I will describe how signatures of modified gravity, in particular scalar tensor theories of gravity, can arise when studying black hole quasinormal modes. In particular I will look at black holes both with and without hair in Horndeski gravity, and discuss how we might constrain fundamental parameters of Horndeski theory through black hole spectroscopy.
