You may have already noticed emo music is having a revival.
When thinking of emo music, it’s not a genre people tend to associate with strong guitar playing. While it’s not as sloppy as some grunge can be, it rarely has the soaring solos of classic rock or the precision of heavy metal.
With that said, don’t underestimate emo and pop-punk. There are lots of emo songs to take your guitar playing to the next level; whether they use tricky, uncommon chords, employ fingerpicking, or unique strumming patterns; you can still learn a thing or two from this genre.

Teenagers – My Chemical Romance
Teenagers is one of My Chemical Romance’s most popular songs. Written about rowdy teenagers being intimidating, this song has a recognizable riff.
Teenagers relies on a blues-rock shuffle with some palm muting. There are no shapes that are particularly difficult in the tab. A blues shuffle translates into many songs and genres, so it’s good to have it under your belt.
While emo songs tend to play the same chord for at least a bar, less experienced guitar players may find the quickly changing chords in the chorus tricky – but it’s worth nailing.

King For A Day – Pierce The Veil ft. Kellin Quinn
In 2012, Piece The Veil teamed up with Kellin Quinn from Sleeping With Sirens to release what was arguably, the emo song of the year or even of the mid-2010s.
The style of playing is more akin to metal, with the style of playing changing between the intro, chorus, post-chorus, and bridge. It’s a great track for nailing, finger plucking, hammer-ons, pick slides, and tremolo.
It’s worth learning both guitar parts. The first guitar plays the intro with fingerpicking, while the second plays a riff. If you’re struggling with the speed, just play this at your own pace as you work on your technique.

Therapy – All Time Low
Therapy by All Time Low is suited for acoustic and electric guitar players.
The chorus relies on basic open chords. The verses have an interesting riff worth learning; you strum downwards until hitting the hammer-on and then back up. Given that this riff tends to go down the same fret, rather than across multiple fretboards, which is more common, it took a while for me to nail this.

Warning – Green Day
While Green Day are rarely, if ever, labeled as emo, lots of emo fans love Green Day.
Scales are important, but when I started learning guitar, anything technical bored me, so I liked finding ways to implement the skills without feeling like I was doing homework. If you’re sick of practicing scales, Warning is a great way to work on your dexterity. The same riff runs through the entire song and is played similarly to a scale – after all, we wouldn’t have cool riffs and solos without scales to begin with!

I Write Sins, Not Tragedies – Panic! At The Disco
Drop D tuning illustration.
I Write Sins, Not Tragedies by Panic! At The Disco is a good intro to Drop D tuning. If you’re not familiar, all this means is tuning your low E string to D.
The intro to the song requires fingerpicking before jumping into strumming normally for the verses and chorus.

Young Volcanoes – Fall Out Boy
Young Volcanoes is a pretty straightforward song. The tricky part is bar chords are played for the whole thing.
While playing bar chords for a few bars is no challenge for most guitarists, doing so for an extended period of time is hard to maintain. It’s particularly challenging if you’re playing on an acoustic due to the thicker fretboard.
So, this is one of the best emo songs to learn if you want to strengthen your fingers. Trust me when I say you’re hands will ache afterward, but it gets easier with regular practice.

The Edge – Tonight Alive
Drop C tuning illustration.
Lots of emo and pop-punk bands are inspired by ska. Ska is known for playing on the off beats. You’ll notice this is also the case with The Edge by Tonight Alive. If you’re struggling with the timing, slow the song down and increase the speed when you’re ready.
This song is also played in Drop C so you will need to retune all your strings.

The Only Exception – Paramore
If you look at a tab for The Only Exception, you might be wondering why a song with relevantly easy open chords would be on this list of the best emo songs to improve your guitar playing.
Most emo, pop-punk, and even pop songs are played in 4/4 timing. The Only Exception is in 3/4. So, learning this song is a good way to practice timing, strumming, and counting while playing.
While the tab looks easy, I really struggled learning to play this song in time when I was first learning guitar.
The Only Exception is played with a capo on the fourth fret. If you’re singing, or someone else is, you can move the capo depending on their vocal range.

In The End – Black Veil Brides
Drop C# tuning illustration.
Black Veil Brides guitar style is largely inspired by glam rock and heavy metal.

Famous Last Words – My Chemical Romance
My Chemical Romance songs are rarely effortless to play.
Famous Last Words has some interesting riffs and a challenging solo. Given that it’s easy to get in the habit of playing the same chord for a whole bar, Famous Last Words will keep you on your toes, as the chords regularly change mid-bar.
The solo for the lead guitar line will definitely be too challenging for beginning guitar players, so feel free to skip and play the rhythm guitar line instead at that part of the song.

Blink-182 – I Miss You
C/B, G/B/, Cadd9, C/E, Fadd#11 chords.
They say you can play most songs if you learn only a handful of chords. That saying isn’t wrong, but it’s worth learning more.
Learning chords one by one can be boring, which is why it’s fun to seek out songs with interesting chords instead. By learning this song, you’ll pick up chords such as C/B, G/B, Cadd9, C/E, and Fadd#11.

Taking Back Sunday – Flicker Fade
To play Flicker Fade by Taking Back Sunday, you will need to tune your guide half a step-down. There are two guitar lines in this song, you can challenge yourself to learn both, or stick with the one you are comfortable with. Most beginning guitar players who do not feel ready to take on solos prefer playing rhythm guitar. However, the tremolo in the bridge and the solo for the lead guitar line does not have any stretchy shapes, so it’s worth challenging yourself and trying it.
