Spoonman Guitar Riff

Learn how to play the heavy, groove-laden main guitar riff from Spoonman by Soundgarden! This Chris Cornell and Kim Thayil classic features an aggressive, off-kilter riff in 7/4 time that defines the raw power of ‘90s grunge. In this lesson, I’ll break down the timing, technique, and tone behind the riff so you can master one of Soundgarden’s most iconic tracks. A great challenge for intermediate and advanced players who want to add some rhythmic edge to their playing!
