  • I don't like Green Day that much, but Mike Dirnt is definitely a brilliant bassist

  • mike looks like the one friend who is pretty normal, but when he is drunk, he becomes crazy. Definetly one of the best bassists.

  • Thanks for another great video. I'm sorry if this has been asked and already answered – can you help me better understand the 2 khz boost tip? Do you mean turning up the high-mids? Also, here is a suggestion for another bass player review – do you know the 1977-ish era punk band The Pagans from Cleveland, OH, USA? Here is a compilation album with most of their songs (https://youtu.be/BgDvAFs3gD0). The bass player on some of their best songs (e.g., "What's This Shit Called Love") is Tim Allee. Thanks again for all of your amazing videos, they are all so helpful to my bass playing!

  • I absolutely love this series of videos. I went down a rabbit hole and watched nearly all of them. Kudos to you. I would love to watch you break down Joe Lally from early Fugazi next.

  • I learn more about building arrangements and building song structures by these vids than al my guitar lessons combined.

  • These videos are great man. Learning all of these tricks from different bassist has really helped me write better basslines and find my own style based on a hodgepodge of things I've stolen from the greats 🙂

  • Awesome video! I looove Mike’s playing. I just miss the more “lead bass” approach he took up until the Warning era as opposed to the more stripped down approach he favors nowadays.

  • as a bass player whenever someone asks me how to learn bass i say but the first ramones album they mixed it so all the guitar is in one speaker and all the bass in the other…put the balance to the bass side and you will learn every thing about rock….. cool channel btw song structure chord patterns and locking with the drummer and they all agree i was right 🙂

  • Thnk you for this video! It was really great! I think mike put the sound of band on his shoulders on the first 4 records, his basslines basically gave life to the songs. In dookie and Insomniac the guitars were a little flat, but the basslines and the dynamics he created for those songs were the best. Have a nice one! ????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  • About 20 yrs ago I taught myself to play Bass.. (Yes, I still play lol) Anyway, I learned to play several of Mike's Bass lines to sorta teach myself how to build or structure a bass line. Although my "Style" isn't really like his. Once I learned how to Seriously play, my style is more like Matt Freeman's.. I didn't copy Matt's style, that's just how my style turned out to be. I'd never want to copy anyone's style. As a Punk Bass Player I never use a pick either, I get way for Melody and can play way faster when needed and I also have way more control playing with my fingers.. I think Mike is a solid Punk Rock Bass Player, it seems like in their earlier Albums his bass lines had more melody, and he played more notes and passing notes. Now it seems like he plays more bass chords and 8th notes of the root chord. Which there's nothing wrong with that at all. Anyway really awesome video!! ????

  • Thank you for the tips!! Very helpful! I had no idea the pick you use can affect your sound!

  • I would really like to see a video about the Loody blues bassist John Lodge. He is one of my absolute favorites.

    Reply
  • Very cool. Another one of my favorites on top of Duff. How about doing a video for Tom Petersen – since you have the Cheap Trick style 'more bass' shirt and all 🙂

  • Hey Paul, I was wondering if you could review JJ Burnell's bass style from The Stranglers sometime. Cheers!

  • I actually don’t like Green Day that much but boy they sure crafted an instantly recognizable and iconic style and I’d say besides the singing it comes down to the bass guitar.

  • Great demonstration and I think I'll try this. As your other demonstrations with other bassist. This is a great channel. However I really hated to see how Mike trashed those instruments. He lost lots of points for that. Being "punk" is no excuse ????

  • Fantastic demo at the end on how to incorporate some of Dirnt's techniques! It really showcases how you can change a simple bass line into something more interesting and melodic.

  • What a great analysis of one of my favorite all-time bassists! I have to admit, I feel that he took a little more liberties in the bass melodies earlier in his career. It seems his basslines were a little more intricate in his early years, and he really dialed them back after the Warning album. Thanks for the 2Khz boost suggestion – that really helped me grab that punch I've been looking for to emulate his style!
