    Here's how to play (Don't Fear) The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult! This song has an iconic lead riff built on the chords that you can also use to strum along with. We also take a look at the lead arpeggio sections at the end of the song but on acoustic because it still sounds great!

    04:48 Main chord progression
    06:33 Play-through - jam along!

    Wonderful tutorial on one of my all time favorite songs.
    Interesting little tidbit: when you watch live footage of Blue Öyster Cult playing this song, Donald "Buck Dharma" Roser plays it down-up-down-up. Once I tried it like that, it felt easier than what is basically a "slow rake" of the strings.

    I wonder if Andy NEVER does a play-through to avoid headaches about copyright. It makes it easier to understand the transitions if we see how sections stitch together. See them as lesson 'pieces'; it is easier to learn the section, but without the playthrough, it seems hard to smoothly put them together. An example would be nice.

    This song is my favourite one-hit wonder by Blue Öyster Cult. The chord progression of this song was even reused in the Dodgy song "Staying Out for the Summer". ❤Thanks Andy! This will be a good song that I would like to play on (6 or 12-string) guitar and my fiancee on keyboard following "Disarm" by The Smashing Pumpkins and "Songbird" by Oasis Great session!

    Why is there an apostrophe in arpeggios but not in chords? Are you a greengrocer?
