Marty I love your vids and you help.me learn so much but one thing I'd love was if at the start of the vid you put what grade you would rate it because I don't know if I'm just bad or it's to high level for me Thanks :-)

[@Ratatouille_Remy1]

Marty Music if you could I'm trying to learn Burning Bright by Shinedown on guitar. I don't know if you know how to play it but if you do you should make a video lol

This also kinda sounds like Come On, Lets Go now that I think of it

[@HardlyRamone]

Well, this is a good version to play, and a well made and to-the-point tutorial as always from Marty. I will say though, if you want to play it just like Johnny Ramone, there are three key details. - All downstrokes, no upstrokes. Strumming pattern varied through the years. - Johnny Ramone fretted a full 6 string barre in all the chords, he didn't mute out the low E string or avoid strumming it in the A shapes. - That B chord at the 2nd fret is B minor. You can hear it in the isolated guitar track or see it in live footage. I'll tab it out below; 2 (barre) 2 (barre) 4 (ring finger) 4 (pinky) 3 (middle finger) 2 (barre) Strum however many strings sounds right to your ear, but you can genuinely hit all 6 throughout the song if your technique/tone is close enough to Johnny's. Not really trying to self advertise, but I do have a guitar cover up with tabs in the description if you want to see/hear a real example of all this. The downstrokes are important though, because they naturally emphasize the sound of the bottom strings. Upstrokes create too much twang on the top strings. I do encourage anyone to play the guitar however they like (that's punk), but I thought I'd share the extra details for any Ramones fans who want to do it the original way.

[@deansanton6549]

Damn, first song I ever learned on guitar. Still my favorite band in the world. And I gotta say, playing Ramones' songs ain't that easy. Constant downstrokes and bar chords and the speed.

[@vaughnmatthewtoledo5647]

Try listening the Beatles song......maybe??

[@nicolea2839]

Just how Johnny did it

[@sdriza]

greatest way to build "playing endurance" - first get it down to where you can play it once COMPLETELY (in time, no mistakes - very hard in beginning) then play it a handful of times at end of practice when you THINK you are already fatigued... build endurance quick - and great way to get back in, "playing shape" after time off getting old sucks

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

For the record, Johnny Ramone, a super limited player, was nevertheless very precise and disciplined. 100% of the time he played: a) Downstrokes only. b) In a precise precise rhythmic pattern. He didn't "mix it up". c) Barre chords. Never power chords. I'm all for people playing things their own way, but if anyone is specifically interested in Johnny's technique, try these two channels: woodyamsterdam, and Hardley Ramone.

[@rackaid14]

no it was the 2nd fret on the A string for the b

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

@@rackaid14 Oh wow, mind blown, just watched some old video and see that you're right. I've been playing the chord on the E for decades assuming that was Johnny's way... I guess b/c I learned the principle of moving between those two chord shapes in a way that minimized jumping around the fretboard from him. Thanks for the correction. I edited that assertion out of my OP- no need for me to give out false info.

[@eld208]

James hetfield probably learned a thing or two from him

[@kevinclayton3201]

Marty, I just want to say, you saved my life with these videos. I was stuck and I was starting to resent playing guitar, but your pep and excellent way of teaching really helped me. Thank you SO MUCH!

[@pepsicat]

Can't get more iconic than this.

[@victusaurelius]

Many thanks from Belgium. I saw them perform 3 times when I was 14, 15 and 16. Now I'm 55 and having so much fun with this lesson. Awesome Marty, if you ever come to Belgium, to Bruges, let me buy you a couple of good beers. Take care.

[@boice5958]

I would love it if you did a lesson on the star spangled banner, one where you add your own twist with bends and hammer ons

[@sophiebird7993]

YESZS PLEASE DO THAT SONG MARTY !!

[@scottstone686]

Dude, you are incredible. It doesn't matter if it's a song that takes advanced chops or a banger like this one. You are ready and willing to appreciate it all and to pass it on to fellow music lovers. 🤘

[@foodtrucktime6266]

Enjoying the different genres coming out of the recent lessons. Thanks!cheers!

[@davidparry1973]

Marty, thumbs up for another fun one. I've known this forever and it's easy, but the Ramones are a great band to get started playing and singing at the same time. Enjoy the day Amigo!! :D

[@jcomm120]

Holly crap Marty, it’s even easier to play than I imagined!!! Happy place! (I started with the Surfaris which gives a good foundation)

[@ChristopheOosterwijk]

When I take guitar lessons this summer, I'd like to give this classic punk song a go because looking at those bar chords they don't seem too complicated. Unless I am falling into the trap🤷‍♂, we'll see

[@AV9000x]

Thanks Marty!

[@shauryasingh9725]

Instantly thought of Spider-Man Homecoming soon as I saw this upload. Waited long enough!

A blast from the past put a wee smile on my face excellent stuff Marty these are the type of songs all beginners should learn first especially when starting a band, the more technical stuff will come later, get the basic's spot on and the rest will follow.

[@craigmartin4052]

Really enjoy your videos, I have one suggestion. These are clearly for beginners because you take the time to explain a barre chord, beginners may also appreciate 5 or 6 seconds to tell us the set up that you’re playing through i.e. pedals, settings on the amp etc. to get the proper sound.

Super fun tune by a great band man! Thanks!! Question for you....I’ve seen other folks use their pinky to play barre chords where the root is on the 5th string because they feel it is easier to move between 5th and 6th string rooted chords. What’s your opinion?
