About Believe

At 92 BPM in A minor, "Believe" sits in that mid-tempo pocket where groove matters more than speed. Lenny Kravitz builds the song on a thick, repetitive guitar figure that rewards players who can lock in with the rhythm section and resist the urge to rush. The challenge is not technical complexity but feel: keeping every chord hit exactly behind the beat so the track breathes the way it should. The song belongs to a Hard Rock tradition that leans heavily on tone and dynamics, so getting a warm but slightly gritty clean-to-crunch sound is as important as nailing the notes. If a particular chord transition or rhythmic phrase is giving you trouble, use the Practice Toolbar to loop that section slowed down until the muscle memory is solid. Once the rhythm feels natural at reduced speed, bring it back up to 92 BPM and focus on letting the groove settle rather than pushing it.

  • The song runs at 92 BPM in A minor on E Standard tuning, making it accessible for intermediate players focused on building rhythm guitar feel.
  • The core challenge is rhythmic precision: landing chord hits consistently behind the beat to match the heavy, laid-back groove of the track.
  • Tone is critical here, so aim for a warm, slightly overdriven sound that sits between clean and full crunch to match the recorded feel.

Fender Stratocaster

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

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.

Marshall Plexi (1959 Super Lead)

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.

Fender Twin Reverb

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.
