More about this title

About the Artist: Lesley Gore

Lesley Gore emerged from the American pop scene of the 1960s with a distinctive contralto voice and unflinching approach to songwriting. Her work often centered on themes of independence and social consciousness, positioning her as both a popular recording artist and a voice for feminist perspectives in pop music during an era when such visibility was uncommon.

Why we love this

This track delivers an attitude-driven arrangement that sits perfectly for guitarists building confidence with rock rhythms and attitude. The defiant energy makes it engaging for students who connect with pop and rock repertoire, and the TAB format removes transcription barriers so players can focus on nailing the groove and character.

What to expect

Brash, empowered, and unapologetic. The song carries a defiant swagger that makes playing it feel good, with a groove that sits in your hands once you've found the pocket.

Who it's for

Guitar students at the intermediate level who gravitate toward pop and rock repertoire and want to play songs with recognizable appeal. This works equally well for solo practice, recital performance, or as part of a broader pop music unit in group instruction.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock in the rhythm section feel first; this song relies on a steady, confident pulse to land its attitude, so anchor your timing before worrying about flourishes.
  • Lean into the assertiveness of the vocal melody when you play; the guitar should reflect that same independence and directness.
  • Check your dynamics across the verse and chorus; the contrast between quieter moments and the full-energy sections is what gives the arrangement shape.

How to use it

Include this in recitals or end-of-year showcases where students are programming material they're genuinely excited about. It pairs well with other 1960s pop and rock hits, and its lyrical content makes it a natural anchor for units exploring pop history or social themes in music.
