Whitesnake is one of Britain’s most loved rock bands and the band’s stunning discography offers plenty of tracks for guitar lovers. If you are looking to add some new songs to your repertoire or you just want to listen to some classic rock with a kick, here are five of Whitesnake’s best songs.

1. Here I Go Again

Here I Go Again is perhaps the band’s most famous song and isn’t any wonder. The song is full of energy, attitude and amazing rock guitar slides.

There are two versions of the song available and they are both great in their own right. The first version was published in 1982 on the Saints & Sinners album. In 1987, the band re-mastered the song a bit and released it on the Whitesnake album.

2. Fool For Your Loving

Fool For Your Loving is the perfect song for recovering from heartache. The song first appeared in the 1980 album Ready an’ Willing, but the band re-published it on the 1989 album Slip of the Tongue, as well.

The song has an amazing, almost blue-like vibe to it. No wonder then that some rumours have suggested the song was originally written for the legendary B. B. King.

You can find the song as a backing track version from our website, if you want to add your own guitar riffs to the song or even just sing along to it.

3. Love Ain’t No Stranger

The Slide It In album in 1984 had plenty of great songs, but Love Ain’t No Stranger is among the best. It’s a classic power ballad – guaranteed to take you back to the 1980s in a bang.

The song starts slowly, with the guitar and drumming sounds picking up the volume later on. The band’s Anniversary Edition booklet of the Slide It In album actually reveals the keyboard parts were originally written for the guitar!

4. Slow & Easy

Slow & Easy was one of Whitesnake’s first real hits on the other side of the pond. The song is from the 1984 album Slide It In, which was a huge hit in the US. The song was reportedly born out after a night of partying and it was recorded in the early hours of the morning!

Micky Moody, the original Whitesnake guitarist, co-wrote the song and you can hear the blues influence in the sound. If you like to play the song, you can find a cool backing track version of Slow & Easyonline. It’s definitely a great song to practice on the guitar.

5. Lovehunter

Finally, the Lovehunter, song from the album of the same name, is a stunning track for anyone who loves guitar music. Micky Moody is at his best in this song, treating us with some of the coolest slide guitar sounds you’ll ever hear.
