Gel

"Gel" is a song by American alternative rock band Collective Soul, released as the lead single from their 1995 self-titled album. Written by singer and guitarist Ed Roland, it became a major rock radio hit, reaching number two on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. For electric guitar players, "Gel" is a rewarding study in the driving, riff-centered approach that defined mid-90s alternative rock, with its tight, energetic rhythm work making it a solid choice for players looking to build confidence with the era's sound.

  • "Gel" was written by Ed Roland, who serves as both lead vocalist and guitarist for Collective Soul, a rare dual role worth noting.
  • The song reached number two on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart, making it one of Collective Soul's strongest-performing rock radio singles.
  • "Gel" appeared on the soundtrack to the 1995 comedy film The Jerky Boys, extending its reach beyond album rock audiences.

Marshall JCM800

The definitive rock amp of the 1980s. The JCM800's single-channel, all-tube design produces a natural, harmonically rich overdrive at high volumes. Every hard rock and metal guitar sound from that era ran through one of these.

Fender Twin Reverb

The gold standard for clean tone. The Twin Reverb's 85 watts of headroom, brilliant spring reverb and crystal-clear sound make it the preferred amp for country, blues and clean rock. It stays clean louder than almost anything else.
