Doctor Doctor


"Doctor Doctor" is a classic hard rock track by English rock band UFO, released as a single from their 1974 album Phenomenon. The song was composed by guitarist Michael Schenker, with lyrics by vocalist Phil Mogg. It stands as a cornerstone of UFO's catalog and offers electric guitarists an excellent study in Schenker's melodic, blues-influenced phrasing and his signature approach to riff construction and lead guitar work.

  • Michael Schenker wrote the music for "Doctor Doctor" at just 18 years old, showcasing early mastery of melodic hard rock guitar.
  • The song appeared on Phenomenon (1974), UFO's third album and the record that established the band's classic hard rock lineup.
  • Schenker's lead guitar style on this track blends blues sensibility with precise, melodic phrasing — a key reason it remains a study piece for guitarists.

Paul Chapman wielded this guitar after replacing Schenker, using its stock humbuckers to create a thicker, heavier tone that distinguished UFO's later era sound. The Les Paul's weight and sustain complemented Chapman's more aggressive approach compared to Schenker's finesse-based playing style.

While less documented than Chapman's Standards, the Les Paul Custom offered similar thick humbucker tones and premium construction for UFO's heavier material, maintaining the dense, powerful sound Chapman brought to the band.

Michael Schenker's iconic stripped natural-wood and later black-and-white split-finish Flying Vs became UFO's visual and sonic signature, with PAF-style humbuckers delivering the touch-sensitive, singing lead tones that defined his expressive playing style.

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah

Schenker's primary effect for crafting UFO's soaring lead passages, the Cry Baby wah allowed expressive control over his Marshall's warm breakup, turning simple solos into dramatic vocal-like statements as heard in live classics like 'Rock Bottom.'
