You might not see this, Matt; regardless, I want to say you were a huge inspiration to me in your playing. Players like you, Mike Watt, Joe Lally and Geddy Lee approach a bass guitar as an instrument that can be an equal to the lead guitar while also maintaining a fantastic rhythm. Time Bomb is still one of my favourite songs to play; I don't learn too many songs and usually just write my own stuff but Time Bomb and Spillage by Minutemen are two must-plays almost every time I'm playing. Watching one of my bass idols do what he does best is a real treat. Thank you for this.
I remember in the early 2000's living my teenage years listening to rancid all day long, searching for every news i could find from them with no internet. I would have lost my shit if i could have seen him playing his bass parts, showing his techniques and all. I would have started bass earlier and learned so so much.
This was such my experience. Obsessed whenever I could rarely ever catch their music, and not finding out what they were called until ten years later.
Thanks a lot for this Matt. I love that you highlighted playing with a lighter pick is better for this style of music. Mike Dirnt uses 0.73. A lot of people mistakenly believe the heavier the better but it's really not the case...at least in my experience.
I've also found that a lighter gauge pick works well for punk: easier to play fast without tiring your wrist, and you get a brighter, more cutting tone that's often appropriate for the style. (Good for GnR songs, too.) For other music, I tend to use heavy picks, like a 2.0mm, and for a few songs a felt pick. You can change your tone dramatically by changing picks and picking technique.
This video is absolutely priceless. I've been listening to Rancid for the past 33 years of my life and I never imagined I would have access to this kind of content. Thank you so much, Matt!
So happy to have this channel. The ability to learn from you is awesome. Thank you so much!!!!
Awesome, starting with real basics... excited to see what'w next 👀
simplicity brought to perfection... amazing!
Thank you great teacher Matt.
It's a new discovery that you're using a pick with a fairly soft texture.
This is because there is less attack sound and the sound can be heard clearly.
Straight from the pick playing monster himself, thank you!!!🙏🏽🤘🏽🎶
Nice! You should do one on how you set up your basses.
I play bass with my three fingers resting just like you and Ive been so self-conscious about it thinking I'm playing wrong, so seeing this video is such a weight off my shoulders
Super helpful. I just tried choking up on the pick so there's very little hitting the strings like you showed, and it feels so much more comfortable. The pick doesn't hang up as much when playing fast that way. Love these videos
Hi Matt! You were the reason I chose bass as my instrument of choice back in the early days. Thanks for being awesome.
It's crazy to see this legendary bass up close..amazing. Thanks Matt.
I am putting a sacrificial comment on the altar of the algorithm.
Thank you for being there while I grew up :)
Matt I am glad you showed this. When I first picked up a bass i started learning with just my fingers, but then I noticed that all my favorite bassists usually were using picks - so I have just started to get comfortable using them. This is a great video on some of the stuff that gets skipped like how to hold a pick shaped pick. I think I will give a slightly more flexible pick a try.
pick is way more easy....way more....if you play fast stuff....take no skill
You’re an absolute legend Matt. Just got my first Fender Precision Bass and these tutorials are so helpful.
thank you for your help!! you’re one of my biggest musical role models, i’m so excited about this channel!
Thanks man. I actually play with the same pick. Super insightful to see everyone’s techniques.
I wish I played bass, it would be so cool to see a special episode with Tim or Lars showing some of their guitar techniques.
Tim would just be like, lower the strap as much as possible til the body is at your knees, pick around the 15th fret and spin around a bit and somehow it will work.
@@rootsradical yeah Matt kinda carries the band 😂
starting playing bass a year ago. love these videos my guy.
I love how there is absolutely nothing special about his technique, he's just so damn good at it that it seems like there's more to it and some magic to it.
So helpful the information about the 3 fingers resting, the secrets are in the details!
Never in my life I thought I would have "taken" a pick lesson by the master of Bass Pick Technique himself
"Whatever's easiest for you, thats all that matters" is the best advice to give any player. The economy of your playing is going to determine how far you can go with it and teachers/players that stress "proper" technique, or this/that/the other thing as better than other options just pushes away new geniuses. Mayt, you are a fucking genius of the bass and great dude to boot
Thanks Matt have been a fan since hearing Murder when Wolves came out. Love the channel, keep on rockin 🤘. Come back to Ireland soon. ☘
This is the type of bass bunker stuff I want to see more of. Any tips on technique, style, dynamics.
Being able to get tips like this straight from one of my favorite bass players really makes me appreciate modern day things like RUclips.
Awesome. Thanks Matt. Love ya. Would you ever put out another of your signature basses in the future? Wasn't able to get one last time.
I really enjoy the instructional videos. Thank you for sharing.
Great Video Sir. Love from the Philippines ❤🇵🇭
This is gold! Thank you so much matt! 🔥
Thanks for sharing this Matt! I know everyone really appreciates your insight.
Thanks Matt, really appreciate your insight!
Love the videos, Matt! Very inspirational! Keep up the good work!
That's awesome, so far working for me - thank you!
Thanks for sharing, appreciate it
Thanks Matt Freeman!
I've been waiting for this my whole life ❤
Bass legend
Man I was surprised how high your action was in this vidéo. I always taught you had low action to play that fast and that tight. I’m really impressed. Btw I use the same orange pick as you. And sometimes the green one when the action is a little higher.
The best bassist out there! Kick ass Matt
Matt! Thank you for doing this! 🙌
Thanks, Matt!
much appreciated KING
Thank you Matt you're the best!
Thank You
Thanks for the channel , brilliant
Great for beginners! They're future of music : )
Thanks Matt!
Matt, you're the man dude
2:06 Shows exactly how that groove got worn.
Thanks Matt, always curious about the pik hold and weight!
The most important thing of that great video is the light pick ! Just like Fat Mike. It really helps to play fast and clean.
Man…it would be great if you could release a book of your collective work from opivy - rancid. There’s so many garbage tabs. Your videos are great in helping sift through the nonsense.
Thanks!
Hey Matt, I’m really digging the play along videos! Could you do one for 1998 off of Life Won’t Wait? I’ve always loved that bass intro
This is why I PICKed mr. Freeman as my fav bass player! 🎸👀❤️
Great stuff
I haven't touched a bass in over 20 years. i did just pick up guitar again 2 yrs ago. And i thought thin was the way to go, but now i can't use anything under 1.0
Two ppl inspired me to pick up an instrument .
Matt mcall and Cliff burton.
I walked away from it because it seemed to upset ppl around me. To the point where i couldn't touch an instrument til i thought i was dying, and i didn't want to die, not knowing how to play a song. Every time i touched a guitar, i felt guilty very weird.
But my point is it wasn't 6 string guitar player that inspired me it was two dudes with 4 strings. Bass players were not cool until they showed up.
It's a shame not to toot my own horn, but as an adult, i can see how much talent i have for music.eeehhh I'd have died if i had joined a band i was an absolute mess.heroin.
But my old man point is never to let anyone take joy from you. even if you think they're your friends or a jaded loved one.
These little things make life worth it.
And again, what cool thing for a person to do.
Like, dude had been playing music for 40 yrs ppl probably never leave him alone.
Sorry, Gene Simons is never going to take time out of his day to show some kid he'll never meet how to hold a pick.
Il numero 1 mitico!!!
The reason a piezoelectric pick doesn't work is the brittle nature of teh quartz cystal. Otherwise it does work for a while. And it can ignite an LED to beep in rhythm with the pick. Now you mention it. Maybe there is a positiion for a small piezo plate on a part of the pick that is not direct contact. and it could be wired 2 pick up sound. Why, i wouldn't know. But as a drum is tuned. maybe a futuristic pick could be tuned.
Anyways you hold the pick how i held the pick.
I play right up at the bridge. Quite a ways from the pickup. I found that gave richer tone on mine.
Thanks for the lesson! How about playing some songs with tabs so we can play along?
Thank you Matt, 0.6mm is pretty thin actually, interesting
I want to see a Dope Sick Girl tutorial next!
No trolling here...
Since 95' many bands have came and went,in many fashions.
But this band never faultered to stay true to themselves and to The Cause..
29 years ago, as a teen listening to Punks having the same racist issues on the West Coast as the south, which i was living in.
Rancid gave me the fuel and middle finger to loath these individuals. I am Grateful for Punk in general.
Hot dayum i hope to see yutes in Sac..its been since 2001 ffs😂
Can we get a “Red Hot Moon” video!?
I'm curious if you have preference on the freshness of your picks? I have a hard time when a pick is brand new, I feel like I prefer ones that are a day or two worn in. But I imagine when you play a show that those are all fresh picks on your mic stand?
Hey Matt @mattfreemansbassbunker I've always wondered, what pickup do you have in your P bass?
Hello Matt! Do You use flatwound strings on Your instruments?
👏👏👏👏👏
❤❤❤
Maxwell murder solo please
no shit we use the same picks lol
Fuck, the cornea on your palm, is that from muting or what? (Palm may be the wrong word: Sorry, not a native speaker. I mean The beginning of the fingers)
kids .....dont used a pick please
