Shine


"Shine" by Collective Soul is the lead single from their debut album, Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid (1993), and remains the band's most recognized track. A defining song of 1990s alternative rock, it reached number one on the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart for eight consecutive weeks, closing 1994 as that chart's top single. Its driving guitar riffs and anthemic structure make it a rewarding study in alternative rock rhythm work and song construction for electric guitarists.

  • "Shine" held the number one spot on the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart for eight weeks straight.
  • The song also peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, showing its crossover appeal beyond rock radio.
  • Running just over five minutes, the track offers extended sections ideal for studying alternative rock guitar dynamics and phrasing.
Marshall JCM800
Amp

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.
