  • In the spirit of Halloween, we’ve put together a list of what we think are the spookiest guitar parts of all time. It’s hard to pin down what exactly makes a guitar riff “spooky”, but these all seem to nail the vibe pretty well. The riffs in this lesson go from pretty recognizable to hauntingly obscure, so be ready for a few surprises!
    One important thing to note is that a few of these guitar riffs are going to require you to put your guitar into alternate tunings. So make sure you’ve got your tuner handy! You’ll find the necessary tuning information above the sheet music for the relevant songs. All right, Ayla and Kent are in costume, and it’s time to get into the ten spookiest guitar parts of all time!

      i think call of cthulu is a spookier opening riff than seek & destroy, but it wouldn't be a good beginner lesson

    "Grindhouse", the theme song from the movie Planet Terror it's pretty dark and ominous as well as badass, even though it's so simple

    The first one should be the riff from the movie Halloween by John Carpenter, sounds great on guitar.

    Oh shit, you guys included an Alice in Chains riff. I love Frogs and their self titled album is actually my favorite specifically because something about the full album feels so immersive, dark and refined

    Just wanted to say I really enjoyed this video. I've been a Guitareo member since 2018 or '19. I'm currently going through some very difficult things, having lost my mother to dementia, now having to see her getting worse in a nursing home. Playing guitar has always been 'therapeutic," and so if there's any good to this, it's that I have been playing a lot of guitar. I'm seeing lots of great changes at Guitareo, along with some great new instructors and format. Keep up the good work!

    Thank you again Guitareo for the free membership. I did a few courses this evening, and have yet to fully explore the rest of the website, also downloaded the app as well 👍🏽 once again thank you team guitareo.

    So happy to see you do "4th of July"!
    "What the Hell have I" by Alice in Chains is v dark sounding imo. For Metallica I'd say "Harvester of Sorrow".
    Maybe you could've had a Misfits song too as they're kinda appropriate for Halloween!😁

    I Want You (She's So Heavy) is also pretty spooky! Especially how it just STOPS at the end. SIDE OVER

      excellent choice! you are obviously someone of refined taste. the beatles version is quite spooky, but i think halestorm cranked the spook factor up just a tad bit on their cover of it.

    It's not born as a guitar part but it can be played on guitar too... so I hope it counts as well... My favotite spooky riff is from Goblin's band keyboardist italian maestro Claudio Simonetti on the Profondo Rosso (Deep Red) song which was the main theme of the omonym horror movie... :-)

      @@RByrne Just search on YT "Claudio Simonetti Profondo Rosso" and listen to the song... the keyboard part is my fav spooky riff (and is playable on guitar too...) Or better I drop here the link so You don't even have to search for it... :-)

    riff #1 is wrong. he doesn't do the slide the 2nd time, and he doesn't play in that key. the boc riff was indeed the spookier one from that song, great choice. "this one slays" said with that look on your face, was comedy gold.
    there are several spooky riffs you could have chosen, but you picked some good ones. you two come off in such a way, it's impossible for you to be scary. even still, good video
