Peacemaker


"Peacemaker" is a track by German rock veterans Scorpions, featured on their 2022 album Rock Believer (Deluxe), the band's nineteenth studio release. The album marked their longest gap between studio records and their first with drummer Mikkey Dee. For electric guitar players, the song offers a solid example of Scorpions' classic hard rock style, blending driving riffs with the melodic sensibility that has defined the band's sound across decades.

  • Rock Believer was Scorpions' first studio album in seven years, giving the record a sense of renewed energy worth exploring as a guitarist.
  • Drummer Mikkey Dee, formerly of Motörhead, appears on Rock Believer — his debut studio recording with Scorpions since joining in 2016.
  • Scorpions are a German band, making them one of the most internationally successful hard rock acts to study for European rock guitar phrasing.

Fender Stratocaster

Matthias Jabs adopted Fender Stratocasters with humbuckers in later years, using their brighter character for cleaner ballad tones and more articulate lead work than his earlier Explorer guitars. The single-coil versatility lets him dial back aggression while maintaining the Scorpions' signature sustain.

While less documented than their Custom models, the Les Paul Standard's thick body and stock humbuckers provide the warm, sustained tone the Scorpions need for layered lead harmonies and heavy power chord work in the studio.

Matthias Jabs relied heavily on Gibson Les Paul Customs in the studio for their superior sustain and thick tonal character on solos, using the guitar's humbuckers and weight to achieve the band's signature fat, compressed lead sound.

Gibson Flying V

Rudolf Schenker's iconic Gibson Flying V since the mid-70s delivers his aggressive, palm-muted rhythm tone through hot PAF-style humbuckers, becoming synonymous with the Scorpions' raw, pointed attack and distinctive visual identity.

Gibson Explorer

Matthias Jabs built his lead style around the Gibson Explorer's angular design and humbucker tone, using the guitar's focused midrange and sustain for expressive solos before transitioning to signature ESP and Fender models.

Both Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs powered the Scorpions' classic 80s sound through Marshall JCM800 heads, with Schenker running moderate preamp gain for defined rhythm crunch and Jabs pushing higher gain for lead work and sustain.
