Are You Gonna Go My Way

"Are You Gonna Go My Way" is a hard rock track by Lenny Kravitz, the title cut from his 1993 album released on Virgin Records. Driven by a relentless, riff-based groove rooted in classic rock and funk, the song helped establish Kravitz as a major international artist, reaching number one in Australia and the UK. For electric guitarists, it is a go-to study in high-energy rhythm playing, tone, and the kind of stripped-back riff writing that sounds simple but demands precision and feel.

  • The title track comes from Kravitz's third studio album, recorded at Waterfront Studios in Hoboken, New Jersey.
  • The album was Kravitz's first to reach number one in both Australia and the United Kingdom.
  • The song's central guitar riff is a masterclass in rhythmic lock, tight muting and consistent picking attack are essential to nail it.

Kravitz uses vintage Stratocasters with their glassy single-coil tone for funkier rhythm work and cleaner passages, as heard on tracks like 'Fly Away.' Their responsiveness to picking dynamics complements his minimalist effects philosophy.

A frequent choice alongside his Flying V, Kravitz's 1959 Les Paul Standard delivers warm, woody tones from original PAF humbuckers that respond dynamically to his attack and volume knob adjustments.

While less documented than his Standard, the Custom variant offers Kravitz similar tonal warmth and versatility through its PAF-style humbuckers, fitting his preference for vintage instruments with rich harmonic character.

Gibson Flying V

Kravitz's signature instrument for heavy, riff-driven tracks, his 1967 Flying V with stock PAF humbuckers feeds into cranked Marshall Plexis to create the thick, harmonically saturated overdrive that defines his sound.

His 1968 Marshall Super Lead 100-watt Plexi cranked to natural breakup is the backbone of Kravitz's tone, providing the thick, tube-driven overdrive that comes from volume rather than pedal-based gain.

Kravitz uses the Twin Reverb's clean, articulate platform for softer passages and layered studio recordings, complementing the Marshall's aggression while maintaining his preference for warm, vintage tube tone.
