrive at high volumes. Every hard rock and metal guitar sound from that era ran through one of these.
