Pictures Of Home


Pictures of Home is a hard rock track from Deep Purple's landmark 1972 album Machine Head. The song opens with an energetic drum intro before launching into a fast-paced, driving guitar riff paired with a powerful bass line. It features multiple instrumental solos that showcase the band's technical prowess, making it an excellent study piece for mastering classic rock guitar dynamics and rhythm work.

  • Ian Paice's drum introduction sets up the track with precision before the guitar riff kicks in.
  • The song combines a driving rhythm foundation with several featured guitar solos throughout.
  • From Machine Head, Deep Purple's defining 1972 hard rock album.

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.

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.

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.
