Ophelia

"Ophelia" is a folk rock song by The Lumineers, released as the lead single from their 2016 sophomore album Cleopatra. Built around a driving, rhythmic guitar part and a catchy chord progression, it offers electric guitar players a chance to explore the band's signature blend of indie folk energy and rock sensibility. Its straightforward structure makes it accessible while still being rewarding to play.

  • "Ophelia" was the lead single from The Lumineers' second album, Cleopatra, released on February 5, 2016.
  • The song's rhythm-driven guitar work focuses on consistent strumming patterns, making it great practice for right-hand technique.
  • The Lumineers are an American folk rock band, and "Ophelia" showcases their knack for blending acoustic roots with electric energy.

Fender Telecaster

Wesley Schultz uses the Telecaster's bright, snappy single-coil pickups to add articulate texture and clarity to The Lumineers' electric passages, keeping them distinct from the acoustic foundation. The guitar's natural brightness cuts through the band's stripped-down mix without requiring heavy effects or processing.

Fender Deluxe Reverb

Schultz favors the Deluxe Reverb's clean headroom and natural breakup to maintain clarity and warmth on electric tracks, avoiding distortion while adding subtle reverb that complements the band's minimal, song-focused aesthetic. Its vintage character preserves the natural tone that defines The Lumineers' restrained approach to amplification.
