Welcome to this little Halloween Spooktacular of four fun classic Halloween riffs for the guitar. If you want to learn some scary (tongue in cheek!) Halloween guitar riffs, this is the place to be. Each one features a different and very useful technique that will help improve your guitar playing – especially if you are a beginner.
One of my most popular posts on this blog is the Top 50 guitar riffs post which was released a few years ago. It is now getting a massive update and I want this to be the absolute best guitar riff list anywhere so you can have fun, enjoy the best sounding riffs and learn them in a progressive manner.

When I first started teaching guitar, I quickly realised that if you try to teach students a lot of chord based strumming songs, (which seems like the typical way to teach new students) they would find it difficult and get frustrated. I quickly realised a great way to motivate the student was to teach them riffs – particularly easy, classic riffs.
