R U Mine?

"R U Mine?" is a song by English indie rock band Arctic Monkeys, written by frontman Alex Turner and composed by the full band. Released as a digital download in the UK on 27 February 2012, it became a staple of their heavier, riff-driven sound. The song is a rewarding learn for electric guitarists thanks to its driving, distorted riff and tight rhythmic structure that showcases the band's signature garage rock energy.

  • The song was released physically on a limited edition purple 7" vinyl for Record Store Day on 21 April 2012.
  • Only 1,750 copies of the limited edition vinyl were pressed, making it a rare collector's item for Arctic Monkeys fans.
  • The vinyl was a double A-side release, pairing "R U Mine?" with another new track called "Electricity".

Jamie Cook uses the Stratocaster alongside his Les Pauls to add brightness and clarity to Arctic Monkeys' dense arrangements. Its single-coil snap cuts through the band's heavier palm-muted riffs without getting lost in the midrange.

Jamie Cook's hotter-output humbuckers push the band's amps harder, generating extra sustain and bite on lead work and bends that cut above Turner's rhythm foundation.

Turner's signature guitar on earlier records, its bright single-coils produce the jangly, slightly hollow indie tone that established Arctic Monkeys' Sheffield sound before shifting to heavier gear.

Essential to Arctic Monkeys' early records, the AC30's chime top end and natural tube breakup defined their indie-rock foundation before they adopted Orange heads for thicker, more aggressive midrange.
