Dude you could play smooth jazz and you’d still be as punk as hell
I'm not good enough to play jazz, luckily, there's punk music! You are far too kind :)
@@anndynegativeyou’re playing guitar in the wrong direction (kidding)
I tend to rely on a simplified power chord sort of thing, although it really depends on the sound I'm trying to get. 3 AD breaks, I'm impressed. Didn't know you got monetized. Awesome dude! every little bit helps in these dark days. Never miss your vids because i always learn something or renew my interest. I'd love to write more punk as I've been a fan since the mid eighties.
Glad you enjoyed the video buddy! I hit monetization in May, but RUclips places all the ads for me. I super duper appreciate your support my friend. Ps. I'm like 90% simple power chords too
Punk to me is like stripping away the technicality and complexity of metal. Keeping the soul and energy but directing it in a simple direct positive direction.
You hit the nail on the head. Beatdown Hardcore for e.g takes influence from Death Metal and strips it down keeping it more simple but still heavy, in some cases more heavier.
Ex-ack-fuck-ing-ly!!!!!
Very good video.
The last chord in the technique it is an inverted powerchord, the root note is the one in the higer string.
Right. Sometimes people call these 4th chords but you are correct.
Last couple of days I decided to start playing punk rock and I'm having a blast. Thought I'd better check out what techniques are used. Thank you so much!
Glad to help. Have fun!!!
Great video man
I recently tuned down my guitar half a step and when you mix that with my use of power chords. I tell ya, you get the best blend of punk speed and metal tone.
I'm obsessed with half step down, it's so much nicer on my voice. I've been toying with D standard on my acoustic and I love it
You just saved me months of confusion. Simple explanation of the power chord. Thank you!!!!!
Glad to help!
The Tom Delonge thing u did is called suspended power chord and its there in MCR and simple plan songs too and it’s common in pop punk
I have since done a lot of research and these are considered augmented power chords. I'll be touching on them more in the future, but you are correct, they're a staple in punk rock 🤙
Oh wait it’s not suspended my bad.Suspended power chord is when u playing a normal power chord and u slide ur pinky either a half step or whole step like that augmented chord I’ve never seen it before tbh@@anndynegative
Hey I recently came to terms with my likes and interest and came back to all the music I enjoyed as a kid.
Long story short I'm here from metal and looking to learn more about punk. I just subscribed bro 🤟🏾
Welcome back! We're glad to have you 🤙
truly appreciate this fam. I've been trying to teach myself guitar recently, I always did drums and vocals in bands, and I felt lame being the only guy who couldn't play guitar lol. so I taught myself all the normal cords, only to find most of the songs I want to play aren't using normal cords. imagine my chagrin.
could you maybe do a video on e flat tuning? I was trynna learn heart shaped box by nirvana but every tuning I do sounds like shit
Eb is basically the same as standard everything is just a semi tone or one note lower. The voicings and everything are the same. Keep practicing, you'll get there!
tip for pop punk song.. take position 1 of major scale whatever key your In let’s say C…make a quick riff then play power chord progression over that like a 1,5,64 (c,g,a,f) palm mute the progression for the verse repeat for the chorus.. for a bridge play 3 of the chords slowly an experiment with the techniques you show here but that formula for me always comes out sounding like pop punk
That is one of the coolest stickers ive ever seen
Great video. Usually pink instructional vids just show a power chord. This one is actually useful.
Glad it helped!
I’ve been producing for about 2 years so I am a noob but this is the best how to video for punk rock guitar I’ve found. Also your brand of subtle comedy is very fun. I just recently wanted to figure out punk music because my favorite band in high-school was Relient K. They weren’t super huge but they drew heavily from punk and blended it with some other genres at times. I want to take inspiration from them but until now I didn’t know how to. Thanks for being cool and sharing your knowledge and talent.
You're pretty cool yourself! I listened to Reliant K a bit in high school actually...cool band!
Thanks, Anndy- great content (even for old guys like me.)☺️
Glad you enjoyed it
Cool video cheers dude, I’ve subbed 🤟🏽🎸
Ur vids helped me learn the tools to express my inner voice, appreciate it
Good luck on your journey! You're gonna have a lot of fun
I love anndy and i am also left handed . Love the channel!!!
As always, awesome video. Now I have to practice!
Now I have to buy a guitar!!!
Awesome video, appreciate the edu and entertainment. Making the dive of expanding my knowledge of power chords. Any chance you have a video that just breaks down the "patented" Andy Negative Guitar thing? Curious to see that in more detail.
Thanks! I don't have a more in-depth one at the moment, but I'll add it to the list of things to cover!
Love it, thank you! I'm late to the party, appreciate your videos!
Just picked up my first guitar at 39 years old because I can't die before learning how to play punk rock. Gonna come back and use this in a few weeks, I need to learn some chords first. Great video tho
HELL YEA! GET AFTER IT. you're gonna have fun
My favorite has always been the Octave chord. When i was a wee lad back in the early oughts we called it the NOFX chord
When I hear it, my brain plays the melody from "Stickin' in my Eye".
Our Lady Peace uses drop D for their songs. They are alternative/grunge. It sounds very good with their sound.
I just subscribed wierdo! Haha. Love your vids man keep it going. octaves works for me btw
Welcome to the gang! Octaves are one of my faves haha
Thanks Anndy Negative--Metal 80s player who has been asked to write leads to some original punk compositions and am doing my research/preparation. I've notice something that of course you punk guys already know, but there is an attitude to how techniques are played that is totally integral.
Right on!
Glad you could find this useful! Good luck and have fun with it!
No. No one can hear attitude
As an old school punk, you lost when you started talking about fancy things like alternate tunings, Octaves, and half steps. In original punk, you were lucky if the guitars even knew about standard tuning. You couldn't just clip out a tuner to your guitar on the olden days. You just got somebody older than you to tune it, and you just played it until you ran into them again. Rinse and repeat. The world has truly changed. If you wanted to know how to play punk rock in the past, you just listened to record and did your best. And nobody would know if you were doing it wrong cause they didn't know either.😂 Nice video man have a great one.
Punk is all fun and games until you try learning The Clash guitar parts
Dude this changed my whole life!!!
I think that chord you were doubting if it was diminished or suspended is just an interval of sixth and octave. It's like going from CGC to BGB.
You are correct! I'm just not sure if there's a specific mode name for the chord, there probably is
How do you get that great sound?
Which strings do you use? Which effects?
Which tuning?
You are awesome :)
Thanks a bunch! I actually have a few videos about free tones on my channel you can check out. I use Ernie Ball slinkies and very few fx in Eb standard 🤙
Thanks man helped a lot
Little known fact, that's Fluff's clean tone. IYKYJ.
Sponsor alert had me! :)
im so glad i found you man
Nice! I love fenders, excellent choice!
Look on OfferUp bro!!! Lots of options🤘
loved this, thanks
Pleasure is all mine
I want to start playing I have made some punk but I’m a rapper but I always wanted to play electric guitar
Just start! I've got a video covering the basics and there is TONS of info online
@@anndynegative I’m deffo am gonna look at more of you’re vids coz I always wanted to play electric guitar but I leaned drums growing up instead
OH MY GWAWD! I WANT THAT SHIRT!!!
BUT IT'S MINE
Those are some nice tones. I always have trouble sliding up and down the fretboard playing those power chords. I catch myself choking the neck too tight, making it more difficult to navigate LOL
That's okay, I used to do the same thing. Just keep working, it will get easier with practice!
I play the bass, but if I have to do something in the guitar I prefer Bar Chords like Johnny Ramone did
Barre chords are my fav too
I don’t know if your left handed or your mirroring but thank you!!!! 🤘🏴☠️🔥
I'm a lefty! Glad to help 🤙
I love palm muting if you hit a sour note nobody knows because it's too muted to tell
Hey there, is there anyway you could run through Johnny thunders guitar chord style. I heard he played mostly fifths?? Not sure. If that's true. He had killer tone though.
i have no idea what i'm trying to figure out on the guitar, i'm not a punk fan but i do enjoy dig up her bones by misfits and then i like the hard metal sounds by early Devin townsend who formed strapping young lad.
Devin is amazing, one of my influences. His stuff is definitely more on the metal side, but not insanely complicated
Just subscribed, great channel. What pedals and amp are you using for your time?
* tone
Welcome to the gang! I use a combination of free amps and Studio 1s built in amps. I've done a few videos about tone on the channel that you can check out!
Good stuff
So I never played the guitar before I want to learn Rock grunge and punk where do I begin
Although I don't play guitar, some techniques can be very helpful for bass. Love the Vid👍
BTW, since you started on bass, could you make a vid how to play punk on bass. Would be great
Glad you found it useful. My next video may or may not be a bass centered video 😏
@@anndynegative Sounds good🤟
My favourite band is green day 😊could u play some songs of them and submit. By the way, i reckon that is bloody fatigue for my right hand to play punk music😭
Hes so positive for someone negative
I will never get tired of this joke
It would be helpful to know how you’re muting other strings
I'm just using my hands against the strings. It comes with practice
Great video ❤️
Thanks buddy!
This is so good thankyou can you play punk on a semi hollow
Yes, you absolutely can
Wait, i have no idea how to play a guitar and i dont even have an amp but it sounds hella fun
Learn, it's fun
i have new things to try.
I recently got a boss katana I’m still trying to get a good punk tone any tips for trying to get a good tone
I haven't tried a katana, but mids are your friend!
Thinking about picking up guitar since my kiddo lost interest. Saw you're left handed. So am I. Instant sub....even though this video i way over a year old. You'll never see this comment. lol
I see you, you should start playing guitar. It's fun!
@@anndynegative for someone who is 48 years old, and has been listening to punk and hardcore music since 1985, it's embarrassing to say I don't even know where to begin learning how to play. LOL. I've got the Lefty guitar, and I've got a little practice amp. That's where I'm at right now. Haha
@@GasStationSushiSkatesat48 honestly I just started learning songs from bands I liked, there are a ton of great resources on YT, I've got a few videos that can give you some basics
LOVE Tom Delonge and can relate
He influenced so many of us!
Is there any chance you might ever do chords from this band called Shelter if you could please send me a message
Did you sticker bomb the guitar or was it made that way? It’s awesome 🤘
I did it myself! Thanks, it's a great guitar to play :)
@@anndynegative I dig it
even if we're playing punk isn't there a scale to always follow?
As I said in the video, there are rules to music theory. However, those rules can be bent, or broken. Typically modern popular music is either in a major scale (happy) or minor scale (sad) tho that's super simplifying music theory. You don't NEED to know theory to write music, but it certainly doesn't hurt!
This is the answer I was looking for. Thank you Anndy 🙌
@@antrace92 glad to help!
Check out Bad Brains for some broken rules 🙂
#1 rule of punk: no rules what so ever
I'm looking for that good Charlotte kind of vibe mixed with avenged sevenfold I'm saying this cause I'm inspired from the song the river by good Charlotte and synyster gates w/ Matt shadows really cool shit
I'll probably do a tone breakdown, but a Peavey 5150 would be a good place to start
@@anndynegative I nailed it ngl
Andy I don't know if you will respond because it's been out a while but I see you're using like computer 'pedals', plugins and stuff. Any advice for audio interfacing my guitar with my PC please?
I use an SSL 2 interface which is pretty cheap. A focusrite scarlet is also a good option
@@anndynegative Oh wow!! :)) thank you!! I will buy that one! Goodnight! 😻
The thing about ska is you can never put it down once you PICK IT UP PICK IT UP PICK IT UP PICK IT UP
Ahahahaha
2:59 it’s funny how I‘ve been playing guitar on and off for decades and I never realized that I can do power chord roots on the D and G string as well…. 😂
*Achievement unlocked*
Can you do the same thing with chord/ note choices. Ie is there a punk chord change? Thx!
That's a great idea!
@@anndynegative Yeah, I'm a metal guy, and I'm interested to see how the two differ.
This is pop punk
Ok
The Fernando Torres of Punk!
Thanks
You're welcome!
What pedal do you use
This vid helped a lot thank you !! Also what guitar would u recommend for me because mine isn’t too good, looking for something not overly expensive and good for pop punk/punk type of vibe
If you can’t already tell I’m not amazing yet but I got that basics
Glad to help! Squier Stratocasters with a humbucker are always a great place to start. They're affordable and reasonably versatile!
@@anndynegative thank you so much !!
Andy negative is a cool name lol
6:40
It’s very simple your just gonna-
Jump cuts to him playing it without explaining where to put my fingers or which chords to strum
(Edit) I’m fucking stupid ignore this comment. Although, if you had trouble learning this pattern, maybe the comments below would help.
As I explain in the video you're just moving the root of a power chord around so it can be done with basically any chord.
Am I just strumming same strings regardless of the chord I’m playing? Or do I have to match my strumming pattern with the root, the fifth and the octave positions? I appreciate your response and apologies if I came off a little rude.
@@charliekill88 it's all good! For that specific technique you want to just pick each note individually. Try playing around with the pattern to come up with something you like!
@@anndynegative ok now I get it, I’m glad I figured it out because that pattern sounds oh so nice. Thank you for you time, you’re doing gods work.
1:24 what’s that sticker with the eyes in top left. i want it
How to play punk guitar like Tome Delonge?
I'm the self-coronated King of the Power Chords, been playing punk rhythms for forty years and didn't even realize it. People would ask me what I sound like and I'd say, "Well, it sounds like I'm playing jazz. Really BAD jazz..." Guess you don't have to be particularly bright to be king, yeah? LMAO! IN any case, thank you! A LOT of things "clicked" for me while watching this video. Subscribing!
It's a pleasure to meet you your Highness!!! LONG LIVE POWER CHORDS!
@@anndynegative Thank you. I hereby knight thee. Rise, Sir Anndy, Baron of Negative! Go forth and continue your noble work (too much "Game of Thrones." Way too much)!
You didn't mention that classic punk rock also uses regular major and minor chords, did you?
Not sure if I did, but major and minor are a pretty standard building block of all music. This is more techniques that are used specifically in the punk sub genre
How would it sound on telecaster , I like telis ?
It would sound great tbh
@@anndynegative Cool, I was thining to get one I am normaly a bass player but curently they need a guitar player in an Ex yugoslovenian punk rock bend in Bosnia where I live. I just like telis they sound amazing,neck feels smooth only issue is there is no humbucker.
This is American pop punk, like MGK, not classic punk or American hardcore.
I know which chords punk uses I just can't figure out good rhythms. Blues is prolly the hardest to play
Rhythm is a whole video to itself!
Video title - punk rock
First riff- blink 182???
I’m old
It says it sponsored now 😂
The free version of amped roots cuts outs so it crap
I've never had that issue before. You should try re-installing it
@@anndynegative it dont cut altogether but ever few bars it will cut for a bar. i think its coz they want you to buy the full version that im really thinking about doing.
Jimmy Eats World uses drop D.
Dude I have an identical scar to yours between my eyebrows.. wtf? We could be twins 🤣
I always wanted a PAIN TWIN!!!
@@anndynegative I got mine as a baby, I leapt out of my mum's arms and landed head first on the corner of a tv. It was the 80s so the tv was massive 🤣
Bro where were you when I was 16 man I was the weirdest. 1996 but I hung with punks just solely for shared taste in music but I really know you can make bank $ just open a lemonade stand 😂. Hey " Don't knock the hustle" I wish I could learn in real life my brain doesn't compute by watching TV
Do punk guitarists really need to learn music theory?
Nah
when playing octaves power chords, what do u do with the chord that would be the fifth? do u palm mute or just let it ring open or idk wtf u do with that motherfocker chord its sounds so bad when i just let it open and ignore it (the chord between the tonic and the octave)
and im pretty sure that wasnt tom delonge who invented the suspended power chord (dunno if its the right but i dont care too) the first band u saw using was nofx but probably they just copy from older punk bands lol idc who invented tho but just saying was tom ;)
wasnt
Use your index finger to mute the 2nd string of the chord. Unless the open note fits the scale, then it sounds fun!
@@anndynegative thx bro!
Tom Delonge wanna be here as well
It's Brian Baker not Brett Baker
If I only got one name wrong, I would be astounded
The chord sounds suspended so that’s my guess
Smell mints. You a mint kinda guy?
Enh, not really
If u play punk and don't want to be a Tom De Long then theres something very wrong
Tom mark and Travis. The Jesus Jesus and Jesus of pop punk
Maybe you wanna be more like Greg Ginn
@@Christpuncher138or anyone ever besides Tom DeLonge…
me trying to figure out how to write punk music😬😬
You got this!!!
All the
Small things...
No no no… im a Delonge/Cobain wannabe
Do the punk
Thanks for this video... and, can you tell me, What setup i need to perform this king of distortion? : ruclips.net/video/jSIzJvoxeqA/видео.html I mean, the Plugins..thanks!
I can't say with 100% certainty what the setup is just by listening, but I did a video that goes over getting a good free distorted tone for punk. Feel free to check it out for some guidance!
@@anndynegative thanks bro! I will watch it! I will make some punk covers soon ,
Skinhead oi oi oi
The fact that you made this,shows you have no idea about punk. Colonials just didn't get it .
Ah yes, I forgot that punk has the same rule as Fight Club
I’m weird, I’m just so weird bro!!! Did I tell you I was weird??? PS I’m WIERd!!!!! Bruhhhhhh 🤡🏳️🌈
