Born To Be My Baby

"Born to Be My Baby" is a hard rock track by Bon Jovi, released in November 1988 as the second single from their fourth studio album, New Jersey. Written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and Desmond Child, the song reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and charted internationally. Its straightforward chord structure, melodic riffs, and classic 1980s rock feel make it a rewarding and accessible piece to learn on electric guitar.

  • Co-written by Desmond Child, a prolific rock songwriter who shaped the sound of many late-1980s arena rock hits.
  • The song peaked at number two on the US Cash Box Top 100, making it one of Bon Jovi's strongest chart performers from New Jersey.
  • Richie Sambora's guitar work on the track reflects the melodic, riff-driven style that defined Bon Jovi's commercially successful New Jersey era.
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 Les Paul Standard
Guitar

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
Guitar

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.

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah
Pedal

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah

The most recognised wah pedal on the planet. The Cry Baby's vocal frequency sweep gave Hendrix, Clapton and Kirk Hammett their signature lead voices. Rock, funk, metal - no pedalboard is complete without one.

Boss DS-1 Distortion
Pedal

Boss DS-1 Distortion

Arguably the most sold distortion pedal ever made. The DS-1's hard-clipping circuit produces an aggressive, buzzy distortion with a wide tonal range from mild crunch to all-out fuzz. Kurt Cobain and Steve Vai both used them heavily.
