Fastforward:
Rock Solid Drum Patterns
with CD
This one is one of the best.
It has over 90 samples on the CD,each lesson has drums with guitar, then just guitar. I will post a sample WAV file of something I've learned from this book. Recommended for those who have played at least 1-2 months.


WAV SAMPLE - Garage Rock - Me Playing Drums after 4 months w/Adam O. on Guitar/Vocals.
This is from August 2004 - small part of a 'jam' song we made up.

Progressive
Rock Drumming
with CD


This is for those who NEVER played drums before. Starts very simple, then gets more detailed. This has better practice lessons that Rock Solid Drum Patterns. Has LOTS of rudiments to practice and play along with on the CD. Er.. doesn't really say 'PUNK Drumming', but you can apply it to any music.


WAV SAMPLE - Punk Drums - After playing a month or so - go right ahead and LAUGH!!

I have some PUNK DRUM MPG VIDEO FILES located here:

Okay, they may not be all that punk sounding—you decide!

Recommended Books for Learning Punk Guitar:

Progressive
Rhythm Guitar
with CD

Okay, I'll admit - I had this book many many years ago, before CDs came with the book. Still the only rhythm guitar book I have. I bet the stuff on the CD is awesome for playing along with a guitar. Start with this book! This is what I sound like from using this book:

WAV Sample - me 1988 - Punk Guitar (drummer: Greg Lambert, FL)
WAV Sample - more Punk Guitar - 2004, with Jen on drums.
WAV Sample - Me 1989 - Celtic Frost Doom metal sound
WAV Sample - Me 1989 - Guitar, no distortion
WAV Sample - Punk Guitar - Me, playing in 1988 - a punk cover song.



Punk Guitar Method with CD (Audio)



These books teach the basics of chords, power cords, etc.. You'll have to practice a lot, and try things on your own.


Here is an example:
GUITAR WAV (coming soon) Open E cord and then an open C cord (No Distortion)
GUITAR WAV (coming soon) An E Power Cord and then a C Power Cord (Full Distortion!)

Have Fun! and START A BAND!


If you are just learning guitar POST a file of your playing in our Yahoo Punk Group

Yeah, you don't need the Lead Guitar Book - I mean, there aint no reason to play lead in PUNK BAND!
