-Living On A Prayer-

"Living on a Prayer" is a rock anthem by Bon Jovi, featured on their third studio album *Slippery When Wet*, released on August 18, 1986, via Mercury Records. Produced by Bruce Fairbairn, the album became a landmark in rock history. For electric guitar players, the song is a rewarding study in classic 1980s rock rhythm work, memorable riff construction, and the interplay between guitar and the iconic talk-box lead tone that defines the track's sound.

  • The song appears on *Slippery When Wet*, recorded at Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver between January and July 1986.
  • Bruce Fairbairn produced the album, helping shape the polished yet hard-edged guitar tone heard throughout the record.
  • *Slippery When Wet* was the first glam metal album to place three songs in the Billboard Hot 100 top 10.
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.
