I agree with this 💯 at the end of the day, it SOUNDS great. It's the guys creativity, delivery and attitude that gives it musical merit, not how many techniques are utilised. You can have all the technique in the world, but if you can't use it in an individually creative and musical way, it means nothing. Too many youngsters don't realise this, it's the age of the short attention span. Everyone wants to learn how to play fast, to play fast...treating the guitar like a video game. Playing fast is a runaway train going nowhere, after all, you can train a monkey to change a tyre. Whether you play one note or a million, it's all about the HOW.

East Bay Ray and Klaus Fluoride were tight enough to be the rougher edged American answer to Johny Marr and Andy Rourke (RIP) of The Smiths, and Ray's solos on tracks like "Pull My Strings" "Holiday In Cambodia," and "Moons Over Marin" are up there with the best. D.H. Peligro wasn't too shabby of a drummer, not just being able to keep up with the breakneck pace of Jello Biafra's standard songwriting not also sliding into straight up jazz drumming in the intro to "We've Got a Bigger Problem Now" and "Night of the Living Rednecks." They also get props for being the first band to get a song with a swear word in its title onto the UK Top 40 with "Too Drunk to Fuck."

No. It does require talent. The word you’re looking for is technique, it doesn’t require a shedload of technique. It needs quite a bit of talent to play that one repeated note, in time and with the micro dynamics the playing contains. It takes more talent to understand that the bloated excesses of Zeppelin and Queen et al, where the audience was ‘not worthy’, can be subverted by doing the opposite, in guitar solo terms. And bringing music back to young people, where it was born and where it belonged in those days. To inspire and include, rather than to impress and show off. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind a bit of Zep these days. But in the late 70s early 80s, musicians like the Ramones spoke to us in a way that uber wealthy sex-pests like Page didn’t.

MC5 and even Bowie, the creativity and attitude shone brightly. Much brighter at the time than a session player who, despite the distortion, was hard to distinguish from the head nodding ‘nice’ Freeform jazz stuff that seemed to have disappeared up its own arse. The context is important. I know it’s said now, but we were told we were the first generation that would be poorer than our parents and that’s mostly true. We still had the Cold War, duck and cover and the 60s idealistic stuff had fizzled out into the same old same old. Celebrities and excess.

Nope the correct word is talent. Technique is the specific skill you are using. For example tapping is a technique, sweep picking is a technique and alternate picking those are all different techniques. No it really does not require a lot of talent to play that solo, it bloody easy as hell, its something beginners learn when they start learning guitar because its so easy. That being said it still sounds musically pleasing, things don't have to be supper hard to be musically pleasing.

The series is focused specifically about the history of the guitar solo, and as much as there are some fine examples of them in those genres (A Forest by The Cure comes to mind), it does feel like they were not quite at the centrepiece of the composition, certainly not like in metal.

So you haven't heard about harsh noise I take it: a genre that doesn't just not require talent, but actively ideologically rejects talent. It's the punk ideology taken to it's absolute extreme of anarchistic excess: no rhythm, no melody, no song structure, no talent, no meaning, no limits. The void staring back at you sounds like Vomir.

Johnny Ramone was more than capable of playing something flashier. He just had a vision and a desire to deconstruct 70’s bullshit excesses and bring rock and roll back to its pure and passionate roots. He’s like the abstract painter who does what looks on the surface to be a scribble, but has so much more meaning behind it. That painter is more than capable or doing a photorealistic recreation of something, but they find that to be lifeless and empty. Punk rock is passion and emotion winning out over polish.

I've been learning guitar for awhile now and I suck ass. But one thing I've learned from my own playing is that it feels like if you want to solo you can either try and make the most impressive OR the most musical solo. Jimmy Page is amazing, but he doesn't make his guitar scream the way someone like Jeff Beck or Prince do.

One of the greatest aspects of punk was the fact that so many people who would have never pick up a guitar felt like they could give it a shot because all you need to know is 3 cords. And another thing, weather it’s technical or simple doesn’t matter at all. It’s about how the music makes you think and feel.

Idk man they are usually shorter than rock solos but some are quality. IE: Social Distortions Don’t Drag Me Down’s solo is short but powerful and fits perfectly with the song and the angry lyrics and the solo itself sounds just as angry. In my mind you Can’t get much more punk than that.

That's Johnny Ramone's guitar style, always made to compliment the music and not make the music, at least when it comes to his solos and the few lead riffs he performed. I see a lot of people are taking this as Johnny Ramone was not a talented guitarist and that is so far from the truth, it's 10 mi away from it. A lot of people don't realize the amount of skill it takes to play that quickly that often, and the Ramones music, particularly Johnny's guitar playing, only got faster and faster as the years went on. Like, watch a live video of them from the 70s and then watch a live video of them from 1995, they are easily playing at almost double speed just because they can. With all that being said, anybody who complains about the Ramones music being simple is missing the point of them, they were never meant to be flashy. They were meant to be a contrast to all the more complex and technical rock music of the time, a throwback to the more simple time of OG rock and roll if you will. Lastly, I get you're making a joke here, but there are some seriously awesome punk guitar solos that exist across all punk subgenres. Some bands with particularly awesome guitar work that also fit the bill of punk rock include NOFX ("Soul Doubt" is a great example), My Chemical Romance ("Thank You For the Venom" and "Dead!" Immediately come to thought) or even some more OG bands, like Suicidal Tendencies ("Institutionalized" and "I Saw Your Mommy" are my favorite examples) or Black Flag (all of their guitar solos tend to stand out due to most of them being atonal, something that is not common in punk rock). You have to remember that not every punk guitarist is Johnny Ramone, Billie Joe Armstrong, or Dexter Holland, some of them shine brighter than the others, no discredit to the gentleman I named.

To be fair, the statement "No talent required" is false; maintaining downstrokes on a single note, or chord, at that tempo takes some talent. Watch a non-player and see. The solo serves the song. It's no Satriani, but it suits the song.
