Melvins Lesson: King Buzzo Shows How to Play "Hooch"

[@juliandale8006]

Buzz never knows "why." That's why the Melvins are so awesome

[@STORMseries]

lol

[@triggerdigga5682]

That's it.

[@will3890]

it's hard to remember individual songs when you release 80 albums

Tell that to Buckethead

By the time you finished typing that comment the number went to 82 :)

[@tonymaurice4157]

Nice riff

[@AznagPT]

His guitar tone is like an enraged wasp nest. Love it. Like a sandblaster in your face!

[@belleofkilronan8565]

"Hooch" is a definite favorite from the record for me.

[@kommissar.murphy]

In medieval times you would be burned at the stake for possessing such a guitar.

[@RuneFun12]

haha... fucking lovely comment

[@micklee5152]

More likely knighted

[@claytonorchard300]

Someone get buzzo to play the Witcher song on that guitar in a Witcher-esque outfit

[@zer0deaths862]

You'd get burned at the stake for pulling out an iPhone in 1999.

[@maikado9103]

In the background meanwhile listening to "at the stake" for sure.

[@eeyore133]

The Melvins has those "Doof Warrior from Mad Max" guitar riffs. It sounds like you're going into a battle almost.

[@codyhansonbass]

Only fitting that his guitar is CHROME

[@ELECTRICHEADROOM]

That guitar is unreal.

Literally

Hell yeah that's a pretty good line of lyrical genius

Waiting for Buzz to do a lesson on how to play *Spread Eagle Beagle.*

[@88_TROUBLE_88]

Pearl Bomb would be a fun one

[@antondillet466]

What a lovely guitar player! What a lovely guitar playing! What a lovely human being, Mr. Buzzo Osbornomous!

[@EFECINCOF5]

THIS IS AMAZING, thank you so much for this, Buzz is so straight forward and sincere, its amazing to hear him talk about his passions.. to me at least

[@loveandpeace9908]

Buzz is always in a place that makes him sweat. Turn up the AC for the guy, damn!

[@mrkrills8839]

I don’t know why but whenever I play an instrument I’ll sweat profusely could be just that. Not to mention he’s not in a very professional setting

[@RedMissou]

A genuine artist! I mean just wow, everything he says and plays is pure art

[@omargerardo5457]

So blessed I got to see them live the Melvin legenda

[@BRO77TX]

I believe the Melvins are the band that can help me restore and gain my confidence as a guitar player. Everybody that has quoted Buzz is right..,just write something that sounds good and cool and is simple to play. Nobody is Eddie Van Halen. And nobody ever will be. And that’s fine. And, I think that’s what has held me back from being good. That super expectation I’ve put on myself that I’ve got to be as flawless as Eddie. And it’s sabotaged my confidence. I’m hoping playing this and other Melvins songs and building from those can help me!!

[@musicman9901]

I think there are many ways of practicing guitar, people overthink and assume it means skill and technique. What about feeling the groove of the music, feeing different time signatures, practice the attitude you are going for in your music. I think I overthought guitar playing in the same way myself, now it’s a matter of stretching out in other ways. Good luck and keep jamming.

[@jonathanhogg5665]

It's about writing SONGS that are GOOD.

[@benjicanfield2820]

Melvins are so sick

[@peyganlafont]

Best live band I’ve ever seen. Fucking incredibly badass!

[@brokenseatbelt]

I could listen to Buzz talk all day.

[@Feledwards]

Legen-Dary! Buzzo has been playing dirty forever!

[@anothersettlementneedsyour9628]

That silver guitar looks so badass.

[@dontakemeseriously]

It's hard not to sing along when he's playing...

[@SRNF]

Damn that guitar fretboard looks amazing.

[@88_TROUBLE_88]

Bcuz it is

[@ReverendBenzo]

I like how he seems bored and informal into something that is iconic.

[@jacobbouser4190]

The aluminum neck of that guitar, and whatever the body is made of, produces that metallic tone that is one of a kind.

[@terrymoore711]

Damn I love that guitar

[@jamiecunningham1565]

That tone............!!!!!!!....... just growls🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@WESSERPARAQUAT]

great riff buzz , and you CAN sure play

[@brycedadevil2146]

Buzzo literally took the thoughts out of my head, I see on KZbin so many players who are GOOD but GOOD at playing other people’s songs...which is how I learned to play in the beginning but as I age I feel more that I should be writing my own shit to play as opposed to just learning other people’s songs...idk man!!!

[@stone9.098]

That's one badass lookin guitar!

[@lukecollins7929]

Buzz is so funny and shot out... 😜😆

[@88_TROUBLE_88]

This one, Joan of Arc, Goin Blind and Hag Me are the heaviest songs on the record that I recall. Got Houndini in the Colombia House or BMG club back in the early 90s and always loved those 4 tracks and Pearl Bomb to startle my brother awake on the weekend lol 😂

[@danielcarter3928]

that is such a good riff jesus. i wish i had the tabs that matched this because this is the way it is meant to be played!

[@ks5553]

Just tune the top string down to D and watch his left hand closely. You can get there without tabs my friend!!!

[@jasonmgavitt2357]

Y’all are gnarly musicians!i dig it a lot!

[@jimtucker7005]

Timeless Riff.....King Buzzo is....well, ...The King. :-)

Such a fascinating song! And it´s more than 20 (!!!) years old ... still so sweet to hear it!

You just get together and play. Jam, bounce riffs off each other, form a song. Enjoy doing it. Rock isn't a math equation.

[@88_TROUBLE_88]

Tell that to Rivers Cuomo

[@swarler]

god knows he needs to hear it

[@normellow]

Piece of the puzzle.

[@charlesquick9977]

One of his newer digs I think. I forget since I deleted my facebook profile, but it was either this or a clear guitar. My memory is fuzzy on the matter.

[@mattthedunce]

for so long i never played the part between the verse and the chorus wrong, just to realize it was so much easier

[@DGdaGawdTV]

Aye that’s the real buzz bruh

[@eddieangelmonroy]

King Daleo 💪

[@RedMissou]

Im not a guitarist, nor a drummer, in fact i cant play any instruments, dont even know what a drop D means, but im watching this video for like the 10th time or something, idk why, just like Buzz. I am but a music lover i guess

[@meatlejuice]

Really love Buzz's approach to less technical songwriting

[@OffhandDelivery]

i want guitar tabs for 'This machine kills artists', that's a great album!

[@gvngngr]

Oh, he can't remember where he got that Drop D tuning idea? Well, I do: Soundgarden.

[@gvngngr]

@Nicholas Debono Correct. Buzzo taught it to Kim and Soundgarden used it first in the song Nothing to Say if I'm not wrong. For one second I wrongly remembered it, as Kim taught Buzzo. And I think Buzzo heard it from Black Sabbath, as Kim said.

[@metalstorm0]

Hes so right about writing songs. People always say its so simple and easy to play. As long as its good who cares hooch is a great example of that. Im not to muxh of a fan of that prog and tech stuff cause it sounds so forced

[@joeyskattebo623]

All Hail King Buzzo!

This is Classic.

[@smallman9787]

Hooch was also my favorite

[@DaisyHead666]

Damn.. What kinda pedal is he using in this? That tone is super shrill but super fat at the same time, I love it.

[@rememberDay1]

buzz do some asmr when u retire o nvm i dont think ull ever retire \w/ either way love u

[@battlesickloner]

love that guitar. Thin neck. Electric Guitar Company. Seems it would have a weird sound unplugged though.

[@battlesickloner]

Then again, having to religiously wash your hands before you play...nah.

[@Burguois]

Heh, listen to Buzzo sing and his actual voice is a pretty weird difference. You wouldn't expect such a sound to come out of such a well-spoken guy.

[@juanvazquez5836]

1:13 Uh, uhm, uh

[@88_TROUBLE_88]

😂

[@questionauthority9418]

Anyone know what brand guitar buzzo is playing and possibly pedals he uses

[@gustavbertilsson9896]

I used to own the 16W version of that amp when I lived in the states for a year. Really liked it. Dont really dig the clean blend he has got going.

[@galleryofrogues]

What kind of amp is it?

[@wolfgangmunch5711]

You re truth. Ist the Arrangement when each ohne reacts in the fitting moment anders leaving Times for others. That means a Lot of Jam experiance together. If you start with other musician it becomes dificult. I nt it ?

[@vectorialalo]

Thank you Buzz!

[@jMOPS1993]

Damn that tone tho.

[@rizzorizzo2311]

So you just write the music and then attach the nonsense words later? I mean I definitely dig it, just curious.

[@alexwilliams705]

yeah buzzo

[@pullingstraws200206]

I think he's uses a Boss Bass Overdrive

[@johnbowen35]

Elements of Hooch, remind me of Jimmy Pages riffs in Kashmere, not that they duplicate, but rather the sound of the guitars
