If you want to play like Johnny Ramone then watch footage of Johnny Ramone! Contrary to what this video tells you, Johnny did not play power chords - he played barre chords (which is more difficult). So if you want to be a cheap knock-off of Johnny, then watch this video. And what's with referring to Johnny as Joey @ :017?

playing power chords isnt playing like Johnny Ramone

jumping around while playing sexy guitar riffs is how you play like him

[SickyJinx13]

Johnny played BARRE chords... gosh people, learn to recognize the freaken difference between a 'power' chord and a 'barre' chord!

[ztztzyzy]

who is this clown?? "that's how you play like Johnny Ramone" which johnny ramone, you clown? NOT THE Johnny from the Ramones. as jmf pointed out, Johnny played BARRE chords, not power chords. purplehat, you don't know what you're talking about, fingering is different and if power chords were "a type of barre chord" they would be called that....

@jmf131313 johnny ramone did play power chords . . . all the time. a power chord is a type of barre chord. -____________-

[MrLon98]

in the begging he said if you want to play like JOEY ramone. wow hes a singer dude

[neurogami]

This is pure GOLD! This guy apparently a) never saw the Ramones play, and b) has never tried to play a Ramones song at proper speed.

Barre chords FTW. Also, you have to have a scowl on your face when you play :)

@jmf131313 Another key ingredient to Johnny's guitar style....... ATTITUDE!
