How To Play 'Blitzkrieg Bop' (RAMONES) On Guitar

Well here it is: the first Ramones tutorial:) Because I'm new to tutorials it was pretty time consuming to make a coherent story out of it, also because I'm not used to speak English. The video is done in 720p HD so you won't have to miss any detail. The next tutorial will be about barre chords and strumming patterns, so stay tuned or subscribe!

Good job dude, you would think anyone who has the balls to post a video saying "how to play Blitzkrieg Bop" would get the rudimentary knowledge correct (Barre chords, downstrokes). A little while ago I cae across a kid who posted a video with that title who proudly displayed his power chord ability, so I posted a coment politely telling him that was for metal, not Ramones. Then I came across a grown man (an "expert") who said to "use a lot of alternate picking"! I was a bit ruder to him, lol.

Thanks a lot for your comment! Yeah, sometimes those "how-to" videos can be pretty annoying lol!

BRAVO!!!! WELL DONE!!! I'm so tired of seeing and hearing the majority of guitar players, playing these songs wrong. Ive never understood why people choose to take an already simple song and try to play them in what they believe to be a more simple style, while making the song sound like crap. GREAT JOB!

@sleeler69

Thanks a lot! That was exactly the reason why I made this tutorial. I have played with some very skilled guitar players (way better than me) but no one could do a decent version of this song;)

Cooksontrains first of all his name isn't Joe dumbass it's Billie Joe Armstrong and second of all he didn't butcher anything he knows how to play it and he rocks. That's why he's famous and ur not... PERIOD!

[cooksontrains]

@sleeler69 And that includes green day guitarist joe...Not trying to insult the guy or his fans here.That's not my point.My point is simple.He did a Ramones cover and blew it big time.If you're going to do a cover/tribute.Do it right or don't do it.Period....Woody kicks ass.

@SpaceAce2704 Hows it goin Frenchy? I had to use Google translator to catch what you wrote. So, you're on the right video. Woody lays it out there, how to play barre chords. Try to learn to play the "A" and "D" barre chords from this video. If you can get it down, then you don't need new tabs, just read the ones you have, but substitute these newly learned chords for the power chords. 95% of Ramones guitar is a matter of playing these 2 shapes up and down the guitar neck.

@LetsGoMetsGo33 Arrrgh ! Je sais jouer tous les morceaux des Ramones avec les "power chords" parce que j'ai appris sur des tablatures en ligne. Quelqu'un peut me dire où je peux apprendre ces morceaux en accords barrés ?
