  I have to say again how great this is. And really that is not so much directed at the Ramones specifically. It is Adrian. You can learn a lot from people if you just observe them. It may not exactly be what they are trying to show you at the moment, it may not even be something they are even very aware of. But if you observe closely, you can pick up some really significant things watching a guy like Adrian play.
  
  thanks man, you don't have any idea of how much your kind words means to me, i'm really glad and proud that i can inspire at least a bit some people, and that's the reason why i'm here .

  Awesome Adrian, reminds me some old souvenirs...
- fkalich26th April 2010
  That was neat. Trivia, none of them were actually related, or named Ramone. One of them did legally adopted the band's name as his surname though. They were the world's first punk band, you can find a very old video proving that on youtube.

Hello boys and girls and welcome to a new lesson in the best guitar community in the whole world, ready to rock?

Today's lesson is based on one of my all time favorite band, and one of the most influential bands for the actual rock n roll/punk scene, I'm talking about "The Ramones", and the great guitar work of the mighty "Johnny Ramone".

Have fun with this one, and pay attention to the downstrokes "technique" I'm using here, I'm not using downstrokes and upstrokes.. I'm just using downstrokes to emulate Johnny, you WILL notice the sound difference between them, for more detailed info check video #1, i explain it with sound samples there.

So for this easy lesson we will be using a bunch of power chords, and just the e major scale:

Rock Hard guys!, and you have any comments, questions or whatever, give me shout over the feedback, the forum or a PM!

Adrian
