About Keep The Faith


At 92 BPM in E major, "Keep The Faith" sits in a confident mid-tempo groove that rewards players who focus on feel over speed. The guitar work leans on chunky rhythm parts built around open and barre chord shapes in E standard tuning, so your fretting hand needs to stay relaxed and consistent through the long chord stretches that drive the verses and chorus. The real challenge is locking that rhythm tightly to the pocket: the parts have a slightly behind-the-beat swagger that sounds loose when it is right and sloppy when it is not. Getting that feel takes repetition, so use the Practice Toolbar to loop a verse or chorus section slowed down until the groove sits naturally. Bon Jovi built the track around a big, anthemic hard rock feel, and capturing that on guitar is less about difficult technique and more about committing to dynamics, making clean chord changes, and letting the rhythm breathe exactly where it should.

  • The song is in E standard tuning and E major, making it accessible for players comfortable with open-position and full barre chord shapes.
  • The mid-tempo groove at 92 BPM rewards focusing on consistent strumming dynamics and a slightly relaxed, behind-the-beat feel rather than technical speed.
  • Looping the chorus rhythm slowed down using the Practice Toolbar will help you nail the chord transitions before bringing it back up to full tempo.

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

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.

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

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.
