Bob Mould Will Teach You Guitar

[@mikevanderheiden]

that guitar tone is so sublime

[@resurectiondelpantion9268]

sublime Is so Bob Mould

[@cftvdata]

It sounded even better onstage... he'd rig up his two amps to be ever so slightly out of sync with each other, creating a natural chorus effect. Brilliant

[@Labyrinthman]

He always had that pearly sound of guitar, so melodic yet very punk-rock.

[@christophercasey6775]

The greatest guitar lesson ever. Thanks Bob.

[@lawrencea.canning409]

love you bob. one hell of a career. so underrated its preposterous

[@tictocbang7443]

45-second lesson from Bob and my band Husker Deux got signed!

[@bradleyheck7204]

Husker De-ux-ux-ux...

[@el0blaino]

Wow, Bob, hearing you put it that way, it all makes sense!

[@nathansmith5282]

holy shit a residents joke on a major channel

[@nathansmith5282]

+Robert Ziegler Bob is thinner and lankier

[@ElSantoLuchador]

Bob played with the Residents, Banksy is the founding member of Gorillaz, and Thomas Pynchon is my next door neighbor.

[@NotSoMelancholy]

Instructions unclear became the drummer for metallica

[@grungegazer]

best comment.

[@WillLeslie]

Who are the jerks who disliked this? Must be all 28 members of Nickleback.

[@neu-ter]

😂

[@jasonsnyder7857]

They really wanted to learn how to play guitar.

[@kingdavid7516]

He's either talking about the I IV V chord progression, or selling your soul to Satan so your body can be used as an illuminati puppet. Keep in mind my music theory knowledge is very limited.

[@katraylor]

Both are said to be helpful.

[@bradleyheck7204]

"BUY A LOT OF RAMONES RECORDS WHILE LISTENING TO THE WHO ALSO!"

[@todd1469]

This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Good to see Bob getting the respect he deserves, not that it matters. Critically acclaimed; publicly defamed.

[@bradleyheck7204]

Monkeys made of brass, may fly out of your ass.

[@bold810]

Not on my West Coast he wasn't if I heard about it 🤬💪☺️🕯️

[@dorian4404]

Nice to see that the "cant hear the super important thing over the noise" gag can still find work out there, in this economy.

[@mikemitchell5710]

I used Bob Mould's advice and I am now a rock star!

[@ElSantoLuchador]

Yup. Three chords. What else do you need?

[@dreat5665]

Dont wanna know if you are trolling ...

[@ElSantoLuchador]

Don't wanna know, don't wanna know ...

[@sanitytheorist8221]

Now I want to see Mark Mothersbaugh on the show, for synthesizer lessons haha

[@neu-ter]

thank you

[@AbnormalWrench]

This video was so powerful, I was a talented guitar player after only watching the first 10 seconds.

[@jaredgaston3305]

I wish he wouldve told us how to properly put on the shoulder strap... 8/10

[@Devillionaire]

Bob Mould is the fuckin man.

[@BadLuckLuke]

... that was so punk rock Bob, thanks!!!

[@BreakMyBenjamin7]

He's probably saying just play G, cadd9 and D

[@noelcorrea3891]

Spot on Cole Award! :)

[@YarrBr0]

I hope you had the time of your life

[@ElSantoLuchador]

Exactly. Three chords. WTF else do you need?

[@nvjohansson9741]

Thank God l can read lips. Thank you Bob for this game changing, life-altering advice.

[@Polygonal_Sprite]

Noel Gallagher wrote some of rocks most famous songs doing what he's doing there (look up the I IV V progressions). Notice he keeps the bottom two string (of the third fret) fretted, which not all guitarists do.

[@thereagauze]

he's played that C9 for a long long time with and without the top G. With the wall of noise distortion + chorus it makes a glorious racket.

[@stevenhaas9622]

The Gallagher twats wish they were half as talented as Bob

[@jackfolan9903]

does anyone know how to lip read? Does anyone have a deaf friend here?

[@sophiaz6833]

I'm deaf after listening to that.

[@johnmg88]

Most people who have braved a Bob Mould show without hearing protection are at least part way to being deaf by now :)

[@an3ony]

Dude's a hero

[@maureenmclean5203]

YEA!

[@collinmanderson]

listening, it sounds something like: we've evolved the carpet to sample the main engines if only it was the salad dressing that makes wealthy so much convinced that he was eating the salad you could try this, i guess. of course do you ever need necessant folks easier than them? it's the drums

[@niels5259]

+Collin Anderson probably just radom android keyboard wordsuggestions xD

[@Ballonpoire39]

Wow it’s pretty accurate

[@markusantonio4866]

Similar to How to Skin a Cat

[@skacoreification]

what was the third band he said? the residents? the residence? I can't find anything about them. always been a huge fan of husker du though

[@wigs2u]

+BTMI mexiclamationpoint The Residents

[@ElSantoLuchador]

Pretty much that's it. You can use those same three chords to play just about anything you want -- G, C*, and D. (* Bob is playing a Cadd9, but any C chord will do)

[@peterora3190]

It all makes sense now.

[@leftybass5860]

It’s all clear to me now !

[@The55nomad]

Bob, I was playing drums the whole time and couldn't hear a thing you said. Did hear some nice jingly guitar from you, tho. Thanks for everything.

[@jamiej.tilleyphotographyar5177]

My top two influences as a guitarist are Randy Rhoads and Bob Mould. Now if only I was half as good as either one of them...

[@davidjameschamberlain]

How important to you is the MXR Distortion+? I've been really thinking of getting one in place of my TS9 on my board

[@rumginray]

We all wear a touch of Candy Apple Grey...

[@desertstormchefnice9446]

Sounds like "Flip Your Wig"

[@talpajam]

at first i thought it was makes no sense at all

[@jenton70]

@@talpajam I thought it was I Apologize. A theme is emerging.

[@fpicc8807]

Bob, you are amazing...How do you not tear your fingernails up when you do that?

[@dixinears8004]

Makes total sense.

[@Andrew-or9ju]

Wow this really help thanks so much!

[@MaxPower-js1sk]

Bob from Hüsker Dü! I like his style, not to mention his low-slung Strat.

[@pete5534]

Easy. Thanks Bob!

[@jagaire]

love it!

[@indiglo1971]

Expedition to the Barrier Peaks is the favorite Dungeons and Dragons module of Stephen Colbert.

[@bradleyheck7204]

It's pretty much Flip Your Wig, which is hilarious!

[@jimschlottman5861]

Beat lesson ever.

[@DSilvergun]

+Jim Schlottman No beat - just guitar.

[@PaulNaser]

that cable is huge!

[@MrJommins]

Thanks a lot Bob! Tone was killer though.

[@ddostesting]

r e s i d e n t s !!!

[@joels6874]

omg. learn how he used this one simple trick and instantly became a pro!

[@gmsdrmr]

The Residents... nice. Randy, BOB and Chuck.... It ALL makes sense now. Hahahahahaha.

[@nocluernhaha]

Anyone know what colour his guitar is?

[@3rdmm]

Candy Apple Grey.

[@talpajam]

think its fender color 043 - pewter. he has several now of different colors

[@Steve27775]

That's some good advice.

Bob Mould: The Chord Master

[@Smudgie]

It's all right there, if you know what to look for.

[@tritonneptune3834]

tabs please

[@TheOrangization]

+Black Marvel G chord, Cadd9 chord, D chord :) Oh, and it looks like the first string while playing the D chord is muted

[@robertjenkins5999]

and hang on to that second string d. it's what got him here.

[@DeafJeff]

Does anyone know which residents' albums he's appeared on?

[@1p6t1gms]

Bob, does this technique really work with all guitars?

[@bradleyheck7204]

Only Fender Stratocasters and Gibson Flying Vs, strangely enough.

[@stvnk1m]

Rockstar dad!

[@DirkDwipple]

Could you repeat that please?

[@doubleplusalright]

everything I know about guitar I learned from this lesson

[@LVRROCK]

Bob is so good looking, I miss seeing him playing with a flying v

[@ericwbecker]

This is the guy who wrote the daily show theme

[@Seth-hc2bj]

Eric Becker forgot about that!!!!

[@3rdmm]

Yep, and he titled it "Dog On Fire".

[@conor3000]

yup I can play the solo from tilted now

[@alvaroramos9069]

I approve of this message.

[@evansimmons4773]

Precisely

[@Andtherewasguitar]

The trick is to turn up the amp and play it loud, if it wasn't obvious.

[@TheZanarath]

I got something about chords

[@mayo.r.857]

ok

[@JeffreyPappas786]

RESIDENTS!!!!!!! Third reich n roll.... Thomas pynchon led me here, how do i get out?!?!?

[@guitarwithdansmith]

Can't help but wonder if I had some influence over the title of this video🤔

[@daninusa5297]

sounds like private plane, and all other husker songs

[@DSG-br5lk]

Experts hate him for it!

[@dfjelddalen]

That's what I thought!

[@eugene6472]

yup the d c g trick. First thing you learn

[@remiregret3824]

Hey Bob- any chance of a HUSKER DU reunion? I have been a fan since the mid 1990s . You guys are definately one of my favorites. also, I had no clue about you in the band The RESIDENTS. I am just a guy from the midwest... I just veiwed "Hold On" the music video. Really cool. Thanks again.

[@jimbo-fk4dq]

I feel like a Hüsker Dü reunion would never happen. That said, if it ever does, I buying tickets for it.

[@bradcole5844]

I haven't had internet access for a few weeks but damn. I assume you guys know?

[@talpajam]

most important musician along w/ Shields since the Velvets..keyword: important.

[@christopherwelch7042]

You are greatness Bob. I was completely unimpressed with Nirvana when they were discovered because they sounded like they ripped off Husker Du.

[@bradleyheck7204]

Nirvana ripped off Husker Du in a GREAT WAY and I was very pleased, alternatively.

[@bradleyheck7204]

You need to give the Husker Du song Target a listen. "You've seen it all before. You think it's passe. You listen to the same fucking records every single day. You don't like the people who caught on late. They're having FUN."

[@bradleyheck7204]

Don't Participate! Be Lethargic! You're a Hypocrite! You're the Target!
