Last Christmas

"Last Christmas" is a 1984 pop song by English duo Wham!, written, performed, and produced by George Michael. Released in December 1984 via CBS Records, it was inspired by a Christmastime breakup and has since become one of the most recognised holiday tracks in rock and pop history. For electric guitar players, it offers a great opportunity to explore clean, melodic rhythm parts and subtle lead lines that sit within a polished 1980s pop arrangement.

  • George Michael wrote 'Last Christmas' in February 1984 and recorded it that August, months before its December release.
  • The song was released as a double A-side alongside 'Everything She Wants' in several European countries.
  • The track appeared on Wham!'s album also titled 'Last Christmas', released in 1984 via CBS Records.

Wham's touring guitarists chose the Stratocaster for its bright, articulate single-coil tone that cuts cleanly through dense synth arrangements without muddying the mix. The guitar's natural clarity lets the pop songwriting shine without requiring heavy processing or gain.

The Telecaster's sharp, snappy single-coil voice provided Wham with transparent articulation essential for sitting prominently in synth-heavy productions. Its cutting high-end presence delivered the pristine, uncolored guitar tone the band's synth-pop aesthetic demanded.

Wham used the ES-335's warm, thin-humbucker tone as a complementary option to single-coils, offering slightly thicker midrange while maintaining the clarity needed to compete with synthesizers. This semi-hollow body provided subtle resonance without sacrificing the clean, unprocessed character their sound required.

The Deluxe Reverb's transparent, headroom-rich amplification kept Wham's guitars pristine and uncolored, allowing natural tone to carry through synth-laden arrangements. Its built-in reverb added tasteful space without saturation, perfectly matching the band's minimal, clean effects aesthetic.
