How to Improvise Guitar Solos : Improv Punk Rock Guitar Soloing Tips

[07sergio07100]

how is this punk rock lol!!

[thsuxandirock]

punk? sounds more like rock n' roll

[punkman1122]

@thsuxandirock no it does not

look up a band called the rabble and anti flag

[MaleHuman01]

Sounds nice but It's not punk...

[LuffyWanted]

this is punk rock with rock n roll :P

[Prenna23]

This isn't punk but it's some ok Rockabilly.

[sk8r47373]

why are old people always so wrong

[IGI940]

punk for beginners!

[PunkRocker760]

Why do I always click on those fail vids?...

[Iscariott2]

You're playing 50's rock, heavy on the blues...that isn't punk.

[chaseduran]

Punk rock solos consist of lots of distortion and drool from the mouth.

[CTMetalhead95]

this guy is either retarded or stoned as fuck

[TripleThreat63]

If you judge who is and isn't punk, cuz u think you u know, your a poseur( and you'd know poser is spelled poseur) so don't judge.( I'm 12) oh and this guys a great guitar player to all you losers who keep talking crap to him

[Clendmike]

@TripleThreat63 Punk is supposed to be different, so I agree

[TripleThreat63]

If u think green day and and rancid are punk. Yur new wave punk.( has more of a poppy sound. If u like ramones, ur protopunk( old version more basic) let us all remember, a true punk would know that he is using barre chords( basically fancy power chords) and the pentatonic scale( which is VERY punk)

[dunavidrava]

how is that punk ?? sounds like blues- country shit

[rhn94]

@dunavidrava what kinda punk are you listening to? listen to the first, 2nd and some 3rd generation punk bands (green day's 1039/ smoothed out slappy hours and kerplunk) and then you'll know what true punk is

[AndrewOrtega94]

Its official no one knows what real punk is anynore

LISTEN TO MINOR THREAT

[xk9uknown]

to play a good punk solo, you hate to be really sloppy and random. make some mistakes if possible . and do it with some natural harmonic strumming. or dont mind this comment just look at joey ramone

[FreerunnerDave]

this is like rockabilly

[skatelover9110]

the solo sounded nothing like punk but the rhythm does have a really distinct ramones like sound if he had distortion. by the way everyone out there bitching about true punk rockers, pretty sure you aren't true if you don't either listen to rancid or bad religion at least a little. Greg Gaffin from Bad Relgion is the one that produces Rancid, who did a acoustic album like three years ago. to be honest probably one of my favorite albums to date. you don't need to be blasting gain to be punk rock

[MazterSpaz]

fail -_-

and notice the lack of downstrokes and distortion

[xxomgxxitsxxmitchxx]

no. just no.

i hate when 50 year olds go and ruin what they think is 'punk rock'

thats just classic 80's and 90's rock douche

oh and btw I AM BATMAN

just thought i should let you all know

[UnknownMisfit1]

@xxomgxxitsxxmitchxx 50 year olds are the ones who really know what punk is...

[JulietsMan]

@xxomgxxitsxxmitchxx you wouldnt know punk if it kicked u in the balls

[xxomgxxitsxxmitchxx]

@JulietsMan no punk is fast paced music

somewhat related to grunge music and occasionally has screams

and it has mainly powerchords played, they dont use those old fashioned scales ferkwit

learn ur genre b4 u play it u poser :P

btw im in a band im pretty sure id know

old douche

[JulietsMan]

@xxomgxxitsxxmitchxx check iggy and the stooges, mc5, fear, suicidal tendencies...you'll see the spirit that is punk. ur in a band so u think you know huh? well ive been playing fuckin rock n roll for 30 years and listening since i was born. i may be an old douche but what does MY experience on the stage with a band and as a song writing guitar player say about what i know?answer that question and you will know how relevant your comment is. grunge is not punk. soundgarden pearl jam? i think not

[xxomgxxitsxxmitchxx]

@JulietsMan oi dickhead try fishing ur head out of ur ass cos i can tell its shoved up there pretty far

try pennywise, misfits, the who, motley crue,etc... those are probably the best old punk bands

obviously old men start to lose their minds when as they get older, you are a perfect example

ive been playing guitar since i was 5, ive got my own music on sale already and im 15, try telling someone who's actually successful in music what genre theyre playing...idiot

[JulietsMan]

@xxomgxxitsxxmitchxx congratulations you just joined the ever-growing list of YOUTUBE MANURE HEADS! enjoy your hair!

[xxomgxxitsxxmitchxx]

@JulietsMan lol its funny that youre actually trying to insult me just cos you have nothing to say to my previous comment cos you know ive won :P

oh and can u wake me up at 7 tomorrow, ill be in ur mums room ;)

cheers big ears =]

[JulietsMan]

@xxomgxxitsxxmitchxx PUSSIES!! all PUSSIES! i can stick a phone cord in my piss slit does that make me james dean? i eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast.

[xxomgxxitsxxmitchxx]

@JulietsMan lol ur a little late and no it makes u audrey humprhy's mother :P

LOL u eat pieces of shit for breakfast!!!! xD

[xxomgxxitsxxmitchxx]

@JulietsMan oh n btw i checked out a song u posted, and id love to break it to u soo IT SUCKS!! :)

enjoy failing at life and eating shit for breakfast u fat asshole :P

[xxomgxxitsxxmitchxx]

@JulietsMan the newest kinds of punk bands shit on your choice from above

simple plan, good charlotte, all time low, four year strong, we the kings, a day to remember, hit the lights and the wonder are all far more successful than any of the bands you specified ever were and will be

simple plan and good charlotte invented punk...the fast paced and catchy tunes are the foundation of a punk band,

not some old sloppy fool playing with barely any distortion

[xxomgxxitsxxmitchxx]

no. just no.

i hate when 50 year olds go and ruin what they think is 'punk rock'

thats just classic 80's and 90's rock douche

[MrGasson]

if it had shit loads of distortion that would'nt sound so surfer-ish

[nederbassie]

the funniest thing and what alot people out hear don't know.

Music has no limits.

Maybe only for those who want to post something in a specific corner. But hey let's punk be versitale.

[SuperTeep]

This is a fucking demonstration man, this aint a lesson. O and btw, this aint punk.

[emaculate]

@SuperTeep Oh thanks for telling everyone the obvious dumb shit. O and BTW your a fag!!! Well shit, now i am guilty of stating the obvious.

[EpicLemurz]

This lesson sucks...but how freaking fast can he down stroke oO

[master5string1]

id call this so cal puck aka surfer rock but its good i like it

[MLBwacker13]

This sounds like blues

[rejectminority]

I don't know, when you think of punk, solo really doesn't come to mind... The old school punk bands like the ramones rarely have solos.... Whatever it is, '6 strings' + 'I wanna play but I've got no talent' = punk :D

[musicphan1]

Punk? Maybe punkabilly, with more billy than punk. Not bad, though.

[VonBlargh]

Roxy Studios... that is all

[destinationuknown85]

What the fuck?

[puyol43]

you fail again expert village !!

owned!

[thatcoolG]

... dude this isnt punk rock like UHG

[TheIrishvid]

you just went wrong with Chuck Berry...

[pitbull8myguitar]

if you did a real punk solo you swould have shut the fuck up threw your guitar at the camera, and pissed on the floor. If you label your video as punk.....it AINT punk.

[mcmadbat3]

this isnt punk -.-

[TheFretLicker]

hey check out my guitar solo, its not great but im quite happy with it. tell me what you think

[JigsawAlchemist]

Chuck Berry isn't white.

[MaverickJack66]

punk should fuck off and die in a hole, because that is what it wants everyone else to do

[juliprin]

Punk?

[ZackHuckins]

how to play a punk solo: dont

[InFuriatedShadows]

this pisses me of to be honest.

[32harris]

stop putting a fucking label on punk! yeesh..

kinda sounds social distortion like

[bsldf]

jaja punk rock yeah! xDD

[ricardomelvipk]

this sounds very old school

[BeardyBaldy]

YES YOU CAN. YES YOU CAN GO WRONG.

[SebbeSucksBawlz]

this is closer to bluesy rock n roll lol...

[fatboyg27]

if this is punk then lynyrd skynyrd is heavy metal

[PBANDSNOW]

@fatboyg27 o, this is punk, punk doesnt need its own guitar punk is very political, its not the music, before 1982 punk was about ideals and freedom

[Perseoermagno90]

jhon travolta at the guitar? XDD

[ThisIsMyName112]

Notice expert village has yet to nake a helpful video. also that was nowhere near punk

[2xRed]

this is not punk

[thesuperfilms]

guys gotta learn his fucking genres

[8000cheese]

NO! ITS JUST CHUCK BERRY! PUNK IS NOT CHUCK BERRY ALTHOUGH HE IS PRETTY BADASS!

[metalpunk654]

@8000cheese use punctuation.

[8000cheese]

@metalpunk654 your totally right dude, lol

[Masterconker]

song like blues...

[1Bac1D]

U're assassinating punk!

Die!

[halloikbenbjorn]

like 300 000 people missed the dislike button...

[Dimefan91]

It's similar to Sex Pistols style Punk. Although his has too much blues in it

[jsrogers100]

dude not punk retard

[Soelbro]

Nice Tele! I have one just like it.. Is yours Jap or USA?

[sebyrotten]

sex pistols have some chuck berry licks in their solos. and if you hear pretty vacant near to the end...just saying. and... what is it about? insulting or learn to play solos?and, i get here because i wana be a better guitar player. because i wana show the world what i think , about the shit over my country but no one listen to a band if the band is not playing!

[PELLOWHEAD]

The Sex Pistols had MANY Chuck Berry-like licks.

[Arcanage]

thats blues -.-

[curak147]

You got no idea about music... Punk is not Chuck Berry !!

[TheShadyPenguin]

Take off the bandanna.

[HeathyreisaDinosaur]

@all of you fuck tards. Fighting over who is or isn't punk or how "punks" play proves none of you know what punk is actually about. If you really want to be punk then stop giving a fuck if the music is played a certain way and just rock the fuck out.

[vampirepunk24]

@TheAnonover9000 learn what punk music really is before you open your mouth. It's becouse of people like you that we real punks get a bad name.

[jaackkushner]

listen to rancids first album, or any sublime solo, and tell me theirs no influence from Chuck Berry.

[chadewatson]

@jaackkushner true dat yo'

[TheAnonover9000]

Punks only use downstrokes.

[chadewatson]

@TheAnonover9000 =false.stereotypes suck so badly

[TheAnonover9000]

@ chadewatson, You must listen to some very shitty punk music then.

[chadewatson]

@TheAnonover9000 -social d,rancid,bad religion,oldschool Afi,anti-flag are my top punk bands,i dont think any of them rank as shitty in the least bit.

[TheAnonover9000]

You think AFI is punk? Oh my god, please, end your life. Anti-flag is sold out beyond belief, Bad Religion? Oh my god, look message me if you want to be saved from this rancid horror you call 'good music'

[chadewatson]

@TheAnonover9000 -old school afi is punk,who cares if anti-flag sold out,they still cant make good music? what is wrong with bad religion? they are the root of punk and bands like sick of it all and pretty much any other punk band ot there

[Felldohfansquirrel]

@chadewatson I would have to say Ramones, Casualties, Misfits, Exploited, Sham 69, and the Sex Pistols.

[lClawl]

this is old skool type of punk

[frewms]

this is more blues-y.

[Jimmy94spaces]

this is funky !!! no punk !!!

[longnamesarebetter2]

Great Video!

It sounds a lil bit like stooges.

[Betocaster]

for all the idiots that commented that thats not punk, it's a fucking solo make it all your way fuckers, what's wrong with making your song a little more energic by a solo like this? grow up fuckers. You think punk is being dirty and all that crap well it's not.

[jmel93]

I agree it isn't all power chords and stuff but I think he punk rock mixed up with funk rock.

[frewms]

yeah it is...

[Franrgx]

awesome, but that's rock, not punk..

[Patcherson]

what are u thinking of green day or sumit? listen to screwdriver

[jesselakerr]

you nazi

[Patcherson]

@jesselakerr im not a nazi i like the song but not the idea

[jesselakerr]

hehe yeah dude it sounds some deadboys shit it does sound punk you suck

[powerUPyourBODY]

well it s amazing of course but it is NOT punk rock

[jesselakerr]

whats a punk solo to you sound like then??

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

chuck berry? eh no.

punk is rooted in stuff like dick dale.

[Radomu]

this is not funk, more like blues rock.

I doubt Johnny Ramone or Steve jones can pull that off...

[AreYie93ae]

Thats funk not punk..SHIT !! it waste my time...

[Tomcump]

Punk is about DIY, just play the fuckin' guitar and if you like your solo, you got your solo...

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

that's not punk, dumbfuck

[426brandon]

its FUNK ROCK not punk rock! good job man and nice guitar!

[supervinny1234]

holy shit thats really cool

[fgst5]

dude why the FOCK do you dick heads keep pushing so hard about those punk riffs? i come here, on the internet, on youtube, searching for PUNK rock riffs and guitar technic lessons, and all i get is you buck of fukin wankers givin me this piece of bullshit! fukin retards aint ya?

[Ronniepunx]

Youtube is not the place to look for lessons. As you have now seen it is all bullshit.

[1goatinmind1]

there was only 300 of that model strat made, i dunno about mustang/jaguar

[Adrmania]

c'est plutôt blues

[426brandon]

punk rock does not solo! hahahaha

[Ronniepunx]

Really? how do you figure?

[NoriesW]

thats not punk you want real punk try iggy pop or rancid or somethink like that

[PWRNstar]

guys, read the description, it says funk rock, not punk rock. they obviously made a typo in the tile, though.

[986789]

are you stupid that is not punk!

[tribalheadz]

more non expert village bullshit !

This sure aint punk ask steve jones !

[marwinout]

this isnt punk... it surfer music... ugh

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@marwinout no it isnt. also ever hear of the dead kennedys?

[marwinout]

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi ever heard of the dead eyes of the sound south sti???

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@marwinout try to be more original

[Clendmike]

@marwinout Ska punk

[ibcnunabit]

What?! Punk my ass!

Chuck Berry, yeah, he was the punkiest, wasn't he? Whatever. 

As punk artists matured, they often added in influences from other styles, but that doesn't make them punk.

[op2100]

NOT PUNK !!

[JohnnyChatterbox]

I play punk rock and am also heavily influenced by Chuck Berry... You can play solo's like this to punk but to label it punk you are retarded. A lot of punk bands like rancid and the clash do play some similar stuff but punk is in so many different directions these days you can take any solo and make it into a punk solo.... Oh yeah, and thanks for teaching me something new video guy... I could give a better lesson than that and I'm a horrible teacher.

[cgravier]

this guy must be the expertvillage idiot...watch all his videos they are all the same, horrible.

[zwan94]

You can't go wrong with those Chuck Berry solo's?? And this is supposed to be punk?? wtf?

[orfmor]

LoL this is not Punk Rock at all...but i must say that Rancid have some similar solo stuffs...But this is blues-rock.

[nickothompson]

THESE ARE NOT FUCKING PUNK ROCK SOLOS... that was stupid on his behalf, or whoever labeled this video, I listen to all kinds of punk and I play it,,, don't believe the bull shit that is coming out of his mouth!!!

[loick79]

fuck expertvillage. =o/

[musicforaliving]

well, in the video description it says funk. fits better, i guess

[hierdingensundso]

this is no punk!

It´s much better, it´s some kind of blues. yeah!

and chuck berry is no punk guitarist!!! Thank God for that. he´s a genious.

[jalacy93]

hmm i only wish all rock wasn't the blues

but o well it is

as for chuck berry he was original rock nothing more or nothing fancy

[guitarpunk4life]

wtf thats not punk rock at all you suck!

[ginonater]

some punk bands do a bit of blues, like green day solos and some rancid solos

[skueeks]

It seems like everyone at expert village is always cocky.. and they never even attempt to teach you anything. they should just change the title to rock licks or something.. instead of "how to" its ridiculous

[EvilWays123]

Expert village fucked youtube up on is "how too" videos.

[ion1984]

okay i was looking for "billiards tips" and stuff recently... and expert village was screwing up finding annything usefull. now its on guitar? dude i suggest you actually listen to some Punk before doing this? and not just playing a solo to the chords in "wipeout" or something- which is totally a surf sound. jeeeeezus

[PhoeniX726]

i hate expert village videos they're always too short and don't actually teach you anything of use

[BassistsDoItBetterr]

blues, not punk, it gets 2/5 because it's excellent playing, but loses the other 3 points due to misleading titles, false claims, and "EXPERT" village

[bigdawg363]

wow all blues srry dude he is all blues aint no punk

[supergoofyjunior]

Could you tell me what scale did you use to play these licks?please............

[njpunk40]

some of what he played is used in punk. he just needs to speed up.

[furoshus]

Get outta denver baby!

[kingsquall802]

i believe that guitar was eric clapton antiqua?

[KoRRupTKiDD95]

sounds like strawberry punk XP!!!

[asmorgan88]

I don't think I've ever heard anything that complex being dubbed "punk".

[vid4aday]

thats blues already

[BarbedWireAddict]

Thats more Blues than Punk

[occaeco]

yea good guitarist but not really punk. more like some rock n roll blues or somthin. i know its not punk tho.

[dave11372]

Not punk!!!

[idfithenation]

sweet but no so much punk

[pankpers99]

not punk, but cool riff :D

[Cheezwise]

You're very good at the guitar okay

(like so many people)

I don't want you in my punk band cuz you don't know what it is.

[shlick]

Oh yeah!! You're rad!!

[rg37]

was tht surfing bird? lol

[naurispunk]

Not much of a lesson.

[edrick44]

punk??

[nevets815]

read the description. the title is a typo.

[masturb8ter52]

that is not punk rock old timer lol

[theonlytroypunk]

Just for the record, his solo does sound quite fuckin punk list to earlier 77 stuff. Pistols, clash, johnny thunders, a lot of them did extremely chuck berry influenced solo's. If you turned the distortion on the solo he played it would sound a lot like something from the pistols

[inpsychotive]

im glad to know that there are people still left with a brain that hasnt been corrupted totally by the television and new stereotypes lol

[theonlytroypunk]

I try I try...

[inpsychotive]

keep it up, improve the world :D

[FueledByRock]

There were no tips, just you doing a solo that wasn't punk.
