Bass strings I use (because everyone always asks me)
amzn.to/32kOw0n
Everyone gangsta till the bass player starts playing chords
I love this
Or palm muting lol
Or tapping
I love doing all this on bass
Palm muting with Megadeth and Tapping with chords on Primus
0- sid vicious where your bass isnt even plugged in and you just pretend to play
i think you meant level 11
And Murderface
-1 Sid Vicious 2.0 where you don't give a fuck about the band entirely and just jump around and do what you want
-2 Sid dead, bloated,full of junk and still possibly his most talented period as a bass palyer
Sid is not thad bad bro. You can search of his playing. He actually can play.
Level 11: Knowing when to use each of these techniques.
Aka matt freeman
Level 12: Knowing when not to play
All 10 levels are played in NOFX's "The Decline". One of the best songs ever written.
I can't upvote your comment, so I'll say here, I agree completely!
Fxking agree!!🔥🔥
If you play a 18 minute punk song, your bound to touch in all ten levels and more to be honest.
I always loved how bass driven punk is. This video made me want to bust out the bass again lol
After watching an RKL video online, I went online and bought the cheapest bass I could find! As it turned out it's a pretty damn good little bass. I was used to playing a hammer than Ibanez I even had a rick at one time all were sold for family funds. UPDATE: The Bass I bought turned out to be a piece of junk. Even though the company (Glarry) is willing to work with me, you can't uncut wood! And the pickup collapsed into the plastic body! You get what you pay for!?!!
1 - Ramones
2 - blink 182
3 - Green Day
4 - Anti-Flag
5 - The Clash
6 - Rancid
7 - The Offspring
8 - NOFX
9 - Lagwagon
10 - Descendents
every band you have mentioned except Ramones use all this technics
@@loskey1931 Yeah but it lines up very well for what their "typical" bass lines are.
I really appreciate this comment
I'd switch 6 and 10
You forgot bad religion screeching weasels casualties
I'm 46 and have been playing bass in punk and hardcore bands since 1988. I enjoy watching and hearing videos like these and knowing that the tradition is still going strong. Keep it up! Just subscribed.
I was born in 1988 and have been playing bass for all of two months, so am at level zero, but love to watch these all the same! I grew up with punk rock, and love to learn to play.
nobody cares that you've been in bands since 88 lol
@@commodore6430 no one cares that you don't care
Your pinkie is a better bass player than me.
THATS EXACTLY HOW I WANT MY BASS TO SOUND! IT ONLY DOES WHEN SOMEONE ELSE PLAYS IT!
Get a Stingray. It took me 20+ years to realize this, that fat humbucker sounds like no other. They're expensive as hell, but even the cheaper Sterlings have the sound. Found mine ($800 5 string Sterling) on craigslist for $280. If you love that sound, it's worth looking for.
PS I don't work for Music Man, I just share your love of that tone.
@@haolekoa737 I wish I could afford equipment like I squandered years ago. Plus I'm way out of playing shape (I remember being better than I am now). I don't do well with a 5 string. I want my Hamer back (20 years gone). Or my Ibanez ,that I sold after my accident so I could have a place to live. So I went on line and bought the cheapest bass I could find! (Pawn shop was a washout) The cut for the neck bridge mis-cut. Won't stay in tune. Play soft and Carry a thin pick,lol. No slapping on it either. Soooo I'm saving my money again. Sometimes sh*t happens for a reason. I'll get there, it's a hobby now no serious band or un serious either! Lol! But those HUMBUCKER P/U's make a Huge diff I bet!??
@@CZECHMATE650 Got mine second hand for under $300, they're out there if you look. It was only the second bass I bought in over 20 years of playing, and it was worth it. 4 strings or 5, it doesn't really matter. Play what feels right to you.
@@haolekoa737 You are the Man! Very common sense driven! I'm taking your advice l already started to save $$,
You’re a heck of a bass player, congrats!
Agreed, he's fucking great
I love walking bass-lines. Streetlight manifesto has some nice ones!
Everyone in that band is fucking amazing. Drummer might be the best at his craft, though, other than Tomas’s songwriting skills. It took me a while to notice how good Chris Thatcher’s sense of rhythm is.
This video makes me want to learn how to play the bass.
11: Matt Freeman!
Matt Freeman inspired me as a kid. I eventually moved to metal then progressive metal.
I would have never understood good bass if it wasn't for Matt Freeman and Cliff Burton.
First time i heard under pressure (queen) i ask my brother what is the instrument in the intro. He said its a bass guitar. And i never heard that kind of sound until i heard Journey to The East Bay and Hyena intro 😂 and pick bass guitar to learn after that
There are only 2 levels: 1) Matt Freeman and 2) Everyone else.
Matt is the absolute GOAT
tony lombardo etc
Scott Shiflett of Face To Face kills it on bass
Freeman is really good. Honestly it depends on what we are defining as punk. Like is motorhead and primus punk?
@@kckillakrack9714 You've hit the nail on the head here. If you're older than 12 or 13, who gives a shit if it's "punk", as long as you enjoy it that's all that matters.
And, no matter how much you enjoy it, you probably won't make any money listening to it.
So enjoy it for what it is and fuck all the bullshit :)
This dudes left hand is absolutely murdering frets! He is SO good!
Chuck Dukowski "Six Pack" intro,especially version on "Damaged", is most amazing punk bass line EVER!
#11 - The Finger Picker
Or “He who must not be named”.
@@SugarpillProd I feel like that statement holds true for any given member of the descendents on their respective instrument
@@skamusician The comment to which you're responding was deleted, but my first thought on watching videos like this is always "Why don't people include the Descendents on these lists?" They and NOFX are the most collectively skilled bands in the punk scene by a mile. They have real technique and approach. It adds so much dimension.
@@kevinconnor6035 Throw in Bad Religion and you've got the trifecta of punk.
Some UA-cam videos make my right hand tired, this one made my left hand tired.
That shirt rocks
Power driver
Dan Andriano (Alkaline Trio) is a master of all of these.
Beautifully done, not one missed beat. Hats off to you Mr. Bassist, good job! 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks a lot!
Level 11: Matt Freeman of Rancid
That bass tone gives me goosebumps! Love MusicMan! Great video brother keep kicking ass.
I got hypnotized watching the strings vibrate.
One of my favourite videos so far. Thank you! :D
That tone is perfect
You are literally one of the only channels on UA-cam that I have ever seen demonstrate 100% proper technique in both hands.
Like, you’re actually good and clearly know what you’re doing on the instrument.
I’m astonished.
Gems do exist.
I really liked this vid. Cool way to show the different techniques. #3 and #6 are probably my favorites to hear in punk.
Your tone is phenomenal, makes the bass chords sound insanely pretty paired with the guitar.
This video helped my bass playing more than a few years of lessons did hahaha thank you so much!!!
Surprisingly John Taylor of Duran Duran is an exceptional base player!
Smooooth, nice work!
I love #1 and #10. Simple and powerful.
You are killing it!!!
Dude! You made my day!
Inspiring. Nice tone and mix too 👌
Holly Molly! That was freaking awesome!
Why the hell do you have a Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge shirt?! You should have Bonestorm!!!
@@SugarpillProd you should have told her "BUY ME BONESTORM OR GO TO HELL!"
"Did you dislike this video? You have selected: no"
well played sir
Crazy, I gotta tick 9 out of these 10 that I'm using on a regular basis, haha.
Well played, sir. Well played indeed!
Love the shirt!
There should be a level 11 called Matt Freeman
"I would suggest feathered touch.
You have entered power drive."
This sorta reminded me of Letterbomb.
I thought I was the only one!
Wicked video. You’re a legend. 10/10
Wow congrats for the video, nice skills!
Sounds so GOOOOOD!
Really cool, man!!
This made me want to start playing again
Did you?
Very clean and smooth. Would've liked to hear you play the last two measures of level 10 down the neck more :)
3, 4 and 6just remind me of Anti Flag “ANKOA” days
Chris#2 is the shiz
Found my new bass exercise!
Amazing
3:18 lol
Another great inspiring bass video 👍🤟🤟🤟keep doing what your doing
So cool bro!
Badass video! I really enjoyed it. I am only really at root note playing but hope to at the least get to creating a melody type style soon.
Pretty slick.
Killer jam dude. Those 16ths.
Cool video, so good
Dude you're good!
Pretty cool!! ❤❤
Amazing!!!!
Awesome shirt!
the shirt is amazing!
Fresh video idea 🔥
Great video, love your shirt 😂
Travis Barker is my favorite punk bass player.
i like george harrison better
Do you mean Mark Hoppus
very good video and very good decision to start with blink 182
My FAVORITE BASS VIDEO
Very very good sound!!!!
Nice!
I need to know where you got that shirt.
dude that was fucking sick
Pick on bass ftw.
Ehh
Bass with pick = not epic
-Davie
@@Lezxuiq punk ≠ funk
@@Lezxuiq Davie = overrated
- Me
Just found your vids after stumbling across your awesome Mike Dirnt vids, such an awesome tone.
Great to hear how versatile a SterlingRay34 / Stingray can be and cut through as much as a PBass in punk rock.
I’ve got the exact same Ray34 in Stealth Black but struggle to get a decent punk tone, how have you set up your EQ?
Love the sound that you are getting!
Love the shirt
nice skills bro
that root note chord progression kinda reminds me of a solo part from "A Line in the Sand"..
Nice one but I want this music Man bass like this but similar to Dave Farrell. Nice job making a song as a Backing Track for guitar!
Gotta jam this and practice to use to cover soon with an collaboration.
Steve Youth 7 Seconds , Mike Watt Minutemen , Harley Flanagan Cromags , Daryl Bad Brains , Kira Roesslar Black Flag , Russ Underdog , Bruce Foxton Jam/ SLF
Karl Alvarez-Descendents/ALL, Chuck Dukowski- Black Flag (Love Kira's work too, but she played what Greg wrote. She really shines in Dos, alongside Mike Watt), Klaus Flouride- Dead Kennedys, Rob Wright- NoMeansNo, Joe Lally-Fugazi, Jason Black- Hot Water Music -lots of great players! You get extra points for mentioning Russ from Underdog too- great band!
Hey! Who do you think you are? Name checking good punk bands like that, you must be some type of elitist
I'm currently at level 0.5 which is not knowing wtf you are doing but having a lot of fun :D
Clicked for the video. Subbed for the Simpsons shirt. Great work man.
It’d be way cool to see 10 levels of punk guitar and drums
What a great exercise! Do you have tabs to this I can buy on your website?
Good video you left a lot of much better bands with way better bassists out
It wasn't about any bands though?
I actually try to master all these levels, but there is something about the sound of a palm muted bass, that i do not enjoy.
Absolutely amazing video, keep on going✌🏽
I've never felt the need to do it back when I played in bands. It sounds pretty crappy and is totally unnecessary, imo. The palm muting that is.
Everyone will say Ramones as it’s Dee Dee and he’s cool and Sid copied his style but judged on bass playing alone I would prefer Matt Freeman.. Others’ I like Klaus Flouride, Joe Lally and here is one most will have to research Paul Slack, highly underrated.
Klaus Flouride is amazing and so under rated. Would add Rob Wright I still can't play his lines at full speed honestly.
Aleksandar Atanasovic I shook Klaus’s hand a few years back. Anyone takes his inspiration from a Lemmy is alright in my book plus he gets Mike Watt’s endorsement
Ironically, Dee Dee was the main songwriter for the Ramones, and had to dumb down his playing because Johnny refused to play anything other than power chords.
Sid shouldn't even be in the equation. He was only there for the bands image.
I agree on Sid not being mentioned, he really couldn't play. Glen Matlock was (and is) a very good bass player even though all the bass parts on "Never Mind The Bollocks" were played by Steve Jones (there was a "buried" bass part on "Bodies" that Sid did, I think that was just to say he was on the album.
Level 11: Les Claypool
No
Matt freeman.
Good shit
awesome
I used to record punk rock bands back in late 1980s, in Belfast NI, and it took me years later to figure out why their rock didn't pop :-)
Hey, cool vid!
Can someone help me? I really like the basstone of anti-flag's bassist especialy in the press corpse song, how do i get such a crunching tone? Or something that sounds like in this vid? Thx
Couple of things: Hitting the notes really hard with your left hand helps you get that crunchy tone. Boost the mids with your EQ. A lot of time that crunchy tone is also supplemented with gain and overdrive, although I'd say to not overdo it with those.
@@SilverlandgmodTV okey, i'll try it out! Thx
If you are talking about Chris Barker, He uses a Sans-Amp Bass Driver DI by Tech 21 its a "pedal" (sort of). Go to EquipBoard.com and search his name. It'll show you most of the gear he has used, or just about any artists. The gear is confirmed by the artists themselves from interviews where they talked about what gear they used (both written and video interviews) or photographic evidence of them playing said gear.
love green day bass technique
สุดยอด ชอบครับ
"You have entered..power drive!"
What do you use to record full songs like this? Sounds amazing!
listening to this reminded me or the punk-o-matic
