frankwhite Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 okay, im like learnin so i go out and buy this book showin ramones chords cuz people tell me even a moron can play ramones stuff and i still cant really play no songs. so i get this book and it tells u how to do the shit but...its wrong. it sounds right when i play it like for example, blitzkrieg bop...the main riff is like G A E. the major chords, the basic ones y'know? and when u play it it sounds pretty much right and it has those things with the lines and the dots representing the strings and where to fret em and ok thats cool but the thing is when i watch the ramones movies, johnny aint playin those chords on Blitzkrieg Bop, he's playin barre chords so wtf's this book talkin bout? and further to that, everywhere i look online shows me a different set of chords for BB. so what the fucks goin on, can someone help???

kevdo242 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 It is the same notes and chord, just in a different position. You get the same kinda sound if you play using major chords, but it sounds more 'punk' if you use powerchords.Sounds basically the same though.

Slash Guitarist Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) I thought the main riff to blitzkrieg bop was A,D,E, using power chords. Edited April 12, 2007 by Slash Guitarist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw Power Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 It's a difference between barre chords and powerchords. A in barre chord: E|----5---B|----5---G|----6---D|----7---A|----7---E|----5---A in powerchord: E|--------B|--------G|--------D|----7---A|----7---E|----5--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
