En Passant

"En Passant" is a track by French singer-songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman, released on his 1997 album of the same name. Goldman is one of the most prominent figures in French pop rock, with a career spanning from the mid-1970s through both a celebrated solo run in the 1980s and his work with the trio Fredericks Goldman Jones in the 1990s. The song offers guitarists an entry point into Goldman's melodic, accessible style that blends pop sensibility with tasteful electric guitar work.

  • Jean-Jacques Goldman is considered the highest-grossing living French pop rock act, making his catalog highly relevant to study.
  • Goldman launched his music career in France in 1975, developing a distinctive style that mixes pop, rock, and folk guitar textures.
  • "En Passant" was released in 1997, during a period when Goldman was also active as a sought-after record producer in France.

Fender Stratocaster

Goldman's Stratocaster, typically vintage 1970s-80s spec, delivers the warm single-coil articulation essential for his fingerstyle passages and layered arrangements. The instrument's natural woody resonance and transparent pickup response let his finger technique shine without modification.

Goldman favors the Telecaster's bright, percussive single-coils for rhythm work and distinctive tonal character that cuts through multi-tracked arrangements. The guitar's inherent clarity preserves every nuance of his picking attack and harmonic sophistication.

This 30W tube amp's natural preamp saturation at modest volumes creates Goldman's signature warm, compressed tone with preserved clarity and dynamics. The built-in spring reverb adds subtle space without requiring external effects, complementing his minimalist approach.
