yeah also sounds a bit iron maiden to me,not sure why, maybe the sort of galloping rhythm?

Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Suicidal Tendencies, Agent Orange, Descendents, Adolescents, Tsol, DRI... These made me learn bass, and then got me into metal step by step. I'm very greatfull of punk for that.

You have a really in depth knowledge of a certain era of Punk Rock that resonates with my High-School era so much! So I guess Late 90's/early 2000's. But to a point In feel like you could probably write an entire book about it. Keep sharing this with us! I find it fascinating to explore a period of music that at the time, was written off as overly simplistic, but clearly has so much intention behind it

@SugarpillProd 5 ай бұрын

Thanks so much! Yeah, the late 90s/early 2000s punk scene has some really great songwriters overall - so much awesome music that doesn’t always get the credit it deserves. I’ll keep sharing more for sure!

I had a roommate in the 90s that played bass in a punk band. If you looked at anywhere but his hands he was barely moving. But, he would have to change out the strings about three times every show.

@Mighty_Atheismo yeah, it did. One year for Christmas I splurged and bought him a few sets of strings.

I think some of my favorite bands are NoMeansNo, Victims Family and Rhythm Pigs. All of them can loosely be described as "Jazz Punk" (at least for some songs) I think. Kepone is interesting too, but I wouldn't say they belong to my favorites. And all of them have some very fun bass lines, although there aren't many tabs out there, many tabs that are out there are wrong and I suck at hearing stuff and translating it into actually playing it. And yes, I kinda had to think about Jazz Punk because you mentioned "Walking Bass" and my first reaction was "So the rumors are true... punk is just lower class jazz".

@Kuhmuhnistische_Partei 5 ай бұрын

But I also like more simple punk bands with simple, repetitive bass lines. Like check out Slime - Deutschland musss sterben (It means "Germany must die", but for the context, one of the nazi slogans in the Third Reich was "Germany has to live, even if we have to die (for it)" which was coined by Heinrich Lersch, an enthusiastic fanboy of the NSDAP after whom multiple schools and streets are still named. So the Slime song is basically the antithesis of it, "Germany must die, so we can live").

How do you get your bass tone?

@SugarpillProd 4 ай бұрын

Either I'll amp it using my Axe FX, or I'll just use the DI signal and mix it in that way - I think for this video specifically it was the former.

@kingslaphappy1533 2 ай бұрын

I noticed that you used all down strokes for the root notes examples but for the others you used alternate picking. Can you tell me the reasoning behind that?

@SugarpillProd 2 ай бұрын

I guess it just feels more natural to me when I'm playing something a bit more intricate. There's less to worry about when it's all root notes, haha.

No I'm serious! Thank you Mr. Boomer, now I finally understand what real punk is. It's just the same 5 English bands from the 70's (even though punk didn't start there but whoops, better just forget that) and nothing more. It never evolved or expanded beyond its simple beginning. It always remained one rigid, uniform sound that everyone had better conform to, or else the dreaded "you don't listen to real punk" accusation could be hurled at you. My eyes are finally open, so thank you! jk
