My Best Friend’s Girl Guitar Riff

Learn how to play the catchy, rockabilly-tinged main guitar riff from My Best Friend’s Girl by The Cars! In this lesson, I’ll walk you through the upbeat, jangly rhythm and melodic phrasing that give this riff its signature late-‘70s new wave sound. With its blend of rock, pop, and twang, it’s a great riff for players who want to tighten up their timing and add something bright and fun to their guitar repertoire.
