    The perfect encapsulation of the whole Bass Bunker vibe is when Matt Freeman tells you that even he had a hard time learning Matt Freeman's bass line!

      Yeah.....now he understands how is like for the rest of us

    This is exactly what you should show. The parts of the song, some background on how the track for the record came together and then how it’s played. This is amazing.

    I hope people appreciate how special it is for Matt Freeman to be making this kind of content. How many legendary musicians are doing this kind of thing, much less with this kind of authenticity? Musicians and fans alike are going to benefit and enjoy these play along/breakdowns for years to come. Thanks Matt!

    As soon the song ended I automatically expected the intro to Life Won't Wait to play next. Damn that 1998 album hits hard.

    I mean, this melody is really very cool. It's so striding-running. A very good solution with notes like two through one.

    When the bass line's so sick you wanna give it healthcare.

  • @BrimstoneButcher
    @BrimstoneButcher 28 дней назад +1

    Black Lung brings out some memories bro. Myself & a good friend figured out that bassline on our guitars in 1998…. We didn’t own a bass so we made due. When we tried to play it on a friends bass later, we realized how crazy of a bass line it was because of how wide bass frets are 😂😂😂. Much love from SW Louisiana dude.

    I'm almost 40 and man, almost everyday I strugle to learn a little more on bass. I must admit that mr. Freeman is defenetly what motivated to start playin' again. Thanks sir! Btw, great teacher.

    @alexmarshallbdr7174 25 дней назад

    Hell yeah Matt!!!!I remember getting this cd right when it came out in San Luis and was jamming it up all the time.And always had to learn these great riffs to play.And like 25 or so years later,even with a brain injury now still jamming it all up.When that lonely whistle calls out your name 🎉🎼💀👌

    @Crushing511s 28 дней назад +1

    Huge fan of this song. Huge fan of the guy who wrote the bass lines. I also like the term hammer-on dead note to describe what you do mid chorus. I incorporate several of those into my own lines.

  • @Canalsergiotej
    @Canalsergiotej 27 дней назад +2

    Would never have guessed the hammer on on the dead note. It really makes a difference on the feel of the song. This is one of my favorite Rancid bass lines ever. You are the reason that I (try to) play bass Matt, thank you so much!

    @johnsenseiDOTcom 28 дней назад +1

    The explanation of the riff's composition in this video was really interesting. This channel has made me appreciate Rancid songs I haven't heard in a while and may have forgot. I think the Life Won't Wait album is Rancid's compositional and arrangement masterpiece. That's interesting to hear it was recorded so quickly.

  • @johnjohn518
    @johnjohn518 26 дней назад

    I love this, I naturally tend to try and emphasize the kick or vocal melody on the bass. Such a cool line. Of all the rancid songs this is the most like how I play with the movements. Appreciate the breakdown.

  • @jamiemcdonaldisjamie

  • @a_ionuin
    @a_ionuin 27 дней назад

    One of my favourites and I love seeing the jazz out again. Really liking the format of going through the lines before you play them - you have such a creative approach and its great to see it in slow motion.
    I'm going to have to revise how I play this song though! 😊

  • @Will-423
    @Will-423 28 дней назад +3

    This was the first Rancid album I bought. Love the album and the song. Your channel made me pick up my bass, get it setup, and start playing after a 12 year break. I’m forever grateful. Thank you so much. I’ve been practicing St. Mary as I I knock off the rust. I would love to see it on the channel.

    THIS!!! This is how you should do every video!!! Breakdown each bass part, tell us a little bit about each part and then do a play through.
    Seriously, this video taught me what I’ve been doing right and what I’ve been doing wrong when I play this song, so it was REALLY helpful.

  • @joekejoeke
    @joekejoeke 28 дней назад

    When I first listened to this song on my ipod shuffle (back in 2005 I guess), I loved it instantly. After a while (playing it over and over) I found out one of my earphones was lacking bass, it was broken. So I played the song on my CD player instead and was blown away by the bass addition ❤️ loved it even more since then and it's still one of my absolute favourite rancid songs. Have seen you guys play live twice now (in the Netherlands) and was hoping to hear Black Lung both times but I know it's not a mass favourite. But it's in my top 3 for sure! 💀 🖤

    Surprised to hear Life Won’t Wait was done quickly. It’s a long album with a lot of different sounds and many tracks sound very involved production wise (not a bad thing!).

  • @MathieuVallee
    @MathieuVallee 26 дней назад

    It‘s so cool to see you play those hard ass basslines! You have been an inspiration and Life Won‘t Wait is my favorite Rancid album. The bassline I‘m most curious about is sort of a deep cut but if you could do Cash, Culture and Violence that would make my day! It‘s hard to hear on the record exactly what you play and there are no decent tabs out there. Keep them riffs coming!!

I don't know if you can, but it would be cool to see the Rancid version of Stuckin in My Eye. I love how you tweaked the original bassline.
