More Than a Feeling


"More Than a Feeling" is the lead single from Boston's 1976 self-titled debut album, written entirely by guitarist and engineer Tom Scholz. The track peaked at number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and has since become a staple of classic rock radio, appearing on both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's '500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll' and Rolling Stone's '500 Greatest Songs of All Time.' For electric guitarists, it is a rewarding study in layered rhythm and lead tones, clean acoustic-electric blending, and Scholz's signature melodic hard rock approach.

  • Tom Scholz wrote and largely recorded 'More Than a Feeling' himself, showcasing his rare combination of guitar skill and studio engineering.
  • The song runs just over four and a half minutes, giving guitarists extended sections to practice both rhythm and lead phrasing.
  • VH1 ranked it the 39th-best hard rock song of all time in 2008, reflecting its lasting influence on the genre.
