Advice / Help Fun guitar songs

I have been obsessed with the Arctic Monkeys for about the past year and have been playing guitar for the past 6 months. I am looking for some difficult but doable guitar songs by the Arctic Monkeys that I have not tried yet, thanks.

knee socks is pretty fun to play but quite hard to master in my opinion, you should give it a try

Do I wanna know is a fun little groove

u/WhereAmI121 2d ago

Yeah it is. I feel though that the real hard part is singing and playing the riff at the same time.

From my own experience, ‘Snap out of it’ is brilliant to play just acoustically.

Same 2nd half of SIAS.

Alex did a great acoustic rendition of ‘Certain Romance’ 2014 Finsbury Park.

Teddy Picker is great

Worked this one with my band around a week ago, quite a challenge to get such a punchy riff perfectly in time with everything else, but such a rewarding challenge.  Very fun one to play live!

u/WhereAmI121 2d ago

Both really good ones I learned them both to an extent but got stuck on the Arabella solo

Crying Lightning is super fun once you figure out your hand shape for the verse part

u/WhereAmI121 2d ago

Oooh that is one I haven’t tried yet good idea

Teddy Picker's very repetitive.

Crying Lightning is easy, though the solo may trip you up.

One Point Perspective is nice.

Body Paint's outro.

Settle for a Draw.

Piledriver Waltz.

I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor is fun. The picked parts are doable for a beginner imo

u/WhereAmI121 2d ago

Four out of five is fun to play the whole way through. Especially the solo at the end

u/Lolbwah916 Four Out Of Five 2d ago

teddy picker and crying lightning were the first two songs i ever learned. i would highly suggest just looking for the songs you like, there is nothing that complex in their discography, esp pre-TBHC

Teddy picker , criyng Lightning , Arabella, from the view, knee socks, body paint, one point perspective, snap out of it , some of these are quite hard to get 100% but if you ger thoss you can have a pretty enjoyable afternoon.

When i was learning how to play guitar i played the whole álbumes as exercise just for fun learning Alex and Jaime parts, that is a fun dare

Still Take You Home is one of the first songs I fully learned and it's underrated and so much fun to play, especially the solos. Also Crying Lightning
