You Got It


"You Got It" is a song by Roy Orbison, released posthumously in January 1989 from his studio album Mystery Girl. Written with Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty, it marked a major commercial comeback, reaching number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Adult Contemporary chart. For electric guitarists, the song offers a clean, melodic arrangement with straightforward chord work that highlights expressive playing over technical complexity.

  • Released after Orbison's death in December 1988, making it one of music's most notable posthumous hit singles.
  • Co-written with Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty, the song blends classic pop structure with a timeless, guitar-friendly chord progression.
  • The single returned Orbison to the US top 10 for the first time in 25 years, also reaching number three in the UK.

Roy Orbison's semi-hollow Gibson ES-335 delivered the warm, resonant clean tone that perfectly complemented his soaring vocals without competing for space. The PAF humbuckers provided full-bodied warmth and responsive dynamics that let his rhythm playing breathe naturally.

Orbison's Fender Twin Reverb stayed pristine and clean with plenty of headroom, keeping his guitar articulate and transparent so his voice remained the focal point. The amp's natural sparkle and built-in spring reverb created the shimmering, spacious studio sound that defined his recordings.
