Cool lesson man. I've been playing punk for 21 years. I just want to say: People. If music is good, it's good. If it's not your type of music, that's OK. No need to get mad or nasty. Stop nit-picking everything and just enjoy music as a whole and stop worrying about genre. Geez.
Dude nicely put I commented on this big hate war that they were throwing it into a bigger more complex picture than it is. It's about the music not the type of chords used or what the lyrics are about its either good or its not.
Only enjoy music that says something worth saying, not music that says stupid stuff. Punk is about fighting stupid. If you are playing it, you need to fight stupid.
To all the haters, all of what is shown here can easily be a bad religion tutorial. He used all the tecniques of every bad religion song except the soloing. Muting, accents, letting ring a chord. Its an amazing basic video to get into punk. All the tecniques he showed are used by the ramones, exploited and etc Some bands use faster tempos and faster muting but the basics are all here
can everyone stop hating on green day and pretentiously naming "real punk bands". we get it. green day is pop punk. he even said it in the video. now please leave the comments to discuss the actual content rather than one minor detail at the beginning of the video. thanks.
bistyboy the only people who do that are pretentious. I love Green Day because of my high school days but I love more thrash and speed metal now. A lot of people like Green Day but like heavier stuff now and most don’t shit on green day
Green day is actually alternate rock according to google they ain't always pop punk mainly punk yes but not pop punk pop punk is like blink 182 and all that and punk ock is like ya whole Ramones and shit green day is either pop punk or punk rock or whatever stlye or genre they choose
Punk gave birth to thrash metal bands like Metallica and Slayer. I see a lot of things in riffs from thrash metal taken from the hard hitting power chords of punk! Sex Pistols and Ramones will always have a special place in my heart as the godfathers of punk rock!
about time they put up a punk lesson....been playing punk since I started guitar and it is the funnest style of music to play in a band hands down. so much fun to just feed off one another...good job guys. DO MORE PUNK LESSONS!!!
KNIFE PLISKIN that's how the name of the band is spelled u fucking idiot look it up U obviously don't know anything about punk if u don't know who the decendents are they pioneered pop punk
KNIFE PLISKIN first of all dude your the one who started this whole thing and that's the way the band name is spelled if your actually a fan you would know that and btw I don't listen to blink, Green Day, or new found glory. Idk what your deal is I'm sure you have nothing better to with your life than call people posers on RUclips all I said was that he's missing the descendents which are arguably one of the best punk bands of all time and influenced tons of band. If your a fan of them why are u arguing with me and calling me a poser?
Man...punk people give a lot negative feedback....I saw the Ramones live....wow wish I could do that...I take a lot of crap for trying to play punk at 54...and a stash from the70's thus I feel at home ..I really learned from this lesson...great place to start....most lessons are over my head....hey posers...my friends and I jumped the fence at uc Berkeley to see the Ramones... That's punk......
Love the ramones, Fat mike of NOFX is still going strong at 47, John lydon is still doing PIL! You're never too old for punk, it means freedom, even musically. keep at it man, and fuck, you're lucky being able to see the ramones live!
That riff you were playing sounds exactly like one from an Exploited song I know. Great stuff though. Punk is too awesome a genre and tends often to get overlooked or forgotten, so Im really relieved to have found this video. Keep up the good work!
Awesome video...you actually made it easy! And while you may not be punk you could definitely play in any punk band with easy!!! Thanks so much for your time!! Respect!
I'm a very simple rhythm skate and pop punk kinda guitar player, I couldn't play an actual lead to save someone's guitar 😂. I talk to a guy who's a crazy shredder and he told me he wished he could play rhythm stuff like me and I was kinda taken aback, he said he can't do rhythm. My son is a worship guitarist at church and his style is a lead style and when he and I both play guitar at home it works really well because he's doing cool leads why i keep the rhythm 👍
I get the lesson. I started playing guitar 15 years ago b/c of bands like Green Day, Mest, Goldfinger, and The Ataris. My first couple of bands were pop punk bands. It taught me how to play in time and off of the drummer and how to "hear" the strumming pattern to a song. a valuable skill that is lost on today's "tab-reliant" guitar players. The lesson is obviously aimed at beginners but thanks for the trip down memory lane, 90's pop punk, fast tempos with odd time signatures.
This is a great lesson and so often overlooked. Thanks for posting. After 25yrs playing, one thing I run into all the time, is when so many new guitarists cannot play even decent rhythm. The guitar is basically uselss if you can't play chords and strum properly. BTW, he used Green Day as an example only, because lots of the viewers are young kids. Cool it with the insults people. He's teaching guitar, not music genre history.......Thanks!! jm
Looked at this out of curiousity. Then I realised I couldn't do it. Always something new to learn, love Green Day and always loved the Clash. thanks for posting, I'll check out some of your other stuff. Sure are a lot of bonehead comments on here, you don't deserve that, thanks for your time.
Neat-- this is a great lesson. Always solid stuff from these guys... (Marty and Papa Stache) I'm familiar with most of the common progressions and can lock in with a drummer. There are a handful of guitar techniques exclusive to punk. I don't know them, I'm sort of asking. ... Is there a followup to this lesson on punk soloing. Thanks-- when I try to do my standard Aminor Blues (Pentatonic) Box... patterns 1-5, it comes off sounding like a blues jam. I can't name them but playing in octaves, double stops, palm muting (but these are standard) seem to be useful. Finally... I notice a lot of the solos are duplicating the vocal line. Alight cool.
I feel depressed every time some one links the words green and day and punk in the same sentence. I feel happy when they link the words Blitz sham69 slaughter and the dogs and crass and punk.
Haha! Hell yea, I know everyone that is into punk rock was feelin it at 4:37. And you are right about the rhythm, when your at a show that’s where it’s at is in the rhythm that’s what gets everyone slamming!
I was encourage a guy today to learn how to play and I told him how many great teachings for free are on RUclips with sincere good teachers. He was shocked - but it is true, You are one of those guys- THANKS! pUnk is cool because it bends the rules without breaking the golden rule_ never bore the listener...
Shouldn't it not matter the punk band he is talking about? Yes I know the genre differences punk, pop punk, punk rock etc. they still are all following the same thing which is punk lyrics and lifestyle...just because you don't consider Green Day true punk...they aren't but they still are in a genre in there somewhere
I'm sort of mad after this video, this whole time I've been teaching myself to play the guitar and I've been learning power chords. I didn't know punk players muted strings that weren't supposed to be played. So learning how to play got a little easier.
green day was punk in their early albums which i consider to be their best albums. now they make good alt songs tho. check out armatage shanks, welcome to paradise, welcome to palasaqua, longview, basket case, brain stew, hitchin a ride. those are punk
green day is just an average punk rock band, check out bad religion, nofx, rancid, the dwarves, us bombs, vision, and the older bands like sex pistols, ramones, misfits, germs, the descendents, dead kennedys, black flag, etc etc.....but for guitar purposes green day is a good one because billy joe writes pretty simple yet really tight guitar riffs....
Deepfriedpunkaceratops aw come on man, i know a lot of people think theyre overrated, but nevermind the bollocks heres the sex pistols is a great punk rock album. real fun rock n roll, but the ramones and the misfits are much better for sure as well as many other punk bands....

Maybe in their mouths
exactly heck take U2 and the Edge the dude made a fortune playing basic chords!
Well said
Only enjoy music that says something worth saying, not music that says stupid stuff. Punk is about fighting stupid. If you are playing it, you need to fight stupid.
I never thought George Harrison would teach me how to play punk, pretty cool 🤘🏻
To all the haters, all of what is shown here can easily be a bad religion tutorial. He used all the tecniques of every bad religion song except the soloing.
Muting, accents, letting ring a chord.
Its an amazing basic video to get into punk. All the tecniques he showed are used by the ramones, exploited and etc
Some bands use faster tempos and faster muting but the basics are all here

Only partially. Aggressiveness yes. But the rest is pure metal.
@@OriginalKingRichTv you’ve never listened to any dbeat have you
Lesson= awesome thanks
Comments= bullshit no thanks
if punk is fighting over what is punk, screw punk.
about time they put up a punk lesson....been playing punk since I started guitar and it is the funnest style of music to play in a band hands down. so much fun to just feed off one another...good job guys. DO MORE PUNK LESSONS!!!
Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Agent Orange, Adolescents, Suicidal Tendencies, Bad Brains
Your forgetting the decendents 😏
KNIFE PLISKIN that's how the name of the band is spelled u fucking idiot look it up U obviously don't know anything about punk if u don't know who the decendents are they pioneered pop punk

Miles Hiebsch Don't even worry about him, he's a scrub

LEMMY!!
RIP In Peace bro... RIP in Peace
F
looks like motorhead
Mr. Moustache)))
love this guy! great vibe!
Had a lot of fun watching this. You're an amazing teacher!
Very cool. I can't get enough punk rock! So much fun to play on guitar!
Thats exactly what i was looking for. Great video man, thank you!
Dude I’ve been trying to do this on instinct for days: thanx for just laying it out all simple like man. Appreciate you.
am i the only person who likes both modern punk like green day and blink 182 but also enjoys the ramones, sex pistols, black flag etc
No
Man...punk people give a lot negative feedback....I saw the Ramones live....wow wish I could do that...I take a lot of crap for trying to play punk at 54...and a stash from the70's thus I feel at home ..I really learned from this lesson...great place to start....most lessons are over my head....hey posers...my friends and I jumped the fence at uc Berkeley to see the Ramones... That's punk......
Anyone who gives people shit for being into punk can fuck off, punk is being unabashedly yourself regardless.
Love the ramones, Fat mike of NOFX is still going strong at 47, John lydon is still doing PIL! You're never too old for punk, it means freedom, even musically. keep at it man, and fuck, you're lucky being able to see the ramones live!
You must have some crazy stories. I respect the older guys like you keep at it man, and just rock on.
I'm 53 and love playing it. Do what makes you happy
I hope at 60 you're still playing punk, man!
Great lesson. Ready to write some punk songs now. Just saw 'The Punk Singer' which motivated.
That riff you were playing sounds exactly like one from an Exploited song I know. Great stuff though. Punk is too awesome a genre and tends often to get overlooked or forgotten, so Im really relieved to have found this video. Keep up the good work!
I know this was a long time ago but papa I am a 40 year old new guitar player that grew up on punk, this was a great lesson! Thanks!
Green Day =
Billie Jo Armstrong = Lead / Rythim Guitar
Mike Dirnt = Bass Guitar
Trè Cool = Drums
And occasionally...
Jason White = Lead Guitar
Awesome video...you actually made it easy! And while you may not be punk you could definitely play in any punk band with easy!!! Thanks so much for your time!! Respect!
I've always played guitar, but just recently got in to punk now that I'm in high school, this video was awesome, helped a lot
Thanks for the lesson! Very cool! I appreciate you doing these for free too - donating your time is a wonderful thing!
God Bless!
this is wonderful!!!
I love the way that he just mentions a band and it starts a chain of comments
Great video! This really helped me to figure out this strumming style. I am so used to metal style that punk as easy as it is, it's hard for me! :D
I want facial hair like yours when I'm older :D
You're older now. Do you have that facial hair yet?
Man I saw this video when it came out and 10yrs later it just popped up 👍

Didn't know that Andrea Pirlo can play the guitar...
Andrea Pirlo can do everything.
Great lesson. KILLER strat!
Its a Nash
Great job. I like the way you went deep into syncing up with the drums and went through some cool options and ideas. p.s. That porn 'stache rules!
Great job love it
Still a rad video. My roots are punk music. Goes with me everywhere I go
I like your tone. Also, good job on showing people how to work with a drum machine.
I get the lesson. I started playing guitar 15 years ago b/c of bands like Green Day, Mest, Goldfinger, and The Ataris. My first couple of bands were pop punk bands.

This is super! Great! Thank you!
We want fast skate punk lessons!!!
this is the best skate punk band of all time, in my opinion.

This was a really great lesson, thanks
Love that kind of rhythm
long story short; I learn something very useful every time I look you this stuff.
Great stuff man THANX!
Love it
Here's all you need to know: A, E, D. 1, 2, 3, 4. You're welcome.

I love punk. Thank you for this lesson.
SWEET guitar dude!
Super Lesson ! Thank you!
Looked at this out of curiousity. Then I realised I couldn't do it. Always something new to learn, love Green Day and always loved the Clash. thanks for posting, I'll check out some of your other stuff. Sure are a lot of bonehead comments on here, you don't deserve that, thanks for your time.
Cracking lesson my man 🤟🏻
Cool! Helpful for my future 👍🇬🇧
YES GREEN DAY
Really good lesson, Sir. At least someone said something important about punk rock.
great beginner lesson for punk
as long as it makes you want to dance or headbang then in my book its okay!
Neat-- this is a great lesson. Always solid stuff from these guys... (Marty and Papa Stache)
I'm familiar with most of the common progressions and can lock in with a drummer. There are a handful of guitar techniques exclusive to punk. I don't know them, I'm sort of asking. ... Is there a followup to this lesson on punk soloing. Thanks-- when I try to do my standard Aminor Blues (Pentatonic) Box... patterns 1-5, it comes off sounding like a blues jam.
I can't name them but playing in octaves, double stops, palm muting (but these are standard) seem to be useful. Finally... I notice a lot of the solos are duplicating the vocal line.
Alight cool.
Very good basic video on synching with drums
awesome great tips thanks
I feel depressed every time some one links the words green and day and punk in the same sentence. I feel happy when they link the words Blitz sham69 slaughter and the dogs and crass and punk.
To be fair, The Clash were really cool.
it's nice to see that the bassist of Spinal Tap is still making music
0:45
...octave chords, unison bends, pick slides, hammer ons and did I mention pick slides??
Cool... thanks man!!!
Good tutorial, thanks!
Exploited riffs are classic punk riffs too
so good
Haha! Hell yea, I know everyone that is into punk rock was feelin it at 4:37. And you are right about the rhythm, when your at a show that’s where it’s at is in the rhythm that’s what gets everyone slamming!
I love punk music it's the only style I play on guitar like nirvana greenday
Punk rock is my life :3. I want to start a punk band but i need to know how to play punk on guitar so thank you
Pure 🥇
Good stuff man, what types of guitars give off the best punk tones?
Getting crazy indeed
Rise Against have some great rhythm guitar and drums going on :3
Dude i learned a lot frm you👍👍

Same!

"down down up up down..."
there you got your punk lyrics.
Yeah I'm a Metal Guy but sometimes you gotta Punk it Up.🕶
I'm sort of mad after this video, this whole time I've been teaching myself to play the guitar and I've been learning power chords. I didn't know punk players muted strings that weren't supposed to be played. So learning how to play got a little easier.
Motorhead,, I can sorta hear that also : )~

green day is just an average punk rock band, check out bad religion, nofx, rancid, the dwarves, us bombs, vision, and the older bands like sex pistols, ramones, misfits, germs, the descendents, dead kennedys, black flag, etc etc.....but for guitar purposes green day is a good one because billy joe writes pretty simple yet really tight guitar riffs....
+oxrjbizzle1984y good video though, thanks man....

Deepfriedpunkaceratops aw come on man, i know a lot of people think theyre overrated, but nevermind the bollocks heres the sex pistols is a great punk rock album. real fun rock n roll, but the ramones and the misfits are much better for sure as well as many other punk bands....
