Not perfect and with no backing track it’s a bit exposing but with a band around it I can pull it off.
What I enjoyed learning by this one is all the changes of pace. Two seperate picking sections, with quick changes from strumming or picking to strumming. 4 chords but several strumming patterns, both palm muted and not.
Lots of things go into this song so while at first glance it’s a punk rock song but it’s no Blitzkreig Bop.
Wow .That looked pretty fast and looks good and it sounded very good too … totally unnecessary to post your piece without a backing track and thus let any errors be heard… but extra points for that and very cool that you did it because it gives an extra good hearing the piece you are playing so thanks for that, and I still think what you play is great
Very good. To me, that looked faster than pretty fast. It might be worth practicing a little slower to iron out the few mistakes fr om less confident changes. Well played!
Yes, a fast track this one dials in at 218bpm, which is quick, but not uncommon in my style of music. Thankfully the original uses up / down strumming so it’s not as fast as it may seem.
@beejay56 yes I practice it slower. Normally around 80-90% speed I’m very accurate. I probably don’t practice it standing as often as I should which impacts my accuracy as much as the speed.
@HappyCat w/o the backing track is OK but it’s supposed to be band music so it’s always gunna be better with the rest of it.
@Prof_Thunder correct. Glad you recognised it. It was a Delonge special inspired rebuild with all new electrics etc. so it’s only fitting I posted some Blink182 on it. It’s my cheapest guitar but also maybe one of my most fun to play.
I may post a run of Brainstew by Greenday. Very easy song and with these high output pickups on high gain the distortion is Ssiiiick and great fun.
Thanks for noticing.
It’s a very cool guitar and made me think my next build might be a one bridge humbucker strat with hardtail for punk songs.
My strat build is a bit too clean and standard to be a punk guitar and has 3 single coils which I guess doesn’t really duo the job.
I only just started learning the power chords and finding it quite challenging (and string muting extremely challenging), but this is what I initially took up guitar for so I can re-live my punk youth in late 70’s UK.
So brave of you to post without the backing track. I like it. It really highlights the trickiness of the picking/strumming patterns and changes. You kept a good rhythm throughout. Nice job! And by the way, that’s a sweet guitar for this song.
New found respect to anyone who can play and sing at the same time.
Been trying to get it done on this song for a while now and while I know all the words, and can play through the song independently, trying to marry it up is next level.
Admittedly this one is fast but I lose pace, miss rhythm changes, and forget words when trying to do both.
and very cool that you did it because it gives an extra good hearing the piece you are playing so thanks for that, and I still think what you play is great
