Mike Herrera is a freakin fantastic bassist. Life In General had some my favorite bass lines

[@AJbassist]

you can tell who took jazz band in highschool in this bassline style

[@2Timone7]

There will ALWAYS be multiple Matt Freeman bass lines on any "hard to play bass line" lists. The man is a master of speed and accuracy -and his TONE!!! He's one of my favorites along with the much underrated Michael Anthony (who actually does knock down some "punkish" bass lines in some of the early VH stuff). And of course, the great Paul Simonon. Great playing, great video! Thanks for posting.

[@borissidealmeida]

Happy to see you playing Hot Water Music, one of my favorite bands! Great vídeo

[@Dan-Bass]

Agreed, very underrated band.

[@BodaciousWickerman]

Kicked it off with Sacrifice Theory! Nice! The Crowd is one of my faves by Op Ivy for sure. The intro rocks. Always love a bit of Face to Face. It looks harder to play than it sounds! Choking Victim and Sublime always had some quality bass lines. Great video as always.

[@danm2084]

The crowd was my favorite song we covered and one of the only op ivy songs i know. I think we also did sound system? Is that op ivy? Lol. Fun shit doing the crowd bassline. I kinda just winged it but it sounded close enough.

[@BodaciousWickerman]

@@danm2084 Hey bro that's awesome. Yeah, Sound System is another banger by Op Ivy! What's your band called?

[@MrDWat3]

Mike Herrera and MXPX all day, baby! Hell yeah! Great video once again!

[@robertzacarias9435]

That Music Man is beautiful, I play Fender but those Stingrays have a super recognizable tone. My friends has a Music Man Big Al and that things got an amazing tone as well. Good playing!

[@2Timone7]

You are right about that, Robert. I've played a Fender P Highway One for about 11 years because the killer tone of it, especially with punk and hard rock. I passed up the purchase of a Music Man recently because I felt the tone was so close to my P and wanted something really different. I'm beginning to see I was wrong -the P and the MM are very similar yet very different. My son recently bought a MM and I think I will do so next. They are beautiful and sound great!

[@victorgomez7423]

There's a bass solo in a Green Day song called Dirty Rotten Bastards which is harder than Stuck With Me

[@mitchellking2590]

Ahhh, more Mike Herrera.

[@aarondavis4341]

That Sterling has killer tone, just as good as it's big brother stingray

[@YouCanCallMeXoe]

the best part about Failed Imagineer is the sheer beauty of that bassline, and how amazingly the bass solo fits in and makes the bridge shine even brighter. Legit one of my favorite punk songs of all time.

[@lordundhimself1310]

I'm not much of a pop-punk lover, but as a bassist i still listen to learn about combining melody and groove. Pop-punk bass is special in that regard

[@PunkRockLifer]

CIGARRRRRRRR!! Watching them live was on another level, he plays it faster and with his fingers!!! :O

[@jedheath3510]

Lush bass and lush bass tone, seriously impressive sound

[@vickiignaszak5041]

I mean personally I wouldn't consider "5 finger discount" a super difficult bassline simply because it's just arpeggios, so if you already practice arpeggios then it's pretty easy to learn. My biggest struggle with learning it was playing it at tempo. It took me a good while with a metronome to work it up to tempo. I guess it could be considered difficult for the speed. Great video dude.

[@JxBx80]

First, you are amazing. Second, I have a hard time believing NewYork-to-Nowhere was that technical even on the recording. I’ll have to listen again carefully.

[@brandonsolis6911]

Should do Steamed Hams but it’s a bass line

[@dbuonojr]

Watching hot water music live and watching Jason black hit that fill and all the other stuff he does, with no effort is something of beauty. If it's still available online, he played with senses fail for a little bit, and he does some crazy shit in their live version of bite to break skin, it's almost unfair how underated the man is

[@lepetitemonstre]

I love that Rufio is featured on both of these!

[@cornnflaek3271]

In other words, Matt Freeman GOAT

[@2Timone7]

Haha Right?

[@nojusticeanywhere]

This was really cool. I'd really like to see you try to do some AFI and nerve agents. Their basslines always break my brain a bit

[@nojusticeanywhere]

@@SugarpillProd oh my god! as if I missed that! so sorry. I do love that you mentioned Hot Water Music in this. their basslines are so good

[@vincentvanpot4333]

You're a total natural bass player. Your timing is perfect every time. Do you have any tutorial videos?

[@kirbybahe525]

All good bands! Keep it up man! I love your videos!

[@GDT1124]

Cigar will forever be the most underrated Skate Punk band ever. And he plays without a pick. Insane.

[@SugarpillProd]

For sure, they're a great a band. Their newest album was killer too!

[@GDT1124]

@@SugarpillProd It's amazing! We only had to wait like 10 years too! hahaha!

[@SugarpillProd]

@@GDT1124 Worth it, haha!

[@travboat]

Check out the bass line from Wrong Way Kids by Bad Religion. Didn't notice how sick it is until I saw a live video

[@Minyin3737]

You have great ideas for videos

[@radioffvoicesnoysyvisionna7643]

Was about to look for new bass lately, this video is a good starting point

[@reallybadbass4525]

Something you can play at music store

Like the Angel, Blood to Bleed, Prayer of the Refugee, Drones, Give It All, Rumors of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated, Alive and Well, Last Chance Blueprint. Probably a few more I forgot.

How about a bass line from "Time Again" one of these videos?

[@happyguycol]

Anyone know the model of that bass. Obviously it's sterling, but that exact model, it's gorgeous. Can't find it anywhere

[@benkrantz7191]

I think its just a Ray34

[@ChikaraGuy]

yo man i think you missed a note in detroit. like theres one thats hard to hear at the end of the riff

[@half-assedgaming2249]

hot water music is the fucking best

[@joewhitfield5561]

You should include Mercy me by Alkaline trio

Cigar rules!!!

[@basedbuz]

Dude thanks for showing a cigar song. They are so incredibly talented and the bass player is nuts. ♥╣[-_-]╠♥

[@thebodaggit]

I finally got to see them in San Diego last year. Best show I've seen in a while. They have a new bass player but the original came up and played Wright and Rong with them. Would definitely love to see more Cigar on this channel though!

[@triminhtruong251]

They freakingly likely belong to somewhat tricky

[@mrdudelove1]

Cigar👍

[@PunkChef77]

You should find an entire list of punk songs a whole step down.

[@SugarpillProd]

There's a lot! Though it's usually more to do with being better for the singers range, rather than the sound itself.

How you gonna have Rancid and the song is not white knuckle ride? Lol

[@jayfinnegan2023]

I can't believe he put a HWM song on here. Not really pop punk

[@SugarpillProd]

It's not a pop punk list though?

[@jayfinnegan2023]

@@SugarpillProd I misread the title but I had already made the comment. As far as the spirit of the comment it was meant to be taken as an appreciative nod for including a well loved band who aren't as popular as you think they are. The original comment read poorly.
