Prof. Wayne Guitar Class! "Kick Out The Jams"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Someone in the studio (with the initials W.K.) got tired of watching "KOTJ" being taught incorrectly on UA-cam. So, on a challenge, that same complainer taught our "resident youth" William Olivas to play it correctly. If William can do it, anyone can. And now you can, too. Finally! Now, once more, with feeling...

I loved Wayne's videos so much. I can't believe he's gone. Such a great person.
I just learned the sad news today, very sad, I loved the man and his book was great. That's why I am watching this now and playing it!! RIP Wayne you were one of a kind!
We've lost a giant. Guess we'll have to walk harder, to fill those footsteps
@@dwolivas it must have been so tough for you. I really appreciated the videos you two did together. All the best.
RIP Wayne … thanks for all the great music.
When I met Brother @Wayne Kramer back in the late 70s I was 16 years old and laying down rhythm tracks for Fats Deacon's semi-hit "What you wanna be?" I was vamping the whole song and my hand and forearm (of my fretboard side) were killing me.
I didn't think I could go back in to do my backup power chords.. Not with conventional Barre chords, so Brother Wayne said, "Hey kid, why don't you just play 5ths?" I was confused. Then when he showed me what 5ths were I said, "Oh yeah.. I know those, I just didn't know they were called 5ths." So that was the first thing Brother Wayne ever taught me.. Thank you, Sir. He taught me so much after that, I owe him much.
…But it’s not only Wayne’s guitar that is special, his dancing on stage, looking as he is at times in a state of levitation ,brings the performance to an entirely different level! Thank you!
You're so right, he danced like James Brown with ants in his pants all while playing the most blistering rock and roll guitar
Brother Wayne has come to testify. There is hope for us after all.
Awesome‼️
ARE YOU READY TO TESTIFY?!😁👍
Wayne I first saw the MC5 in August of 68 in Lincoln park Chicago.. You dudes were playing when the Riots in Chicago started.saw carnage that day..kick out the jams
Are you gonna be the problem?
God Bless Brother Wayne Kramer. Kickin Out the Jams in the great beyond. RIP Wayne.
I love Wayne's opening about "they are getting it wrong". I laugh at it everytime. Such a great man.
to get to learn a classic tune like this straight from the horses mouth is amazing. the internet is truly a blessing
Some of the best on-stage energy ever came outta this cat..... Cheers!
man even all these years later that riff is just electric when he plays it. pure rock and roll
Still so much to learn.
so good to see you Wayne ! i love these videos of people from my A2 days..great times and music! i lived in the Miller Avs apts and used to listen to you in West Pk..and all the others..Iggy used to crash on my couch and hide in my closet when the athourities were after him..Tommy James and his band would stay over when on their way to NY from Niles..Kenny Karnes would hang with us too from time to time and i'd chill at Bob Segars place alot too...circa 1965-71...then i moved to NorCal...Terry Tate ,Annie and kids came out and stayed with us for awhie in '73 on their way to Oregan to hook up with Jim who had a blues band there...ah the memories..by the way you look great!!! bless you!
I love the way MC5 blended the guitar tones ! Freight train of sound! MC5 forever! ✊🤘👍
Greatest white rock and roll band in the history of America. Thank you so much Brother Wayne And crew!
Rest in power Wayne ,,I saw MC5 when they came to the UK at the Greyhound south London all those years ago , I’ve seen many bands over the years but that was wild,, Fred sonic smith was wearing some kind of cape that got caught in the tuners of his guitar and it wouldn’t come off ,he was getting really pissed offwith it , so he took the guitar off and started swinging it round Holding onto the cape , how that guitar didn’t go flying out into the crowd and hit someone I’ll never know , i think someone from the road crew sorted it out but that has always stuck in my mind ,
Gotta love that vintage 60 cycle hum.
I met Wayne 10/27/18 in Detroit and got to hold the flag strat. He is great to the fans.
WAYNE , IT IS TIME TO TESTIFY, ARE YOU GOING TO BE THE PROBLEM OR ARE YOU GOING TO BE THE SOLUTION, IT IS TIME TO TESTIFY BROTHERS, WAYNE YOU ARE THE SOLUTION MAN, WE WENT TO THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL, LINCOLN PARK HIGH SCHOOL, YOU GUYS MADE ME WHAT I AM TODAY, ROCK ON BROTHER, COUSIN FIGEL
R.I.P Wayne what a Insperation coming from Lincoln Park Michigan my home state.
Downriver Rats
We used to play correctly in 1976/1978, here in Brazil, Wayne...maybe you never heard about our country, but we are here and still kicking out a thousand jams!
Peace and rock on!
Thank you very much for taking the time “Professor”.
I’m someone who was fortunate enough to attend the concerts of all the greats, back in the day.
So now and then someone will ask me “what was the greatest show”?
The first one that always comes to mind is one which I saw at the old Boston Garden.
A triple bill with your MC5-Johnny Winter-Led Zeppelin.
Man oh man, talk about kickin’ out the jams!
Thank you for that unforgettable moment in time.
For this old geezer, who was a teenager at the time ,could there be anything cooler, than listening to your band while the police are breaking up a rival motorcycle gang fight, on the floor in front of you?
Those were different times.
Congratulations, on being one of the survivors. And thank you to the powers above, who granted us a reprieve.
Keep rocking and breathing.
Fred, and Wayne just had that chemistry together. Really special for a short space in time. Too bad Fred didn’t get to enjoy his golden years, and share his wisdom like Brother Wayne Kramer. You guys will never be matched RIP Rob, Fred, and Michael. Long live the MC5!!!
My heart is broken. Thanks to Brother Wayne for the kick ass rock n roll.
WK is a LEGEND! Respect
Distinguished professor Wayne Kramer. Such a lovely person🙏❤️
Wayne -- just watched the Tarter Field video ... and you were playing that KOTJ riff at the 7th position too ... so there must have been some freedom from that Phil Spector 'wall of sound' thing you and Fred may have done at times ... Truth be told, I was like 15, and was at that Tarter Field gig ... hottest thing I'd ever seen. I bought the first MC5 album at 'The Other Place' in Old Redford, MI (headshop, clothes, etc.) perhaps when I was 14, with special instructions from the store owner NOT to show the album to my parents ... I did see you guys at the Grande, but after the era ... closer to the end, but that was when I had the transportation and ID to be there. Best wishes for the inspiration you've been to me.
Thank you Wayne! I’ve been playing slightly, slightly different but I myself learned “kick out the jams” by ear. But now seeing the true master play it , I will forever play it correctly.😁👍
I had the immense honor to have seen Wayne in ATL and Athens, GA as well as the MC50 at the Variety Playhouse several years ago. Wayne was so kind and gracious to the fans at the MC50 meet and great. They were all three incredible shows.
Please don't make fun of me here, I have only heard of MC5, I thought since they were from Detroit, they were a Motown thing, boy was I wrong!!!!
Ramblin Rose I found watching U Tube looking for some guitar music. I saw the live performance from July 1970 and it blew me away! It got my blood pumping right on the spot, rock and roll!
Professor Wayne, I'm 56 and I cannot believe I've never heard of MC5. That is a sin! Digging your toons, this channel and appreciate your attitude towards the man. Things are hard enough as it is for the young generations, some aren't even aware of the roots of their disempowerment back in the 60's/70s.
I have seen the MC-5 play that song in person back in 1968 and 1969. Their guitar parts were always maximum volume through huge Marshall Amps and a whole lot of distortion. Distortion is used by many rock groups on the guitar parts, both back then and now. Now that I am older I prefer guitars with less distortion and a clearer sound. Back then the MC-5 were pure high energy to the max and without any restraint. They were the founders of punk rock before we even knew what that meant.
Just found your channel today, got subscribed and then boom! I can assure you that the neighborhood will hear my guitar today. Thank you very much for taking the time, Wayne. Regards from Peru
So nice to see Wayne coming on to do this demo . Thank you Wayne. It's really good that you mentioned for accuracy you need to detune the guitars.
Just amazing Mr Kramer MC5 forever.👊🏽🎸
When he goes to the solo. MY GOD. Havent loose his touch
Thank you brother Wayne! My punk cover band 77 RPM is working on this and was finding all the wrong ones. Thanks for setting us straight.
Riffs like that save lives!
Mind blown!! (pop) there went the top of my skull, it exploded off my head !!! Love this so much!!
OK then! Thanks for this. Now could you do a Prof. Wayne lesson on how to do the signature toe-dragging dance move while soloing like on the Ramblin' Rose video from WSU?
C Kimmell Absolutely agreed, the toe drags and the "spin and drop to one knee" move in the "Looking at You " video are epic. Great showmanship! KOTJMF's!!!
The dance lessons will follow, but Looking At You is live!
ARE YOU THE REAL WAYNE KRAMER FROM THE MC5 ? :) THATS SO COOL , TO THINK YOU WERE A MUSICAL AND CULTURAL HERO OF THE 1960'S AND NOW HERE WE ARE IN THE YEAR 2018 :)
@@sonicjet7759 Wayne is still a hero!
@@WayneKramerMC5 Tartar Field is one of the greatest rock moments ever caught on tape, kiss ass forever bro!
Wayne is an ALL STAR!!!! So much fun to watch live!!
Monumental song. Thanks for posting this.
Love you Wayne keep up the great work and great content 😋
Mr Carter, you're one of my big influences in guitar playing and stage persona, and the main reason(along with Johnny Winter) I have my Epiphone Wilshire. Greetings from Brazil. Already subscribed!!!!
Bless you Brother Wayne for keeping it REAL..!! KOTJMF....!!!!
i miss this man so much RIP Wayne, we will never forget you. keep rockin brothers and sisters, That's what he would have wanted.
Fantastic. So great to see you demonstrate this classic. The book was excellent history and scary stuff, so glad you made it.
This is almost too insanely cool to exist!
Well, thank you, Brother Wayne! Not only I can lean this epic song for myself, but also impress my brother-in-law who attended an MC5 concert in Ann Arbor! I'm still an "advanced beginner/lower intermediate" but I'll work hard!
Wayne, thanks for posting. More guitarists should show up on UA-cam and show us how it's done! (I always had it correct anyway ha!) William, you are one of the luckiest guys alive. Awesome job.
Will never forget when I first heard the live album. Amazing to this day. A true live sounding album.
Wayne, I so want to dance with you and to this song!!! Nothing I mean nothing defines the feeling better than these vibby sounds of joy of eternal music...I just want to live in the music notes...Wow just legends of focus clarity passion. I appreciate your music in my life. Sounds as good now as ever. Wow!!
Definitely one of the top 10 rock riffs of all time..Love u brother..
Memories of my older Brother kicking out the Jam's every morning before school !
Right on, Brother Wayne! Cheers, from one Detroit axe slinger to another... thanks for being a HUGE inspiration, my dude!
Brother Wayne is the real deal. I love tht guy.
We love seeing you Wayne! Saw MC5 in St. Louis twice 1968-1969. I was the pretty girl in the first row looking at YOU! LOVE!
Oh great! All Wayne needs is praise from a Weatherman! They might toss him back in!
Joke, but not really funny. Wayne went to jail for, basically, nothing. Of course, black guys, and some whites, go to jail for nothing all the time, even nowadays.
and i was the guy squeezing your ass
@@klausrain111 almost all go to jail for something legitimate, though, so there's that..
@@SillyGoose2024 ??? You mean their action was legitimate (as in, they were innocent), or the crime was real?
@@klausrain111 whos the "they" there?
Thank you, Wayne, for setting me straight on my tutorial. It's a privilege to watch your video! Bands like the MC5, New York Dolls, and Stooges have had a big influence on me for many years. I am now a psychiatrist in New Orleans. If you ever come to New Orleans, it would be fun to meet you. Happy Holidays! Peter
Rock'n'Rollsloppywonderful! All the glorious tone and stank of the original, but then why wouldn't it. My friend Peter Holsapple is opening for you in Atlanta, early August. He's thrilled. We all grew up in a sleepy little southern town thinking The 5 were The Answer! So glad to see you still at it!
Looking forward to seeing Peter in ATL, and for a great cause. w.
Brother Wayne! Great version of “25 Miles” in Detroit last night!!! I hope Kim Thayill plays Fred’s guitar part on KOTJ at the MC 50th shows. Such a great part, and no one who covers the song does it!
Brother Wayne, you got to demonstrate that one foot shufflin slide you did on stage at that outdoor College concert. Love me some Kick out The Jams !
Thanks for posting this. Being a Deetroit Boy myself this brought back some fantastic memories. Almost makes me want to blow the dust off of my old SG and crank that amp! Really enjoying all of your video posts. Thanks!
I wish more guitar heroes would get on youtube like this and show the world how to correctly play their tunes!!
What a treat!!!!
This is awesome thanks so much for making this Brother Wayne!
When the man that wrote it.. and played it shows you how it's done.. You need to listen up and learn. Thank you Wayne. 👍
Holy craziness, long live MC5, thank you Prof. Wayne
Good to see that you're still around and rockin'
This is just...awesome, thanks Prof. Wayne!!
loving your book on Audible Wayne! and your narration! You are an amazing storyteller and have had a fantastic evolution!
Sonic was fuckin outtasite! Playing those tight bars while doing fucking backbends!?! Legend. Luv ya brother Wayne. Thanks for all the good times and for staying true, legit, and most of all, righteous💛
MC5 rockin’ on! Love it!
Thank you Mr. Kramer! Nice video! Teach us the secrets of all MC5 songs!
Luv it! The good axeman hit the time with his leg.:)
Thanks for everything Brother - now more than ever. Keep slugging. best wishes
Iconic guitar Mr Kramer a great man doing great work for society watched MC50 on KEXP wow that was great
This is excellent. Thanks, Brother Wayne! Can we get one of these for "Ramblin' Rose"?
It's on my to-do list
thank you for the all the jams your guitar tone is magic!
I listened to MC5 quite a bit back in 2008, but at the time I wasn't really quite feeling it for some weird dumb reason. Now fast forward to 2019 and at age 38, I have a newfound appreciation for this magnificent band.
Descance en paz maestro, a usted le debo todo, ahora falta usted con nosotros pero nosotros nunca lo olvidermos!!!!!
RIP TRUE LEGEND AND MOST INFLUENTIAL MUSICIANS EVER!!!
Professor Wayne love your work with the apprentice
Love you , you are one of the best guitar player ever born , brother
Magnificent lesson of Rock History!!!
We ♥️ you Wayne Kramer!
Superb! Will try it when I get back home. Cheers 🙌✨
Wayne thank you so much for all the music you gave us-i grew up on the eastside went to Bishop Gallagher in Harper woods and remember getting the MC5 album and fell in love with the 5-i had started playing guitar maybe a couple of years before and when i saw your guitar -i must have bought it at Kresge and i painted it like how you painted you guitar-lol a just remembered thatbut hey if you come back to the metro detroit area stop by i have a decent cottage on the north channel in lake st clair and the fishing (walleye) are hitiing great stop by and we can go fihing or out to the moot
Worthy of a share brothers!!!!
Hello Brother Wayne Kramer from your favorite Mohawk Brother!
My son plays the same guitar as your son. I know, it's the little things in life...
Awesome video. Thanks brother Wayne.
Nice to hear from you. While I do sometimes feel as though William could be my son, he is actually a young musician who works for us. My son is not yet 4 years old. (He's also a bonafide rocker, though.)
Thank you Chutney. I never did.
Excellent video!
I really enjoyed this.
Thanks brother wayne kramer it took me forever to find the right way to play kick out the jams
Thanks so much for that!! Wayne you rule!!
Friggin mega! And that guitar...Discovered MC5 through watching a documentary about Funkadelic- Loved to have been able to see these guys at the Grand de, but before my time 🎸🔥🔥🔥
wow whats the connection with funkadelic? bootsy??
@@Mff48 Apparently George Clinton used to know them and the stooges, and he went out and bought the big Marshall guitar amps after watching the MC5 .The Stooges, MC5 and Funkadelic used to play on some of the same bills together around detroit back in the early Funkadelic days. 🎸🎸
amen brother
amen
Thanks Brother Wayne!
Wow! Both guitar parts are awesome.
Justo hablábamos con un amigo de lo gran gran guitarrista que es el sr. Kramer, master of universe 🌌!!!
Gracias Diego (de Los Ángeles, la ciudad latina original).
Lo saludé desde Hurlingham, Buenos Aires, Argentina Sr. Kramer, como nos gustaría que viniera a visitarnos! lástima que es tan lejos. KOTJ! y gracias a Ud. por tanta magia !!!
I love that strat!
Thank you for starting up a UA-cam channel!!! Would love to see how you do the solos from LOOKING AT YOU.
Subscribed and ready for more Brother/Prof. Wayne
You got it
I live for that part Wayne breaks into at 2:53 - 2:54. That's Wayne. RIP Brother Wayne Kramer.
Thank you Wayne!
