About Love to Love

Few ballad-paced hard rock tracks demand as much patience and precision from a lead guitarist as "Love to Love." Written in C minor and sitting at a steady 120 BPM in standard E tuning, the song builds slowly and puts the melodic lead work front and centre. Michael Schenker's guitar playing here is all about sustain, phrasing, and knowing when to leave space. The challenge is not speed but control: holding a bent note in tune, shaping the volume swell of a phrase, and landing vibrato that feels vocal rather than mechanical. If you are working on Schenker's signature lead lines, use the Practice Toolbar to loop each phrase slowed down so you can hear exactly where the vibrato starts and how long each bend is held. UFO leaned heavily into this dramatic, layered approach to Hard Rock, and this track is one of the clearest examples of how much expression a single guitar line can carry when the tempo gives it room to breathe.

  • The song is in C minor at 120 BPM in standard E tuning, giving Schenker's lead lines a wide, unhurried space to develop melodically.
  • Controlled vibrato and precise string bending are the core techniques to master here, far more than any fast picking or complex chord work.
  • Looping the main lead phrases slowed down in the Practice Toolbar is the most effective way to internalize the phrasing and sustain choices.

Gibson Les Paul Standard

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.'
