The first time ever I’ve heard a Rancid song was Maxwells Murder. No need to say that i was blown away by the energy of the song and the bass solo. A masterpiece for sure
That was the song that blew me away. Of course I heard Time Bomb, Fall Back Down, and Ruby Soho but I didn’t dive into their catalogue until I heard Maxwell Murder
it's so hard to believe he wrote and played the lines he did in op ivy when he was only 17 or 18. I heard bombshell and sound system and no longer wanted to learn guitar but instead play bass
Great to see the great Matt Freeman getting respect... Too many "how to play bass" channels overlook him for being "just" a punk bass player that uses a pick. Thanks for spotlighting REAL bass talent, Freeman truly is the greatest bass player in the world!
A video on Paul Simonon would be greatly appreciated. This videos examining specific players are great. Even when they are on musicians I’m not a fan of I always learn something. Well done.
Fat Mike of NoFX is a really unique and underrated bassist. He has a lot if idiosyncrasies that are unique to his playing technique and sound (for example his use of upstrokes). He might be worth taking a look at.
@Angelo Figueiredo that's some awesome info man, I can only pull off triplets by doing a down pick (tri), hammering on to a note(pl), then an up stroke(et) immediately after the hammer on. I'm mainly a guitarist, but have as much (maybe more) love and respect for drums and bass. I always wondered how fat Mike pulled that off, because watching him do it.. his fingers and hands don't match up to the sound coming out of his bass.
There's a great video he did for Fender where he talks about having terrible left-hand technique and how he just makes it work for himself by figuring out ways to get around it, and now that I've watched this I see that having theoretical knowledge is a huge boost when taking that on.
I love Matt Freeman's playing! He was one of the ones who made me really listen to bass. When I was just starting to get decent at bass, I learned his bass lines along with my practice routine.
I love Rancid and when I was a young teen listening to them I couldn't help noticing how they stood out musically compared to other bands. It wasn't until a little later that I realized it was Matts playing. His bass lines makes their songs so much fuller and richer sounding.
I've been emulating Matt on bass for 20 years and never realized the way he switches where on the neck he picks! (And even though I realized the rest of the tricks, it was still helpful to see them highlighted -- especially the non-diatonic notes!) Thanks for the great breakdown
Hey Paul, veteran bassist of 35+ years, & 1st (but not last) time tuning in, great so far! I'm about 5 minutes into this and had to stop & comment. I much appreciate you pointing out one of many sublime (or bold) techniques bassists can employ, to steer the mood of a song --or many songs. Using the 3rd etc.to determine M /m when guitars haven't ..wasn't taught me -- just 'realized' over time,. That's a powerful one! One I wish I'd known far far sooner..
I got to see them play live back in September and his playing was,,, he's fucking iconic, man. I've always loved Rancid for how well you can hear the bass and how to really pulls their songs together and Matt's made me want to learn how to play bass myself. Seeing him play live was fucking amazing.
Matt Freeman gets over looks more often than not when talking about influential bass players. With that in mind I'd like to say thanks for giving him the spotlight in this video. I know there are a ton of us who picked up the 4-string because of his style.
Yeah they don't mention him on the greatest bass player and he eats all of those mentioned for lunch he is the best man I can't even imagine how they missed this monster player!!!!!!
I'm a guitar player who's just now trying to learn the bass more. This is a perfect video because I absolutely love his style but have like no idea how he comes up with his stuff.
Matt is definitely an insane bassist, the first time I heard his bass solo on Maxwell Murder I was blown away by how fast it was and the fact that he can sing while playing is so damn good
as a really really big fan of Matt and RANCID for the past 25 years, i really think you nailed this video. I highly recommend doing all of the things he does, he is rad.
Cool video. I'm pretty sure most of these things Matt Freeman does on pure instinct. And while I agree with you that his overall bass playing separates him from the average bass player in the punk genre. There are still many other punk bassist who use and have used similar and even more complex technique than Matt. Check out Bomber or Joe Raposo from RKL, Mike Watt from Minutemen, Tony Lombardo from descendants, Jay Bentley from Bad Religion, Matt Hanafin from the Excrements, Eric Wilson from Sublime. I am not trying to correct you, your video was great! I just thought adding a list of the many other great punk bass players would provide some contrast. And to some people might offer some insight that punk bass players aren't always like Sid Vicious. Looking back at the talent within the lineage of punk Bassist I'm sure they could hold up against any other modern genre, as far as musicianship and talent. Its kind of unfortunate that most people will never know that. But in a way, that might be ideal. I have always liked to share & turn people onto punk rock music. But I feel some people out there have to earn it. Or else it will just get watered down & overhyped & played out to the point where it feels like you are being force-fed , which for me is almost torture. If u are into Matt Freemen's bass playing style. u might like a free 15 song album I have on my channel. My old band Shit Outta Luck. I play bass and guitar (and everything else too) I won't put a link because most probably aren't interested. but if truly love this style of music and are curious just click my profile and I have it saved as a playlist. U might dig it, u might not. This is only my 3rd time promoting it and I am hardly doing a good job of that.. lol see ya in the pit...
With all my respect for RKL, Bad Religion etc., Matt Freeman is way on another level; his pick technique makes every song where he is using it a lesson to learn. But more importantly, he's a great musician
Just came across your channel, and I love it brotha! I'm mainly a guitarist, but started music on drums, then went to bass (only playing root notes to my favorite punk songs) then to guitar. I have so much love for drums and bass because they were the first instruments on my way to becoming a self taught guitarist, drums teaching be tempo, and bass honing my ear. Now, after playing guitar I've gone back to bass and utilize everything I've taught myself of guitar to become a better bassist. Much love for your videos, I hope you're able to make content for a long time to come!
Yes Yes Yes and Yes @Paul Del Bello, this is fantastic. These are all the things I have learned from studying Matt over the years. RH Placement is a really big deal for a lot of his bass lines for sure. Thank you for uploading this!!

My dad and his dad both played bass going all the way back to the early 60s, but I had no in playing bass until I first heard Matt Freeman. He is the reason I play bass and not drums.
the G in time bomb is actually the 7th in an A mixolydian scale. l'd argure it's more of a E5/A7. also one of the most important things about his sound is the fact that he mostly plays P-Basses, preferably heavy late 70s ash bodies with maple necks. this is what brings out the strong mids
Brand new to your channel absolutely loved this video. Journey to the end of east bay is one of my favorites of all time. I'm an untrained guitar player but loved following along with your points and having those aha moments
@@devilsoffspring5519 damn right. Punk musicians get written off quick. Sadly. But there are some notable people who have some talent that deserve recognition.
@@FullMoonBeaver In all fairness, what we generally think of as Punk has been around almost half a century now, so there are more and more "normal" people that appreciate it, like tax lawyers and soccer moms and all that shit. So, it's becoming accepted now as a legitimate form of expressive art, and that opens it up to more and more "real" musicians who genuinely care about being good at it, instead of only young testosterone-fueled brats that just want to make a hell of lot of noise. If punk rock had started in the 1990s (as so many people seem to think it did!) then maybe guys like Matt Freeman or Scott Shiflett would have wound up being somebody's accountant or middle-school principal or some shit :)
I laughed when showed the pick Matt uses because those are exact plectrums I use when I use a pick on bass. I try to use finger style more but there are lot of songs that tone just doesn't work for. Good vid.
It depends, Descendents is both bass and guitar heavy, Face To Face is bass heavy with mainly rhythm guitars, Rancid Matt sticks out, Old Green Day Mike Dirt was the lead while Billy Joe played rhythm.
@@twillymantheoneandonly5587 Cliff was a complete freak he got better every year . He totally peaked on Master of Puppets . We can only imagine what he'd be doing today if he wasn't tragically taken from us . You just pointed something out inadvertently . Being Thrash Metal has a lot of Punk Rock in it .
Matt Freeman was influenced by John Entwistle with Live at Leeds (when Entwistle was using a pick a lot of the time) and the bass is isolated in one channel. Geddy Lee is my favorite but he was also influenced by Entwistle. Freeman has good taste. I had a short stint in a punk band in high school and Rancid changed my view about the bass dramatically. He needs more credit.
Oh his early stuff had some cool bass lines and his back, up vocals 👌. I'm 46 and i used to listen to a lot of early REM in early high school before I started listening to pop and skate punk around 93'
Bit of a cliche is that a punk band has - an average guitarist - an above-average bassist - the best drummer ever - and some gobby idiot they just happened to hand the Mike too 😂
Also another factoid bout his style since he has taken a lot from entwistle, he plays pick for more of his faster stuff/hardcore punk and finger style on more ska and laid back tunes (like time bomb and evil's my friend again, where he's actually played down stroke flamenco style like Les) and I've seen them live as well as the session vid I had seen of theirs, and now seeing that he switches picking positions has inspired me now haha
MIght as well just do Tony Lombardo from The Descendents, thats who Mark tried to emulate. Then for variety include Karl Alvarez who now plays for The Descendents but plays without a pick.

One of the people that made me pick up a bass
Same here, amazing 👏🙌
Losing my religion,is a perfect example,of a great song with a great bassline.
Same
39 Colombian amateur and he's still my inspiration for playing the bass.
And also give it up.
I absolutely love the bassline in Journey To The End... And Out Come The Wolves is actually my favorite punk album ever released!
I love Matt Freeman's playing! He was one of the ones who made me really listen to bass. When I was just starting to get decent at bass, I learned his bass lines along with my practice routine.
If John Entwistle played punk rock with elements from ska and reggae, we have Matt Freeman
thats cause he was Matts influence lol

This is true
Second this!
Big fan of Rancid and Operation Ivy. Matt Freeman is a massive inspiration to me.
Matt Freeman has a great deal in turning my attention to punk and ska music. Mad respect to him for his tasty style!
Freeman was my first bass hero and inspiration.

Matt Freeman simply the best. Check out some of his Op Ivy stuff. He uses Ampeg or used to. I also like Roger Lima from Less Than Jake.

Matt is a outstanding bass player! Maybe you could do Scott Reader from Kyuss (amongst others) later on?
Best punk rock bassist ever
Great analysis! Thanks!
i've always felt like bass was the most prominent instrument in punk.
I love how all the power chords frees up the bass to be as melodic as it wants and define the tonality.
It is even if you go back to The Sex Pistols . The melody was always carried by the bass .
It depends, Descendents is both bass and guitar heavy, Face To Face is bass heavy with mainly rhythm guitars, Rancid Matt sticks out, Old Green Day Mike Dirt was the lead while Billy Joe played rhythm.

On some songs Im pretty sure he uses a hint of the bridge pick up. Olympia WA for example you can tell that is not the split P pick up on its own.
Yeaahhh love Rancid 🥰🥰 greets from Holland 🇳🇱👊
without a doubt, matt freeman is the best bassist in the genre of punk 🤘🏻

- an average guitarist
- an above-average bassist
- the best drummer ever
- and some gobby idiot they just happened to hand the Mike too 😂
