This is exactly how to play it, taught by the man who wrote it. In this clip from Riff Lords, Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria walks us through the powerful opening riff of the fan-favorite track “Welcome Home.” With its instantly catchy cinematic feel and classical-inspired phrasing, the riff helped define the tone of the band’s third album and quickly became one of Coheed and Cambria’s most recognizable guitar moments. Claudio explains how the riff came together while he was living at home with his parents, recalling the moment he first discovered the idea while playing guitar in the kitchen. Musically, the riff blends classical-inspired sweep-style picking, heavy downstrokes, and dramatic chord movement to create the symphonic and slightly ominous sound that opens the record. Claudio also shows you how to nail techniques like subtle palm muting, pinch harmonics, and his fairly unique chord choices that help build tension and intensity throughout this fan favorite track. This is the perfect Coheed and Cambria guitar lesson as you can follow along as Claudio slows the riff down note-by-note before bringing it back up to speed, giving you a closer look at how the famous “Welcome Home” riff comes together.
