Knuckle Puck On How NOT to Play blink-182 Riffs and Their New 20/20 Overdrive Pedal
Музыка
#KnucklePuck #PopPunk #Guitar
Knuckle Puck's guitar team of Kevin Maida and Nick Casasanto started playing just like everyone else did. From being introduced to the instrument by a family member to learning all the Green Day and blink-182 riffs they could handle, their history is pretty normal. But it's what the duo have done with Knuckle Puck that makes them awesome. Judging from KP's impending new album 20/20, and the enthusiasm these two have about their craft, these guys are lifers. They filmed this episode of APTV's Six-String Stories back in the days when a band could tour without facial coverings.
Maida and Casasanto trade stories and shop talk like they're the only people in the room. The repartee feels less like a Knuckle Puck interview and more like a quality hang with friends. They reveal their first experiences with the instrument and discuss each other's purported "bad habits." Maida reveals why the front of his guitar is so badly scratched up. Casasanto plays part of a song that was his gateway to emo.

While the conversation is really great, the guitarists give us a preview of something they've been working on for a while. The self-described "tone guys" reveal a prototype guitar overdrive unit they were using during the last Knuckle Puck tour. Guitarists can dial in a specified tone with the unit, offering a number of potential sonic modifications. The unit, the 20/20 Overdrive, is now available for players right here.
At first, when Maida and Casasanto came in with the mysterious "black box," we didn't know what to expect. It wasn't exactly the nuclear football to America's launch codes. But we were honored to get an up-close look of the unit in action. Of course, you can hear tones both driving and luscious on 20/20 the pedal and 20/20 the album. So even if you're not a guitarist, you're still getting a treat. Mark your calendar for 20/20's release Sept 17.

I strictly only play extended range guitars at this point. Only six string I own is an acoustic. Want my 7 string story...?
Instrumentally, Knuckle Puck is for sure the best pop-punk band in the game. They're all super talented and pretty technical for a pop-punk band and have such a unique tone.

Knuckle Puck is my #1 favorite band, but this comment is sooooo wrong lol they are all very basic in every instrument. Where they shine is their energy shown through their emotions in their songs and the songwriting itself

@@zach.is.young96 some of their song aren't in standard tuning...and not only using the standard power chord. They oftenly used different voicing like maj7th or maj3rd and etc (my ear can't figure it all..😕). I think there is a song by them on a open tuning...for a pop punk band pretty sure that was pretty technical, at least for me.

man, you said it.
I bought one of those 20/20 overdrives. I know there aren’t many out there, but if you ever get a chance to play one or buy one I highly recommend it. Most OD pedals are classified as “low gain”, “medium gain,” or “high gain,” but this one is more than capable of doing all three. But it really shines at those gritty pop punk tones!
These dudes wrote the most emotional riff ever. The "Conduit"

@@nocaptainmatt3771 I change my mind. Giving Up by Silverstein is STILL the most emotional riff ever written, then Conduit. The lyrics from Wait also hits way close to home. "You always did feel just like home, bt you were always so unreachable."
I love how their just friends above all else you can tell by how they talk to each other.
Kevin is so reserved on stage that it was unexpected to see him be so talkative
I used to ride bikes around the neighborhood with Nick and my cousin. We would literally swim in his pool every weekend. Glad he’s doing good for himself!
i know nothing about guitars but i love listening to these guys talk about them
they sound so comforting explaining things
Well hello... Looking good guys. Can't wait for the new album!!!!!!
I played that anthem part 2 riff the exact same way with 2 fingers until my guitar teacher was like you gotta play it with 3 fingers and then I was like alright but I still prefer to use 2 fingers for the same reasons that kevin said!!! hahahaha!!!!!!
Dude KP has totally stayed true to their sound and I love that about them like other bands they came up with changed completely but KP stayed so real and true. And just matured in such a better way
