Explained simply
Guitar shops sell instruments, equipment and lessons, and the music played there often features guitar parts that visitors can recognise or try for themselves. Rock songs from the 1990s remain familiar to many listeners and are sometimes used to show what an electric guitar can sound like.
Alice in Chains, Metallica and Red Hot Chili Peppers were among the prominent American rock bands of that period. Their songs “Them Bones”, “Enter Sandman” and “Under the Bridge” each feature distinctive guitar parts, though they come from different styles of rock.
The songs’ lasting familiarity helps explain why they may appeal to people browsing instruments or considering lessons. “Under the Bridge” was released in 1991, during a decade when guitar-led rock reached a broad audience.
