[@RyanLendt]

hugs LeAnn

[@godsgirl6307]

Thanks Ryan, I have her Ramones and Misfits CD's. She was musically gifted, writing songs and playing guitar. Thanks again for your kindness, you never know what kind words can mean

[@pabloinsua7752]

Sorry about your loss. I wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy.

[@assodclownjr4650]

Ramones!! Legends with power chords!! I remember an interview I read with Johnny Ramone, he said he was not a technical player and refused to do any real solo's.

[@RyanLendt]

well there it is :) Thank you mister clown!

[@scurity8698]

jr played barre chords not power chords

[@timothykinion9094]

Thank you for this!! Perfect timing! Always loved this song and my 19yo stepdaughter "discovered" it within the last 2 weeks and loved it as well. I'd been watching some of the live video of the Ramones playing it and looking around for a lesson on it to fill in some gaps. As usual, there are some KZbin guys out there with some *really* strange ideas of how this song should be played, and I knew since it was a Ramones song, it would be much simpler to play than what they were doing. :-D You nailed it. As I've come to expect from you. Thanks again for helping me continue to be the cool stepdad...

[@RyanLendt]

that is really strange Tim, it doesn't get more straightforward than this song! I'm really glad to be of help - cheers!

[@motownstickman8959]

Thanks a ton, for doing this 1! I've been a Ramones fan for decades now, & I just bought my 1st electric guitar (Squier Bullet Strat). Psyched for this to be the 1st song I learn.

[@RyanLendt]

it's an honor MS good luck!

[@leandrotarsia7212]

How did that music career go?

[@kevinfirthjr.7016]

Thank god I finally found a good lesson video of this. It's my favorite ramones song and I really wanted to learn it but couldn't find a good vid to learn from. Thank you.

[@RyanLendt]

yay! glad it was here for ya, thanks Kevin :)

[@Wakaflockaflexxx]

So charismatic and nice! Expected an annoying teacher but you are really cool and funny!

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for stopping by Tom!

[@argoyle6195]

I've been practicing Guitar, and this is really helpful. Appreciate your work :))

[@RyanLendt]

I appreciate you stopping by D - cheers!

[@nelsonw2096]

Nice work. When I saw the song you had lined up for today I thought "Well, this will be the shortest Ryan Lendt video ever." It's gotta be close. Still a great song. John Hiatt does a pretty mean version of this song somewhere.

[@Slogmann]

I believe Lukin holds the record for shortest lesson. It clocks in at 1 minute exactly :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m17Zh5Kci6xqhJY

[@RyanLendt]

Yes I needed a quick one to record a couple right in a row in preparation for skipping town :) Sloth, you are heretofore dubbed madame historian :)

[@DGWpg]

Couldn't find a John Hiatt version anywhere, are you sure?

[@michellependergrass8479]

Ooh, good song. I love the solo! Great for beginners. I would like to toss in a couple requests though, (no rush though, still working on seasons and nutshell myself). Right turn by Alice in Chains And Until The End by the Nightwatchman/Tom Morello

[@RyanLendt]

fantastic requests Michelle - thank you!

[@jasoncicotte]

Grandma always brings crappy devil 😈 🥚 eggs.. that is priceless.

[@RyanLendt]

[@nickcds3419]

Love the Ramones.

[@RyanLendt]

me too! put sedated on the list!

[@klohr26]

Ramones, never a bad choice. Fun!

[@RyanLendt]

maybe they should have more than two songs here :)

[@D0Nmega666]

This was pretty fun thanks

[@RyanLendt]

I'm glad you enjoyed that Donmega :)

[@dirkpost3048]

[@volvoplz9209]

[@RyanLendt]

[@KowboyUSA]

Ramones - I wanna be sedated. Sweet!

[@RyanLendt]

you must have seen carpool also ;)

[@KowboyUSA]

@@RyanLendt um nope. Just always like the song.

[@mollymaggieandmemollymaggi5189]

6/21/19. Great song! Great lesson! Ryan. I saw Johnny Ramone play a lead riff on "California Sun," which you can see Johnny play that lead on KZbin videos, but that's the only lead I've seen him play. On the Ramones 1989 "Brain Drain" album, there are a number of leads that were played by some other guitarist like Daniel Rey and maybe someone else but I'm not sure. Johnny hated that Brain Drain album. Here's a GREAT SUMMER SONG: "PALISADES PARK" that maybe you can give us a lesson on. Chuck Barris of "The Gong Show" wrote it back around 1962 and this song has "REAL" sound effects of screaming people on a real roller coaster ride. It is sung by Boom Boom Cannon and you should check out that video( GOOGLE SEARCH: Palisades Park KZbin sleazeballninja) on KZbin. You'll see Boom Boom Cannon point to Mr. Spaghetti( At least this is what Mr. Spaghetti is claiming) from time to time while he's singing this song. That video is great! Could you do the Ramones " STUDIO" version plus the "LIVE" version of "Palisades Park"( The studio version has a lead by Daniel Rey and the live version has just the rhythm guitar played by Johnny Ramone.)? Today is the first day of Summer and "Palisades Park" is a nice Summer song to teach us. Take Care, Ryan.

[@RyanLendt]

hahaha love the mister spaghetti reference! Thank you for the request MM&M :)

[@vincentjamesthequicktake1720]

Did Joey ever use upstrokes?

[@novathor1788]

Hi ryan i want alter bridge-open your eyes guitar lesson..love your videos..from malaysia..

[@RyanLendt]

Hello Nova - thank you for the request! Cheers from Philadelphia :)

[@alexschebartsky274]

Does any of you have any tips on how to mute the low e string with the tip of your first finger when playing power chords?

[@RyanLendt]

just to try and try again Alex :)

[@johncullom5998]

Just creep your first finger over so it's touching the Low E from the side

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

They thick or thin E string?

[@Slogmann]

There is no lesson on Zero Chance by Soundgarden on KZbin. This is a mistake and we must correct it! Saw someone else request it recently, so this is a request for you to shout that person's name real loud when you do the lesson :)

[@MustObeyTheRules]

Hell yes, that’s a good request

[@archerkane7193]

Yes I agree 💯 Zero Chance is one of my favorite Soundgarden songs!!

[@Slogmann]

As tasty a tune as they come :)

[@RyanLendt]

It will be an honor to bring you all Zero Chance :) Thanks guys!

[@thebattlestation7113]

Me looking at the thumbnail: This tutorial is going to suck... Less than a minute in: "Grandma always brings crappy deviled eggs". Me: This guy is a damn genius! /subscribed. Seriously though, this was great, thank you.

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for going out of your comfort zone in the thumbnail sense TB :)

[@gilbert4892]

[@andrewolson1586]

Lasy eye by silver sun pickups

[@RyanLendt]

[@AidenWheresMoh]

Do you sing

[@Slogmann]

He does! Quite well, as evidenced here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qF6moIeEpMd_aKc

[@RyanLendt]

THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SECRET!!! ;)

[@Un.reealx]

THENKKYOOO

[@lucasolari3756]

Johnny never played power chords, only bar chords and only downstrokes...

[@jessykaallany2661]

Do The Promise and Let Your Eyes Wander next or I’m gonna break up with you Now I want to sniff some glue.
