Learn Ratt's Guitar & Bass Style

Discover how Ratt developed their signature guitar and bass sound, the techniques you'll encounter in their music, and the best lessons to begin your learning journey.

RATT emerse dalla scena metal di Los Angeles verso la fine degli anni ’70, evolvendosi dal gruppo originario di San Diego Mickey Ratt in una potenza hard rock lucida e pronta per la radio. Il frontman Stephen Pearcy si unì mentre affinarono twin guitar harmonies e punchy rhythm parts, collaborando con Robbin Crosby e Warren DeMartini alle chitarre, Juan Croucier al basso e Bobby Blotzer alla batteria. La loro energia iniziale fusero hook da strada con riff da stadio, definendo il modello per il glam metal americano e per le esibizioni live ad alta energia.

Playing Style

Lo stile di suono dei RATT fonde crunchy rhythm riffs con lead melodici brillanti. L'approccio twin-guitar crea armonie ascendenti che si innestano su un chugging stretto, palm-muted e suoni power energici. Lead lines presentano rapidità di alternate picking, bending e sustain di buon gusto, mentre il basso sostiene il groove con un pocket ben definito. I tempi ad alta energia, hook facili da cantare in coro, e toni scintillanti mid- to high-gain che emergono dal mix rendono i loro brani immediatamente riconoscibili in qualsiasi contesto rock.

🎸 Gear & Equipment

Le attrezzature iconiche per i fan dei RATT si concentrano su two-guitar harmony rigs, spesso alimentate da loud Marshall-style amp stacks, con un mix di Strat-style e superstrat guitars. I chitarristi come Robbin Crosby e Warren DeMartini preferivano toni brillanti e taglienti, supportati da chorus e delay pedals per leads scintillanti. Una solida base ritmica e linee di basso strette completarono il classico suono di fine anni ’80 che ha definito glam metal.
