Mike-

Hello! I'm going over your song tutorial on the Ramones Punk tune, The KKK Took My Baby Away. Great song to play and I'm sure a crowd pleaser for those listening to this old uplifting rock tune. I always thought of Punk Rock not being on the level of guitar playing skills to the earlier folks like Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, etc.; the basic guitar style and lack of soloing not considered by many to be "high level" guitar playing. On the other hand I hear many guitar musicians suggest to work on Punk songs to develop rhythm skills? What's your take on this? Why the lack of solos in old Punk?[br] [br] Also would like to know what pick thickness and string sizes are you using with the Eb tuning. I assume this song is in the Key of Ab? I don't have a Marshall amp but using a UK70's setting with my 20 watt Vox modeling amp, it's seems to work well for the purpose. [br] [br] Please advise,

Thank you!

Tony
