In the Ramones song Questioningly...Is that a B or a B minor?
It sounds like it could be a B minor, but the B sounds fine too. I read somewhere that Johnny didn't pay a minor chord until the last song on the last album Live & Die in Berlin.

Re: Question about Questioningly
Yeah, Sarah...I've seen the tabs. But playing it w/ the song I just can't tell. I guess since they both sound fine, it doesn't really matter. The B is easier than the Bminor for me.

Re: Question about Questioningly
California Sun has a c-minor, Here Today, Gone Tomorrow has an F-minor chord( I think), I Want You Around has a B-minor!, etc. This rumor comes from several sources, maybe even Johnny! Lots of minor chords in Ramones songs.

California Sun has a C minor? I see a C#, not minor. I never played her today & I have always played I want You Around with a B, not a B minor. Maybe because I just never listen for them.

Re: Question about Questioningly
when playing a barre chord on the A string, just keep your formation the same as a major barre chord on the low E. Wah-la minor chord.
