Hello boys and girls, welcome to a new lesson over GMC!, today we are having some riffs with extra punch.

This song got a very simple structure, some very basic chords, and chord progressions, a solo that is technically for beginners, but, if you don't have the right attitude playing, it won't sound good ;), this is punk rock baby! The only secret is, play hard, play loud, play fast.

On this song we will be using just power chords, octaves on the solo, and all the song is based on just one scale.

The power chords are:

And the scale is the E minor pentatonic:

Have fun playing some punk, and if you have any questions, give me shout over the feedback!
