[Choralseptic]

UPSTROKES IS FOR LOSERS

i burst out laughing at that. not because it's true, but because you actually stated it in that connotation.

[stew4rtsmith]

@Choralseptic LOL. Hopefully it's obvious I don't believe that; just having a go.

thanks

rob

[setaa]

ramones (Y)

[allahwantsbacon]

nice vid

[metallicafan08]

i hope the no upstrokes thing is a joke.

[RamonePinhead]

Nope. Look at Johnny Ramone.

[metallicafan08]

look at minor threat, look at bad brains, look at black flag, the casualties. upstrokes are great for hardcore punk. and if you learn how to upstroke you'll be one hell of a better guitarist

[skafolyfe]

says the metallica fan..............

[metallicafan08]

...says the 13 year old who says "lyfe".

I made this account years ago and didn't give a big enough shit to make a new one so by all means do make fun of my user name.

[dearyou1994]

try playing a bad brains song with no upstrokes

[stew4rtsmith]

where's your sense of humor?

[heymynameistyler]

what pedal do you use

[heymynameistyler]

nice loving that guitar

[swindleCZ]

hell yea, cool video 5*

[krapsicle]

i loled at teh buttockss thing XD

[DaysOfBordom]

That seriously works!

[girlluvsgd]

that was fuckin funny dude =P ya swing ur buttocks!! hah!

[stew4rtsmith]

The guitar is a Univox, cheap copy of a Mosrite. The songs are all Ramones tunes, in order: Blitzkreig Bop, Judy is a Punk, I Wanna Be Sedated. The zine is a faked version of "Sniffin Glue" although technically it should be a copy of "Sideburns" instead. The video is meant to be quick, low-budget, and hopefully funny. My main goal was to oversimplify so take the instructions with a grain of salt. And yes, I made up the "Power Fist."

[EdMajinLee199999]

great playing, oh wait, you cant play good at all, or you would have in this video

[dtaw2001]

At least he is funny!

[Raginmonky]

are you implying that people should only show skill when on camera...

there goes punk, ska, rock, and anything else that isn't overly technical metal

[EdMajinLee199999]

no, but i agree with the going of punk, ska, and rock, but techno can stay...

[Raginmonky]

ill respect that

[timezoner]

the song at the start was blitzkreig bop

[lolmudkipzwhatever]

i lol'd

[Alfred188]

some budy can tell me the name of the song

[Cody2Xtreme]

I wanna be sedated - the ramones

[cobracarg]

are you serious???

[shyw91]

youre so right man ... rly easy to play some punk :)

[Slipknotsicz666]

lol swing your buttocks...that made my day

[LemonInYourEye]

Nice guitar, looks like a Mosrite Ventures or something. What is it?

[eppscrew]

FUNNY AND GREAT :D

[mast3rsword]

lol.. not right.

[JeffyHobo]

You forgot the chug, you need to know the chug to play I Wanna Be Sedated, and all punk songs have to be three chords. I'm kidding, this was really cool.

[menchMonkey]

i need to be educated,what exactly is a chug on a guitar?

[pumanie]

cool

[sansebastian1972]

hell yes

[punkgrl325]

Sweet vid, dude! Love the Ramones!

[300MUSIC]

Ramones ALL THE WAY!!!!! =D

Great lesson stew4rtsmith!!

[nostu]

LOL!!! That's great!

[teenidol12]

Butt swinging?!?!!? AWESOME!! HAHAHAH!!

[y5bs]

pretty funny and somehow new - still working on the swinging butt....

[ephr123]

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAA

I found this lesson funny !!!!

AHHAHAHA

[Jimi52101]

Ska is way better than punk and it is mostly upstrokes......damn britts

[punkgrl325]

Most of today's third-wave ska bands were highly influenced by punk rock and sound very different than original ska. So if you're talking about ska bands like Reel Big Fish and Mustard Plug, they music wouldn't be nearly as catchy and enjoyable if it weren't for punk

[GuitaristInProgress]

OK, dude, that is excellent, concise, and really funny. Five stars + favorited!

[locodrumer]

thats what im talking about,exelent

[habbokulen1]

Great lesson

[dogcow666]

excellent vid!

[JorgeZoltan]

this is the simplest, most effective guitar lesson I've ever seen. The Power Fist is the whole reason I'm in a band, lol.

[smorgasen]
