[@Zerobloodify]

Mark got me to pick up the bass and I have absolutely no shame in admitting it.

[@evanage]

me too, and i got my first bass the same way mark did, by painting houses :)

[@Bob_Psycho100]

Same here

[@tylerj7365]

Me too, I pretty much knew how to play most of these because of him

[@mattandersonmusic]

Same. Peggy Sue bass solo on tom mark and travis show was so cool at the time!

[@EasyCure0]

No shame man, no shame. Mark and Tom got me to pick up both bass and guitar. Travis made me never want to embarrass myself behind a kit though 🤣

[@narrowurethra182]

Carousel is how I check to see if my bass is in tune, so that just tells you how much of a banger it is.

[@daciaduster2013]

Literally just did this🤣

[@nazinloayza13]

Finally someone who plays the right way man overboard

[@fintendonerd8457]

Why does it matter if it's the "right" way?

[@Desekration_Band]

Thank you!

[@kphoenix137]

I can't play it the right way because it's too fast for me. Cant figure out how to alternate stokes on the right way and becomes all down strokes until the muscles in my hand just lock up

[@elftower907]

Ironic comment

[@gabriellevesque-lessard5052]

The right way is in down picking

[@vooduh]

Knew Carousel was going to be #1. I don't really play bass but every time I pick one up it's the first thing I play.

[@ZlordHUN]

Story of a Lonely Guy is just on a whole other level. Easily their best song IMO.

[@Michal71175]

true, extremely underrated song

[@newmystery7753]

Hoppus is an incredibly underrated bassist. In fact his bass playing is an overlooked part of blink 182. Most people point out Travis’ drumming or toms over dramatic singing

[@zachl9260]

Mutt has the best bass ever

[@lordsp]

This is a man of good taste

[@bombastrophee8433]

Simple but amazing bass

[@rusnyg]

Totally agree!

[@climbuptothestars]

this channel is the best cover channel, especially when the songs are from Blink-182 Mark has always been a reference for bassist for me, great job you doing on this channel.💥🤘🤘🤘

[@commander8642]

Littleredguitars2 is the best cover channel

[@Cuzjudd]

Turn the bass up dammit

[@weinerschnitzelsrule]

I was waiting and waiting for mutt! I'm so glad it's in the top 3, it's so good!

[@heyuhmark2025]

Hey man! Awesome video! I remember watching some of your covers when i first got into blink about 3 years ago. Glad to see you are still doing it! Keep up the good job man!

[@fcbma2895]

love these bass lines great video!

[@tylerleerhuber1755]

Amazing playing as always!

[@Uniqueil]

Amazing as always!

[@sloppy_hand]

seems like he used to play more chordal stuff back in the day... must be one of the reasons I like the early Blink more

[@justinTime077]

Chordal? I just learned a new word. Hard to believe I took guitar lessons for 3 years

[@sloppy_hand]

@@justinTime077 I don't know if you are being ironic or not.. I also don't know if there is such a word in english (my main language is portuguese), but I use it to mean something chord-oriented (against single note playing)

[@justinTime077]

@@sloppy_hand I think arpeggios? That’s something they are known for

[@sloppy_hand]

@@justinTime077 no. Arpeggios are when the chord notes are played one by one (in a pattern)... a chordal playing for me is when all notes of the chord are played together (like a strummed guitar). Think Lemmy or sometimes Lou Barlow.

[@sloppy_hand]

@@justinTime077 an arpeggio, as I understand, is a way of playing a chord. Usually, bass players are more scale oriented (there is a relationship between chords and scales but bass players usually wont play a chord note by note, but some importantant voicings for a given progression/ harmonic content) and will play single notes. Mark used to play much like a guitar player would, specially when you think his greatest influence is Robert Smith (and also I believe the aforementioned Lou Barlow with Dinosaur Jr)... Again, I don't know if you're being highly ironic, if you're trying to test me or else... I'm selftaught, and I speak mainly portuguese, if the word "chordal" is non existant from a college musician point of view, doesnt make difference (unless you are a snob), as long as you get the point

[@osomontaudon7230]

Such a great playing bro!

[@reese_zero3437]

I’ve really missed that Steamed Hams shirt

[@andrewpappas9311]

Marlboro Man has to be one of the funkiest bass lines Mark has ever played, it's so damn good

[@joshibrahim1537]

Your videos are so good

[@himynamelscolin]

They really just have the most unique sound ❤

[@noizyjohn8982]

Mark is one of my favourite bassist

[@toastandbananas7]

Good on you having Marlboro man on here! A true Blink fan

[@soyandresortega]

good job 🤘

[@Severetheband]

Love the shirt! “So you call them steamed hams even though they’re obviously grilled?”

[@sardinecakes8977]

Mark Hoppus for the win

[@dariapetuhova7433]

Their riffs are as much exciting that I'm really carrying away!

[@g3tsiak547]

Love it. Awesome plus one ❤️😊😎😎

[@javinshafer8698]

Mark honestly helped with my playing by a shit ton I probably never would've used power chords on bass if it wasn't for him

[@MrVisde]

Mark and Tom both have a knack for creating catchy riffs. I think it gets lost in all the slick production and potty humor that they’ve always been serious songwriters.

[@ferrymanggala6285]

Mark Hoppus is a GENIUS

[@ewitsroach]

Dude your timing and technique is so good. I've been playing guitar for a few months and im kinda doing decent, but i think my brain is wired for bass, I think I'd do so much better as a bassist. My ears always pick up bass and rhythm first

[@AJANDY88]

What is that instrumental track in the intro? Great video, Mark Hoppus is HELLA under rated.

[@ndtschau]

One of my fav bassplayer ever! 👍🏻🎵🎸🤘🏻

[@kristoffliftoff9316]

that tone at 8:30 is delicious. What effect are you using ??

[@Fatvrkid]

😂😂😂😂

[@peik5569]

it's the boss tu-3!! it is such a great pedal for that sound :Ddd

[@kevinnoboa9908]

@@peik5569 LMFAO

[@kevinnoboa9908]

😂😂🤣🤣

[@Blinkfan90]

Mark’s a legend

[@kaidenrorrer4750]

wow even added some +44.... good man

[@kadenzook3826]

What type of pick do you use??? I dig the sound that it makes and it looks like it strums well!

[@prisonmike4971]

Fentoozler is so rad..and Mutt is just gold

[@eruukira]

Ben Wah Balls is just perfect

[@gamecubeslayer]

Wow! You steam a good ham man

[@felipevargas7315]

Thanks for the blink 182 playlist I was missing also the good bass cover ❤

[@michaelcarter6048]

We need a sugarpill + Alex Melton colab!

[@jhoumorelatto3931]

Queria ser seu amigo e ficar o dia todo ouvindo esses riffs

[@alfiesbasscovers1387]

Great tone been trying to get it myself but my p bass has a maple fret board so harder to get right any tips on how to get like the toypaj/self titled tone ?

[@victorsheldoonsampaiocoelh8903]

Do you use any effect in here's your letters? Or is that just the precision bass pure sound using a pick? It sounds amazing!

[@kristoffliftoff9316]

My favorites are The Anthem, Man Overboard, and Mutt- all written for Enema of the State

[@javinshafer8698]

Man over board was written for The Mark, Tom, and Travis show (The enema strikes back)

[@NaaimSiddiqi]

Tfw I was waiting for Carousel and the best part was blocked.

[@blueskiesonmars17]

Wow carousel was blocked

[@ryanmckenna7897]

He was in the greatest 3 man band of all time

[@PackRunner3]

Any chance you'll do a Roger Lima 20 greatest basslines?

[@MarkAltosaar]

Carousel was where I heard the huge Ned's Atomic Dustbin influence.

[@hfn71]

i did see that coming, although I was a bit worried, where was it, while progressing through the list... ;)

[@mike_tkgchs]

that fuckin here's your letter line... i mean, it's simple, but the way he wrote it by intentionally not playing some of the notes was absoiutely magnificient

[@duarte0257]

Mark Hoppus 🖤

[@DraftZJ]

what program do you use for drums?

[@pfabbri5908]

Mark is a very limited bass player that works perfectly for Blink. And I love the guy

[@mattheoatienza6027]

I love this video. But it would've been great if it was bass boosted

[@Androxbl4]

That's why I'm going to buy bass

[@DrewGallagherMusic]

Hey do you collaborations? You are AWESOME

[@yiwoyst3p]

ik this is late but you should do a video on jaime preciados best bass line

[@bgl1335]

can i have a list of songs with time stamps ??

[@gabrielm3668]

Marlboro man ❤️😶😯

[@tonyzee7162]

There's a few songs I play differently. And I'm not sure if mine are correct or if these are correct. lol

[@G_G_King]

Mark's basses look like short scale on stage. Do you know anything about it?

[@Bvcbass]

Dude do you record your own drums???

[@gcb22]

What about Wishing Well!?

[@bjornandersson3698]

He is a lot better bassplayer than what most people think, not the best in the business but clearly underrated. Barker is probably considered the best musician in Blink by most , and rightfully so. But just listen to Blink's songs with bass only and you realise how good he really is , and then add travis drums and you will realise how well connected these 2 musicians are

[@gabrielfacholabasscovers843]

Mark Hoppus is Fucking Good

[@diablodavila]

Mr Skinner rules!

[@manuele.itriagom.728]

Knowing carousel was number one and building up to it just to be met by silence because of copyright really pissed me off. KZbin being KZbin I guess

[@jarredbaca8112]

My guy, what are you using for this bass sound?

[@SugarpillProd]

I use an Axe FX II for my bass tone.

[@krzysztofchmara794]

Now do one with Cone McCaslin

[@rinomahmoed9201]

Cacophony must in this

[@neeko.b]

Rino Mahmoed Agreed. Cacophony is a glaring omission.

[@SocietyKongMedia]

Why is mark pointing at the ava logo

[@blakekendrick2964]

Let's start a band

[@headcheesee]

god the only thing i didnt like was the heres your letter guitar palm mute it was off. love you

[@michaelguarino7834]

Hell yes! Or Dan from Alkaline Trio! He writes Some tasty baselines!!

[@benfrank8649]

Agreed on both! Dan and Roger are two of my all time favorites. Favorite song writers too.

[@DaveRichardsonFitness]

Why is there an AVA logo in the thumbnail? 😆

[@letsroamaround2189]
