In this Ghostbusters guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play all the chords for this massive 80's hit.
The tuning is standard tuning, E A D G B E.
What I have done with this arrangement is try to replicate the sound of the synth, bass and guitars into one cohesive part that retains the sound of the original. For those reasons, this isn't a note-for-note transcription of the actual guitar parts as played by Ray Parker Jr. Instead, I will just be doing my own arrangement of the overall instrumentation heard on the recording. Some of this will be actual guitar parts, like in the bridge, but mostly it will just be emulating the synth and bass tracks since those are what the song is built around.
I will take you through each section of the song in the order that each appears on the original recording. Putting all of the parts into one guitar arrangement can make it a bit challenging to play at times, but it is also a lot of fun once you get everything underneath your fingers.
Have fun with this one! Carl...

I’m only eleven years old and I started my band when I was nine you’ve helped me out a lot thanks Carl!!

[@beansandleaves]

Good luck! I started performing last year and its so much fun.

[@jamisonc7500]

Nice job!! I’m 22 and too scared to find bandmembers 🤣

[@muzerino]

@@jamisonc7500 dude, I felt that when I was younger too. Always thought I wasn’t good enough. Living in a small town didn’t help with finding similar friends either. I ended up teaching someone to play bass so I had someone to jam with. 😂

[@grahamd8356]

Well done kid 👏🏻👏🏻

[@mattburnett7153]

@@jamisonc7500 take the leap and find 'em! I've just joined a band in the last month and my playing is improving tenfold by being in a band.

[@davidradley1560]

Bustin makes me feel good

[@suzannecoholic1467]

I'm sure to scare the kids away with my rendition! LOL! Thanks Carl!

2:57 Cal you’re a legend😂😂

[@metal_master1743]

Carl, I know you probably won't see this but you have helped my sooooo much with learning guitar. I am only 12 but my progress with guitar has been getting better very quickly. I even learned the free bird solo from you even when I thought that I never could. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos and hard work. Love this lesson and I love this channel. keep up the great work!

[@onezerosevensix]

These lessons are fantastic, im glad to see a recovery being made to your channel after it was taken. Im a better guitarist every day :)

[@quinnrollman8551]

Hey Carl, you should make a tutorial for Soothsayer by Buckethead! Love the melody to that song.

[@irshad2955]

He's guitar lesson are awesome

[@jamisonc7500]

I need as much help as I can get for being cool at parties 🤣 this’ll surely help!

[@zakkmylde1712]

Fair warning, the only people who will think your cool at parties for playing guitar are other musicians and the occasional wannabe groupie and you gotta make sure your the best there. But on the brightside, occasional wannabe groupie, be warned though they tend to be psychotic so enter at your own risk. Abandon all hope Ye who playeth guitar.

[@ibanezprestigeboy]

Damn Carl, hell of an arrangement. Phenomenal work. You’re a machine. Thanks for this one.

[@edwardglyons]

That was an awesome lesson. Never thought I’d be learning how to play this on guitar. Super fun. Thanks Carl.

[@hrvojecacic6358]

This is absolutely fantastic!!

[@MoStBlEsSeD]

[@nataschabomm]

[@Shafaq69]

Oh ! WoW !!! Unique sound I really like it

[@moogoomoogoo5990]

[@muzerino]

You’re the best teacher online. No doubt! Can you think about doing Girlschool by Britny Fox?

[@aerosmith7175]

Awesome Carl

[@martinjohnson2021]

Nice rendition of GB's. I'm not scared of any ghosts. Well done.

[@ChrisCollinsGuitar]

Good idea!!

[@sergebraida5622]

Who ya gonna call? Carl Brown!

[@TheRotisserie_Mystery]

Im loving all the Halloween themed songs!

[@bibilvcr]

Hey Carl! This is an amazing lesson, I’ve been looking for one of this song and I’m glad you finally made one! Your lessons have helped me more that any in person teacher I’ve ever had if I’m being honest lol. I really liked your Van Halen lessons too, is it possible if you could do a lesson for Source of Infection by them?? if not, that’s okay, I hope you see this!

[@JR-ke9lm]

Do a lesson for stricken (disturbed)

[@cdz9400]

OH S**T, FOR REAL. THIS IS AWESOME! THANKS CARL!

[@cdz9400]

Your not the real Carl 🖕

[@Leviathan-nh9lm]

Can you do a lesson on all guns blazing by Judas Priest?

[@markdoughty8780]

Nice breakdown and tutorial of a classic 80's tune - sounds lot like Huey Lewis And The News's I want A New Drug; in fact, I think there was some legal dispute concerning it back in the 80's, and, Huey may have had to pay-out big time. Thanks for uploading.

[@danielferstendig]

Or m pop muzik.

[@rodolfolopezcabrera7746]

When some one ask me where to learn guitar, I say Carl Brown is my teacher! Carl, can you teach us Pali Gab from Jimmy Hendrix can not find a descent lesson on youtube 🎸

[@vrocknet]

Hey Carl, hate to be a pest, but have you ever done any Ten Years After? Alvin Lee was a great great guitar player (called him speed fingers). I'd love to see a lesson on Choo Choo Mama or One Of These Days, or the standard of late 60s garage rock band's go to: Good Morning Little School Girl. Great solo in this song, please!

[@gunner799]

Carl do have a cigar my man.

[@stephenforristal1785]

Hi Carl can you do achilles last stand?

[@SheaOnYT]

[@connormclain7097]

A lesson on Caught in the Middle by Dio would be amazing

[@trollsauce9989]

Love the sound! What kind of pedal are you using?

[@darrenhirtle3142]

[@darrenhirtle3142]

Hey Carl, been watching you for years, taught me so much, thanks

[@o_sch]

Im sure you have tons of requests but if you could do Stagefright by Def Leppard that would be amazing.

[@rylan6984]

Please do mr scary for the scariest night of the year

[@edwardglyons]

Hey Carl. I was searching your channel for songs by Mastodon. It appears you haven’t touched on them yet. So perhaps in a future lesson? 🤞

[@Samfan4Films777]

This is probably far fetched, but it would be really cool if you did some Stryper and Petra lessons.

[@sussybaka7869]

Please do "last in line" by dio, I can't read tabs ☹️

[@naznaz_04]

Can you do No Remorse by Metallica, I would gladly appreciate it, you’re the best man!
