Billy Squier - Lonely Is The Night Guitar Lesson

Sign up for my GL365 Academy to finally understand the guitar, develop a great ear for music, pro level technique and much more! Personalized support from me!

In this Lonely Is The Night guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this great song from Billy Squier note-for-note!

The tuning is standard tuning, E A D G B E.

Some really cool guitar parts in this one! From the instantly recognizable intro, to the classic main riff and more, I will take you through each section of the song in the order that each appears on the original recording.

The rhythm guitar work is pretty simple, so getting those awesome riffs down shouldn't be much trouble for most players.

However, things get quite a bit more challenging at the guitar solo. I will take you through this solo note-for-note. It is a great study in blues based rock guitar soloing.

Have fun with this classic! Carl...

It’s kind of weird that you rarely here anything about Billy. He is a vastly underated guitarist that came up with some really catchy riffs.

I remember seeing Billy Squire at Biloxi, Coliseum opening for Foreigner Sept.22, 1981 as a young teen! He played all his hits and I REALLY remember “The Stroke” lit the Coliseum

Carl you are the man. Single handily kept me playing this past year with constant content and so many previous videos. I’ve progressed so much and can now do techniques I never thought possible thanks to your easy to follow videos! Keep shredding everybody only gets more fun.

Always love me a little Billy Squier. He was the first concert I ever went to he was opening for queen back around 1980 maybe?

[RickWalton]

Squier was a staple at a bar I frequented a lot in my youth. He definitely has some awesome Riffs. As an odd request, I'd love to see a tutorial on The Ballad of Jayne. Thanks for all you do.

[roberttaylor]

I've found your lessons to be some the most accurate of any video tutorials I've watched. Thank you for the hard work you put into them.

Super job... It's probably my favorite Billy Squier song!
You nailed it. I can't wait to play it!

[jeffrobodeenyehcmon]

This is gonna be FUN! What a jam. He has so many...I want more!

[eruption]

Being from Boston, he's one of our local heros! Not many people know he played all instruments on the album.

[jeffrobodeenyehcmon]

I always loved that ending double stop fill. It's cool, that's why.
