If you are into playing soft and soulful music on your guitar, Kings of Leon’s ‘Use Somebody’ might just be the song you want to add to your repertoire. Originally released in 2008, ‘Use Somebody’ stands out for its catchy guitar rhythms and distinctive lead guitar licks which spawns its unique sound.
The beauty of this track for guitar players lies in its simplicity and the impact of its guitar sections. The spacious, yet powerful lead guitar parts allow newer players to get a taste of crafting memorable lead hooks without getting too complex. On the other hand, more experienced players can appreciate the subtlety and feel of the parts within the context of the song. ‘Use Somebody’ is a prime example of how effective a simple, well-constructed guitar part can be.
