For today’s play-along, we’re looking at “Spooky” by Dusty Springfield! It’s an older tune, but it’s super-duper hipster and loads of fun to play with.

Pretty simple to start off with – you’ve got an A minor chord, D major, and E minor. If you’re really just starting out with the guitar, practice switching between those chords for a bit before playing along. Be sure you’ve got those changes really nice and clean.

There’s no specific rhythm pattern I’m doing here, but I do play around with the strumming quite a bit. I get more into some patterns you can try towards the end of the video, but on your first play-through, see what feels good to you and go with that. There are a couple of stops in the middle of the tune, but if you’re familiar with the original recording, those shouldn’t trip you up too badly.

Remember – the Beginner Song Course App is available right here for both iOS and Android, so don’t forget to download it if you haven’t already! I really did my best to turn out a good and handy app for you all, so it’s got loads of features that should be a huge help in your practice. Plenty more beginner-level songs for you to play along with, as well!
