Video Transcript

"Hello, this is Joe Wiles with the Rock and Roll Conservatory on behalf of Expert Village. We're going to take a look at the Ramones, "I Wanna Be Sedated" right now. It's a really easy one, it's kind of chord based and power chord based. OKay? Let's take a look at the guitar. The first chord we're going to start out with is this, it's a D sharp power chord. It starts on the sixth fret of the A string, eighth fret of the D string, and eighth fret of the G string. We're going to hit that and slide it in to the seven, nine, and nine. OKay? (Playing demo) OKay? The next bit is really simple, it's your open E, and keep that finger on the seventh fret of the A string. (Playing demo) Then, we're going to come down here to an A chord which is the fifth fret of the E string, seventh fret of the A string, seventh fret of the D, and sixth fret of the G string. (Chord demo) Then we come back to the E chord that we were just at. (Playing demo) The only other chord we'll use in the song is a B major chord. It's on the seventh fret of the low E string, ninth fret of the A, ninth fret of the D, and eighth, yes eighth fret of the G. OKay? Those four chords are going to make this song. Here it is slowly. (Playing demo) It's a really simple song and a lot of fun to play. In our next segment we're going to take a look at "Thunder Kiss '65" by White Zombie. See you there."
