How To Play Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”
Apart from the solo section, there are really only 2 parts in this song:
- The main riff: this is the guitar part played in the intro and chorus
- The verse: power chords.
Steve Lukather played all the rhythm guitar parts on “Beat it”.
He’s one of my top-10 favorite guitar players.
Here’s how to play the iconic Beat It riff.

The funky rhythm part right before Eddie Van Halen’s solo.

Conclusion
Hit me up anytime at vreny@zotzinmusic.com if you have any questions, or if you would like to book a lesson.
The free lessons I offer on my blog are cool, but you will never experience the progress, joy, and results that my students experience in lessons when you’re learning by yourself from blogs and videos.
That is why people take lessons: way better results and progress, much more complete information, exposed to way more creative ideas than you can get from a blog or YouTube video.
There is only so much that self-study can accomplish.
If you want to see amazing results and progress in your guitar playing, buy your first lesson here and get started ASAP.
