Wild Is The Wind

"Wild Is the Wind" is a song by Bon Jovi featured on their 1988 album New Jersey. A slower, emotionally driven track, it stands apart from the band's harder rock material, showcasing Jon Bon Jovi's melodic songwriting alongside restrained but expressive guitar work. For electric guitar players, it offers a valuable opportunity to explore clean tones, dynamic control, and the kind of lyrical phrasing that defines Bon Jovi's more understated side.

  • The song appears on New Jersey, released in 1988, one of Bon Jovi's most commercially successful albums.
  • "Wild Is the Wind" is a title shared with a classic song previously covered by David Bowie and recorded by Nina Simone.
  • The track rewards guitarists working on expressive, restrained playing rather than high-gain or technically demanding techniques.
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.
