I love LOVE this channel. Wish I had your playing skills, your ear, your mixing talent. This channel has taught me so much about the way my favorite artists play bass and guitar.
The way you played it is how I figured it out by ear when the teasers were out, but the way Tom is playing it in the video although it confused me at first kind of makes sense some how, the tonal note stays in ¾ of the chords and if you sing it along sounds a bit more like it, my guess is that what Tom does in the video it's somehow mixed in the choruses and it's probably the way he will play those choruses alive...the intro with the signature "riff" and chorus with the chords of the video. Does it make any sense to you?
There's definitely either some additional acoustic guitars added in during the chorus sections - either that or they're just filtering the high end out of the verse guitars, and then opening this back up for the chorus. But I don't hear the actual notes of the progression change, just the timbre of the acoustic themselves.
its insane to me that people try to figure out songs by looking at a videoclip rather than just using their ears or theory or something actually realiable hahahah nice vid
Haha I know right? Like I get watching a live performance if the original mix is really bad and it's hard to make things out, but otherwise I don't get it. Like a D and a D5 sound pretty different, or the Db compared to a A/C# especially. The song even opens with just the double tracked acoustics, so it's not even hiding in the mix.
They probably have already come up with a different arrangement for live performances and are rehearsing that one intensively (just speculation). It would still be a huge brain fart on his part to not remember the original key and the original voicings, especially since the song was most likely playing in the background while they shot the video.
@@SugarpillProd So what if, the acoustic part will be the playback audio during live and Tom will play the chords like in the MV with electric guitar. I feel like both will complement each other
Glad you ended up doing this explanation video like we talked about in the comments of your cover video! Haha Want to know my personal theory? Completely guessing here, but maybe Mark wrote/recorded the acoustic guitar for this song. So Tom hasn’t really rehearsed or practiced this song yet and is just “playing” an alternate/freestyle version in the video. Haha.
@@SugarpillProd Hah, yeah, and it's pretty obvious he's not playing this on that specific electric guitar as well. :-) I was really confused when I saw this fingering in the video as it didn't make any sense. After many years of playing I still have a heck of a time not having other strings ring out, or still sound awful with some strange harmonics no matter how I mute them when strumming chords like this. Advice?
@@briggsmiller7095 I usually mute every string I'm not playing with my first finger. So say if I'm playing a D5 starting on x577xx - I'll mute the low E with the tip of my first finger, and then B and high E with bottom part of my first finger. Sometimes I may use my thumb or middle finger to mute out strings too, depending on the chord shape. Using something like a fret wrap can also help remove so unwanted ringing when you're playing, or if you really struggle and you're just trying to get a clean take, you can always remove the strings that aren't needed. Hope that helps!
Yeah I'd assume he's probably not gonna bust out the acoustic, and stick with the electric like they do for "I Miss You". Hopefully he doesn't end on an A at the very least though 😂
I actually got this right normally it takes me much longer to learn songs by ear but I almost instantly got this. Probably because I know far too many songs written by Tom so I always know what’s he’s going to do 😂
Im so glad i can always count on you to actually play a song correctly. Most people seem satisfied with "close enough" but im not one of those people. My ear isnt trained enough to be able do it on my own so thank you for doing this
caught the video in the first 24 hrs of upload and that's the main thing that stuck out to me lol I don't play guitar often, but I know a little. Thanks for the mystery explanation!
I keep seeing people say about drop D, but I really don't get why. There's no low D note in the entire song, so there would be no point of dropping the low E string down for this song.
I love how the new live version in Bologna totally shits all over your video and how there’s more than one way to play it and how he was “miming it” was actually how he plays it live. Lmfao.
@@SugarpillProd so what? his chords live still work… you just tried to make a scene over nothing over 2 note chords on an album but keep it up buddy, your ear sure deserves it. You basically discouraged a whole generation of guitar players cuz heaven forbid they use a video and their own ear to decipher a song
@@SugarpillProdyou discouraged ppl by trying to tell them they are wrong by watching a video and figuring it out… when on the Bologna video you can straight up see he is extending a 3 to 7 power chord, meanwhile your all stuck off on a drop d which would work in a different way. You were literally all ducking stuck off on how he moves to a G sometimes and shit guess what he does a proper G sometimes and when he isn’t he’s doing the extension. Or a guy could figure it out on drop D… he isn’t wrong…. You blasted off how you didn’t hear a g note yet at times I probably heard one and in Bologna you definitely can… But ya you have it figured out and is the be all end all and you def have the following to prove it I guess… 😂. I just hope ppl start to ignore you and figure it out on their own. That in itself is punk… you… some guy on RUclips trying to earn revenue telling ppl shit is wrong and you’re so awesome for it not being wrong is a a service to ppl? K… no thanks
@@ChuckJon2050 Take a breath dude 🤣 Literally the only people who are salty about it are the ones who based the chords entirely off what Tom plays in the video - which I'm gonna take a wild guess here and assume that would include you? If anything, it's more discouraging to try to play something exactly like it looks on video, and still have it come out sounding wrong. Also stop liking your own comments you child 🤣
I spotted this in the video and what I think he’s playing in the video is the chorus of Not Now - throwing it out there but if you look at the old studio recording of them recording not now it’s that. I can’t do it by ear my skill levels are low in that area!
Thanks for this! I have only been playing for a year and a half and the other tutorials didn’t sound exactly like the song to me, but I obviously don’t trust my limited knowledge or experience. So I am glad I found this one video, and it sounds perfect to me! I also find this version is easier for me to play 🙂
Wow I really appreciate all of your videos! The way he plays it in the music video, really reminds me of the chord progression in Not Now. I wonder why??
Next thing people are gonna be shocked at is that it's not even Tom's guitar playing in the recording lol. Acoustic on record and electric on screen, Nickelback did this recently on "Those Days" and its just the funniest thing ever to me.
I think he's gonna play it like how he's playing in the music video when they play it live too. But ya I think in recording its exactly like how you played it .
I made a video on how to play this pretty close to after the song dropped and I have the same chords as you except the second chord I called a D/C# not a Db. There is no F# note in a Db chord.
Excellent video as usual. As I previously mentioned in another video of you, to me is amazing the amount of knowledge, ear and creativity that you have. Been following you since 6/7 years… long journey and what a progress you have made. Sorry for any mistake while writing, as it’s not my first language. Respect. Regards from Uruguay!
You are completely right! If you look into the song authors, there are two co-producers: Andrew Goldstein and Gregory “Aldae” Hein. My theory is one of them recorded this guitar, and Tom just plays the voicings which are very familiar to him (Not Now, The War etc.). Or maybe Tom himself recorded that part, but simplifies/changes it for artistic expression, to not care that much about the guitar. Just not to think hard about the guitar and express himself more visually in the music video. Other examples where he changed or simplified guitar parts in live compared to studio are First Date (verse part with palm mute), and After Midnight (pre-chorus palm mute rhythm is simpler compared to the studio version).
Yeah I thought the same thing tbh. Possibly that he didn't come up with or record that section, and he just hasn't gotten round to re-learning it properly yet.
I mean a lot of their older songs were recorded that way too. Just because he's the main guitarist in the band, doesn't mean he's the only one who's going to be laying down every single track. No doubt Travis, Mark and some of the other co-writers recorded and wrote additional parts for each song they worked on.
I dunno man, I’m sure I can hear the D off the 3rd string 7th threat ring throughout the first three bars, it kind of disappears and comes back in the 4th??
Hi awesome video thank you. I'm not great at guitar and I struggle with tempo and rhythm. Do you have an estimated bpm for the song? I found online 115 bpm but to me it feels closer to 150 bpm but when I play at that speed, its too fast?
It should be 86 bpm exactly (or 172 bpm if you prefer to count it that way). I had it lined up with a click, so I'm fairly certain that should be the correct tempo they were using. Hope that helps!
Tom has several songs that he uses that hand pattern in the video. It could be they cut the wrong video in. Would not surprise me in the least since this is something they are known to do.
I dont know if you would still know but if you could tell me the tempo and time signature to this song? im trying to cover it and i just cant seem to get it right.
Usually I just mute everything I'm not playing with my first finger. Or you can just strum a bit more conservatively, and try to not hit the higher strings. It's not really a song where you need any wild wrist movements in the strumming department anyway, haha!
Yep. I played it like the video and it sound different. Same root notes on the chords but the recorded versions sounds sadder due to different other notes being different.
It's the same except for the end. Parts of the video Tom looks like he ends on an A, and then others on a G. Though Mark ends on a G throughout. So who knows what's going on there 🤣
@@SugarpillProd yeah. I think he was just being lazy so he didn't have to move his hand in the video....kept his pinky in the same place the whole time.
Multiple guitars in the recording and pedals . But Tom does play it how he does in the video. Watch any box car racer song he plays the same melody. (I Feel So, There Is,)
Sounds like Mark wrote it, Tom just plays his version of it live. It matches the style that was around with and without Tom and also present on +44. Also producers will ask musicians to do little tweaks of how something is played in recordings. It wouldn’t be that strange if Mark wrote that part he also came up with the catchy guitar part of Dammit.
Yeah but if you listen to what he's actually playing it sounds nothing like what's on the record 🤣 It's basically the Feeling This bass line thing all over again lol.
Capo the third fret and tune your D string down to a B (when you play the 7th fret it is now the F#) and then you can just play it exactly like Tom does…
@@SugarpillProd probably not in the vid for aesthetic reasons, but if he played the chords like that when they recorded it he did (or it’s a second guitar to hit that F# with the last chord).
I was fiddling with it last night and I'm 99.99% sure that is correct also. At first I thought he was playing the high octave note of the power cord also, but it doesn't sound right.
Yeah I couldn't hear any high octaves either. It's usually quite noticeable on an acoustic guitar, certainly more than on an electric anyway. I think that's partly why the acoustic sounds quite dark and moody, is because there's only a few notes being played at once, so it's a lot smaller sounding than if they were fretting open chords or even 3-finger power chords.
Agreed. Taking it down to 2 strings very surprisingly changed the tone a lot. I also have very dead acoustic strings which contributes to the darkness and it kind of sounds like the stings could be old in the song recording too haha.
Yep, I'm thinking the same thing! It definitely has a more muffled quality to it. I know some people don't like changing strings on acoustics - I remember Zakk Cervini mentioning this about Feldmann, and I know Tony Sly said he intentionally didn't change his when recording "12 Song Program" so that it would sound more *vintage* . Maybe it's just a punk thing, haha.
I think it depends on what the artist is going for and the song itself. There are times I think dead strings sound great because of the muffled, dark tone it has, but conversely I absolutely love a set of fresh strings because they ring out so nicely when using bread and butter full acoustic chords (G, C, D etc). A side note, your videos are great, keep it up!
You can play it like Tom does in the video but just go to the G instead of the Am, these are all just different variations of the same chords except Tom is not playing the right chord in the video
Yep, they all do to some extent. Which is why I don't understand people basing the "correct" way to play it solely from the video. I mean Mark starts playing bass when there's no bass in the recording at that point, Tom is playing an electric... At least Travis had some brushes 😂
At first, THANKS for your work you do to give us the right tabs to learn playing the song right. BUT: Why does he play it in the video wrong? Or to say in another question; Why dont he plays the right notes?! AND: The whole song is played on a acoustic guitar! So why does he play on a electric guitar? Maybe somebody can give me the answers to it. By the way! Beautiful song! ❤
Could be, or even one of the co-writers / co-producers. Everyone tends to add a bit to songs when it's being recorded, not just the members of the band.
Yeah I just had a listen and it doesn't sound anything like the chords on the recorded version. Guess he did just decide to completely change them for the live version 🤣
So yes there’s a very good possibility that Tom is just miming wrong, but I think there could be two other possible answers. One, he’s playing some alternate tuning that allows him to play the chords he’s playing in the video or, more my belief, is that they knew they’d have to play it live, just like when they released I Miss You, and they “dumbed it down” to play it live and make it sound close enough but still fit into a live Blink show. Just my thoughts. Any or none of them could be true or not.
Dude... the issue isn't with the chord shapes/pattern (at least not in this vid). It's in the cadence of the strumming, which is DEFINITELY off in the video.
This sounds right, but also lots of players slightly simply things for on stage….you’re performing to the back of a crowd not sitting in a chair. Both are cool.😊
Anybody with some general music theory knowledge and at least one working ear on the side of their head would know you don’t go off visuals! You nailed it
You can Somtimes depends on the artist and what they are really doing in videos. Somtimes your ear needs help by listening and confirmation you heard it right. Live shows or videos help with confirmation unless in this case where he’s just faking it to focus more on his vocals. A lot of artist do that when they make a cleaner version of their song.
I meeean... it's just a music video. I don't think that's reflective of him as a performer / musician. It could even be that he wasn't the person who wrote and tracked the guitar in the recording, so maybe he hasn't actually gone back and learned the song properly yet. You've gotta assume they've probably forgotten most of their parts by now, considering the initial recording process was finished months ago.
@@SugarpillProd I think he tracked the guitar and wrote the thing the reason I say lazy is because of what I have seen on the recent live shows, take ghost on the danceflloor for example, he used to play the lead part in the verses, now he's just letting the chords ring a bit and on the bridges of songs like stay together, he's not doing the little melodies anymore, this reunion feels a lot more chill compared to the last one(and I mean that in a neutral way, they look like they are having blast)
I really wanted to see from you how the bass part is played in dysentery Gary. Especially the verses. There's some nonsense everywhere. But the bass is great there
To be fair tom does that chord progression with the descending root on a LOT of songs, and i think it might be something that ties this song together with the legacy of songs/backgrounds present in the video. Its just something he always played, maybe thats the point?! :D
It seems pretty obvious to me he's just miming in a way that allows him to use his more customary picking flourish. Nothing wrong with that, it doesn't have to be 100% accurate to the recording for the purposes of a music video.

When I first heard this song it reminded me of “there is” and “watch the world” and also “not now”
And…. 800 other blink songs with the same chords.
I love LOVE this channel. Wish I had your playing skills, your ear, your mixing talent. This channel has taught me so much about the way my favorite artists play bass and guitar.
Thanks so much! That's really nice to hear ✌️
I love the way that tom holds his guitar with the neck dropped so far it's almost pointing down, it's so funny to me
flexin his guitar skill, literally
i do that too its comfortable for me somehow
the way you play it sounds exactly right to me. It's a really beautiful song.
The way you played it is how I figured it out by ear when the teasers were out, but the way Tom is playing it in the video although it confused me at first kind of makes sense some how, the tonal note stays in ¾ of the chords and if you sing it along sounds a bit more like it, my guess is that what Tom does in the video it's somehow mixed in the choruses and it's probably the way he will play those choruses alive...the intro with the signature "riff" and chorus with the chords of the video. Does it make any sense to you?
I didn’t even think about that you’re probably right. Cause mark can take care of the root notes
There's definitely either some additional acoustic guitars added in during the chorus sections - either that or they're just filtering the high end out of the verse guitars, and then opening this back up for the chorus. But I don't hear the actual notes of the progression change, just the timbre of the acoustic themselves.
If i had to take a wild guess, I assume this is how Tom will play it live
Since that’s the way it’s played, probably so 😂
I think that third chord is:
7
x
0
x
x

same notes as you play, but matches what he shows in the video.

been playing it non-stop on my little starter guitar and your chords are it!
Nice one. It's a fun little progression to play!
this is the best channel for blink182, AVA, BCR, everything tom mark travis!
Thanks man ✌
the music video chord shape is the exact same as the not now chorus. if you search for when tom played it on his acoustic in the studio

Wouldn't F#/C# make more sense, considering there's no D note in the second chord?
You could consider F#m/C#. I just hear it as a D chord walking down and as you showed the way Tom plays it in the video he does too.
In the live version, he is playing it the way he did in the music video
Can you please watch the live performance?
He does not play an usual B5 power chord.
I think he play 7th fret E and 7th fret D string.
Hey! I just released an update video regarding the live performance - ruclips.net/video/cMyh0mkfEEw/видео.html

Haha thanks so much, I'm honored you think so 🙏
Idk if i really want to play this with open chord or not
Try tuning the G string, half step down to an Fsharp. Its sound exactly the same.
There’s no different tuning. The recording is played in standard. The music video is just incorrect miming.
Thanks! Also whats up with the electric on the video lol
Or the part where Mark starts playing bass when only the piano comes in 🤣
This video is a miming mess...@@SugarpillProd
For sure. Reminds me of those "guitars are never animated correctly" videos 🤣
OMG this is first video with free tabs!
The first & last 🤣
@@SugarpillProd T_T
I dont know if you would still know but if you could tell me the tempo and time signature to this song? im trying to cover it and i just cant seem to get it right.
It should be 172bpm exactly 👍
How do you play it and silence out the high e and the lower strings haha ?
Usually I just mute everything I'm not playing with my first finger. Or you can just strum a bit more conservatively, and try to not hit the higher strings. It's not really a song where you need any wild wrist movements in the strumming department anyway, haha!
Yep. I played it like the video and it sound different. Same root notes on the chords but the recorded versions sounds sadder due to different other notes being different.
It's the same except for the end. Parts of the video Tom looks like he ends on an A, and then others on a G. Though Mark ends on a G throughout. So who knows what's going on there 🤣
@@SugarpillProd yeah. I think he was just being lazy so he didn't have to move his hand in the video....kept his pinky in the same place the whole time.
Could well be!
@@SugarpillProd be that the director didn't want him moving his hand to distract people from the angst on his face....
Any chance it’s a left/right track? I feel like there’s still a note missing, could be wrong though…
It's doubled throughout, but as far as I can tell, both the left and right guitars are playing the exact same thing.
Multiple guitars in the recording and pedals . But Tom does play it how he does in the video. Watch any box car racer song he plays the same melody. (I Feel So, There Is,)
He also hammers on the e note of the a string real quick before back to the 1 chord :)
What about the g string in the first two chords?
I don't personally hear any high octaves being played.
It’s also toms most used chord progression, at least it seems like it
Definitely one of his go-to's, haha.
I used to have that Macbeth shirt...wonder where it went...
Sounds like Mark wrote it, Tom just plays his version of it live. It matches the style that was around with and without Tom and also present on +44. Also producers will ask musicians to do little tweaks of how something is played in recordings. It wouldn’t be that strange if Mark wrote that part he also came up with the catchy guitar part of Dammit.
For sure! I was thinking something similar as well.
It's possible he played two parts together for the recording and he just played what he thought looked better for the video
It's definitely double tracked, but both tracks sound as though they're playing identical parts, at least to my ear.
@@SugarpillProd I think you are right. Maybe Tom was just playing it wrong in the video on purpose to throw us off lol
I just did an update video about the new live version, so TL;DR, yeah he was just playing different chords 🤣
There is now a live clip of Tom playing it like he does in the video😅
Yeah but if you listen to what he's actually playing it sounds nothing like what's on the record 🤣 It's basically the Feeling This bass line thing all over again lol.
Haha very true😂 Tom is a legend! Its his «trick». A powerchord with moving bassline
Haha for sure!
Capo the third fret and tune your D string down to a B (when you play the 7th fret it is now the F#) and then you can just play it exactly like Tom does…
He doesn't use a capo though?
@@SugarpillProd probably not in the vid for aesthetic reasons, but if he played the chords like that when they recorded it he did (or it’s a second guitar to hit that F# with the last chord).
I know it's wrong, but it looks cooler the way he mimes it (and probably plays it live)
True 🤣
this is probably how he wrote it and someone suggested an alternate voicing in the studio
I don't think it was someone's suggestion, he basically plays 90% of his parts like that lol. By just changing one note, it's kinda his style
I was fiddling with it last night and I'm 99.99% sure that is correct also. At first I thought he was playing the high octave note of the power cord also, but it doesn't sound right.
Yeah I couldn't hear any high octaves either. It's usually quite noticeable on an acoustic guitar, certainly more than on an electric anyway.
I think that's partly why the acoustic sounds quite dark and moody, is because there's only a few notes being played at once, so it's a lot smaller sounding than if they were fretting open chords or even 3-finger power chords.
Agreed. Taking it down to 2 strings very surprisingly changed the tone a lot.
I also have very dead acoustic strings which contributes to the darkness and it kind of sounds like the stings could be old in the song recording too haha.
Yep, I'm thinking the same thing! It definitely has a more muffled quality to it. I know some people don't like changing strings on acoustics - I remember Zakk Cervini mentioning this about Feldmann, and I know Tony Sly said he intentionally didn't change his when recording "12 Song Program" so that it would sound more *vintage* . Maybe it's just a punk thing, haha.
I think it depends on what the artist is going for and the song itself. There are times I think dead strings sound great because of the muffled, dark tone it has, but conversely I absolutely love a set of fresh strings because they ring out so nicely when using bread and butter full acoustic chords (G, C, D etc).
A side note, your videos are great, keep it up!
Thanks man, I really appreciate that ✌
Very good, his guitar could also be a whole step down and perhaps he uses it for other songs where the vocals are too higher to sing?
He'd be out of key though. Assuming you mean tune down, but still play the same frets as he does in the video?
Very good. But what is the strumming pattern?
D DU UD DU UD DU.
If you tune the D string down to B and play it like he does in the video you will be correct
You can play it like Tom does in the video but just go to the G instead of the Am, these are all just different variations of the same chords except Tom is not playing the right chord in the video
Tom used to peform live different from studios versions like we see in i miss you
Yep, they all do to some extent. Which is why I don't understand people basing the "correct" way to play it solely from the video. I mean Mark starts playing bass when there's no bass in the recording at that point, Tom is playing an electric... At least Travis had some brushes 😂
At first, THANKS for your work you do to give us the right tabs to learn playing the song right. BUT: Why does he play it in the video wrong? Or to say in another question; Why dont he plays the right notes?! AND: The whole song is played on a acoustic guitar! So why does he play on a electric guitar? Maybe somebody can give me the answers to it. By the way! Beautiful song! ❤
It’s probably double tracked with different variations. That’s what normal bands do.
It is double tracked, but both sides are playing the same thing.
Just drop your D string to E2 string ! I try and is exactly the same as tom play in the video
i wonder if Mark was the one who recorded it
Could be, or even one of the co-writers / co-producers. Everyone tends to add a bit to songs when it's being recorded, not just the members of the band.
what kind of guitar is that? sounds nice
It's a Taylor something... GS Mini I think?
He’s playing harmony?
Box Car Racer's There Is vibes
so Tom just screwing with us as usual
Pretty much 🤣
Update: Tom plays One More Time live like how he does in the video
Yeah I just had a listen and it doesn't sound anything like the chords on the recorded version. Guess he did just decide to completely change them for the live version 🤣
@@SugarpillProdOr Mark tracked it lol
Yep! Or any number of the additional writers could have too. Everyone tends to pitch in during the writing and recording process.
So yes there’s a very good possibility that Tom is just miming wrong, but I think there could be two other possible answers. One, he’s playing some alternate tuning that allows him to play the chords he’s playing in the video or, more my belief, is that they knew they’d have to play it live, just like when they released I Miss You, and they “dumbed it down” to play it live and make it sound close enough but still fit into a live Blink show. Just my thoughts. Any or none of them could be true or not.
Dude... the issue isn't with the chord shapes/pattern (at least not in this vid). It's in the cadence of the strumming, which is DEFINITELY off in the video.
Nope. Just miming wrong. That’s all.
Post production tricks vs miming in a video shoot. Who woulda thunk it!? 😅
Crazy stuff right? 🤣
the video is a videoclip I think nobody would try to play this song by looking he's play there ahah
This sounds right, but also lots of players slightly simply things for on stage….you’re performing to the back of a crowd not sitting in a chair. Both are cool.😊
I wonder if he's playing it drop tuned a full step in the recording. 🤔 Or he forgot how to play it. 😂
He's playing "not now"
Correct 🤣
His voice is getting better
auto tone is getting better
Anybody with some general music theory knowledge and at least one working ear on the side of their head would know you don’t go off visuals!
You nailed it
Haha thanks man ✌️
You can Somtimes depends on the artist and what they are really doing in videos. Somtimes your ear needs help by listening and confirmation you heard it right. Live shows or videos help with confirmation unless in this case where he’s just faking it to focus more on his vocals. A lot of artist do that when they make a cleaner version of their song.
There is chord
Probably focusing more on his modern era singing. Blink is back🤘
Tom's way is the easy way where it's just changing the root(putting aside the A he plays in parts of the video)
It's easier for sure, and it looks more like a typical Tom progression, but it doesn't sound anywhere near as good imo.
@@SugarpillProd seems to have become a bit lazy with his playing this time around
I meeean... it's just a music video. I don't think that's reflective of him as a performer / musician. It could even be that he wasn't the person who wrote and tracked the guitar in the recording, so maybe he hasn't actually gone back and learned the song properly yet.
You've gotta assume they've probably forgotten most of their parts by now, considering the initial recording process was finished months ago.
@@SugarpillProd I think he tracked the guitar and wrote the thing the reason I say lazy is because of what I have seen on the recent live shows, take ghost on the danceflloor for example, he used to play the lead part in the verses, now he's just letting the chords ring a bit and on the bridges of songs like stay together, he's not doing the little melodies anymore, this reunion feels a lot more chill compared to the last one(and I mean that in a neutral way, they look like they are having blast)
Thanks for this cover and the chords.
Sure thing ✌
He's using an electric guitar and not even playing the song right.
Not a single fuck was given that day
At least they tried hard with the green screen 😂
Lol, I gotta remember this
Could chalk it up to all the videos they’re going through so what he’s doing doesn’t have to be accurate to the song
I really wanted to see from you how the bass part is played in dysentery Gary. Especially the verses. There's some nonsense everywhere. But the bass is great there
Yeah that song has some great bass parts throughout. I might do a video on it in the future!
Enema is full of great bass lines :) Mark is really underrated imo
The riff sounds a lot like "there is"
Change D to B. Done
He also goes down to the G he Doesn’t end on A
If you watch him in the verses / first chorus, he keeps ending on an A.
Welp…you were right. He was just playing it wrong lol.
@@Bartbart1988 Yep 🤣
To be fair tom does that chord progression with the descending root on a LOT of songs, and i think it might be something that ties this song together with the legacy of songs/backgrounds present in the video. Its just something he always played, maybe thats the point?! :D
Just seems like an odd thing to do. He might as well be playing the Dammit riff over it, because *nostalgia* 🤣
It seems pretty obvious to me he's just miming in a way that allows him to use his more customary picking flourish. Nothing wrong with that, it doesn't have to be 100% accurate to the recording for the purposes of a music video.
The day the video came out it was the first thing I showed my gf lmao same examples!
1:25 mark can’t play his own song wrong
That doesn’t make sense
From what I can tell, he simplifies it when playing live.
Except he does 🤯
