About Tease Me Please Me

From the 1990 "Crazy World" album, "Tease Me Please Me" is a straight-ahead Hard Rock track that rewards guitarists who can lock in a tight, driving groove. The song sits in E minor in standard tuning, which makes it approachable but still asks you to nail the feel precisely. Pay close attention to the rhythm playing: the chord work needs to stay controlled and punchy rather than loose, and getting that balance between palm muting and open strumming is where most players slip up. The lead work from Scorpions features smooth melodic phrasing in the E minor pentatonic range, so if your soloing sounds stiff, focus on the vibrato and the note sustain rather than speed. Any sections where the rhythm and lead interplay feels tricky are perfect candidates for the Practice Toolbar, looping them slowed down until the timing clicks naturally. The tempo is steady enough that dynamics, not flash, are what make this one land.

  • The song is in E minor in standard tuning, so no retuning is needed and the open low E string can be used to anchor the rhythm parts.
  • The rhythm guitar relies on a balance of palm-muted chugging and open chord stabs, making right-hand control the main technique to develop.
  • Lead phrases stay largely within the E minor pentatonic scale, so practising vibrato and sustain in that position will help you match the tone of the recording.

How to Play Tease Me Please Me

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.

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.

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.
