I learned it at level 4.5 lol. I didn't do the diads at the last measure; but I kinda simulated the sound of it by a quick slide/pickup note into the measure so that it *sounded* like I was picking the open and fretted note it turns out🙃 I could hear it, but my young, inexperienced brain didn't know what I was doing at the time, and we didn't have KZread to watch Dirnt's hand XD

@@Emily_M81Same here. None of the tabs I found online had the “duh-Dirnt” feel of those notes, so I did hammer-ons from open strings. It’ll be great once I can play by ear, finally.

I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I was very disappointed that none of your levels included the lead in open D (or Db.) Before every opening E or the rhy. fig., doesn't he include an open D to work as a transition between the higher fretted note of the diads and the lower fretted note of the figure starting over?

Mike wrote the song while high on LSD and according to him the main riff of this song apparently was half of the full riff that he did while on LSD, but he couldn’t remember the other half so we got this riff instead.

Your attention to details is on absolutely other level.

Do I play bass? No. Did I watch this whole video? Yes.

THANK YOU for finally bringing Mike Dirnt to Videos like that. I feel like he's such an underrated bass player in the genre, putting a song within a song with some basslines. If you read this and don't know what I'm talking about, listen to "welcome to paradise" or "J.A.R.".

I thought 5 steps for such a simple bassline was excessive, but for total beginners this is actually a great way to learn how different sorts of basslines are constructed

Love the glowing fingering. This is a huge next step in training!

blast from the past goddamn

Hey Josh, I hope all is well. It's a great tutorial . What really got me was the high lighted fingering ,the first I've seen, and what an excellent visual component to add to this video.

I agree. I noticed that immediately. Nice distinctive feature Josh.

The glowing fingers is a nice effect. Really helps see what you're doing.

As an experienced player, this was excellent Josh. Once again, it shows what a great teacher you are and a fantastic way to learn a song and progress. I loved the glowing fingers! So many channels become too advanced, I love how you are dedicated to newer bassists. Well done.

Thank you so much for your channel! I used to be a drummer and years ago I tried to learn the bass on my own but gave up. Because of your videos I got the bass out of storage again and for the last 10 days I have been practising about 2 hours a day and can't stop anymore. I have already learned so much from your videos in these few days, it blows my mind. In the next jam session I can hopefully already be a bit of a bass player :) THANK YOU!

Wow, Josh unlocked the next level of teaching and got the "Glowing Fingers" pack!

I was waiting for you to make vidio about Mike Dirnt since I started playing bass. Thank you❤

I own quite a few basses but that Squire (same colour) has a special place in my heart. I play it a lot and I love seeing you using it here. Great lesson!

Mike dirnt is such a cool and melodic bassist, every green day song has these little hidden bass lines that just an absolute joy to seek out and listen too! (a few of my favs are: JAR, Stuck with me, Minority)

Yes! A new Bass Buzz video! Let's goooooo

Always good vids BassBuzz!

Before I start practicing on bass I always watch your precious videos.

This was one of the songs who gave me more inspiration to become a Bass player (apprentice, but bass player =D ). My level here is 5. I love this song, so I spent a huge amount of time to make it sound right. Thanks for this video man

Great video Josh, this is perfect for beginners we all wanted to learn this but back in the day all we had was the CD to listen to, I actually had it on Cassette first lol, your edits are top notch as well!

This bassline is awesome, thank you ❤❤❤❤

Where is the 60s Noob Josh? we miss him.

This song is why I became a bass player! Awesome video dude

Excellent lesson - thank you!

Another great tutorial Josh! Very fun bass line

I cannot hear even the first few notes of the Love Will Tear Us Apart riff without shivers

Lighting up the fingers was awesome. Thanks for this.

Epic video my guy!

Fanstastic video, thanks Josh - gonna grab my Bass now and give this a go! 🎉

Hey, Josh! Great video idea! I’d love to see more of these where you break down popular riffs from different levels. You have a series!!

Great video. Thanks for this.

I was born in Longview WA and this is the first I’ve heard of the song title’s origin, pretty cool. I learned this bass line the day it hit! I was 23 years old then…

2:04 Nice! adding in Plato's cave allegory...Helps reinforce the image of the bass as a thinking man's instrument.

These videos are gold standard Josh. Definitely helps with the learning process and getting quick wins by playing along almost immediately at level 1 🤘 I reckon you've also got the best method for plugging the usual KZread "like, subscribe", almost like a subliminal message for this and your B2B course except they make me laugh so I notice them 😎

The bassline that started it all for me

Awesome thanks josh

I really hope someday you make a similar video but for Lemmy from Motorhead! These types of videos are great!

Good vid. There is more to this video than just learning a song. Nice.

This is such a cool and great tutorial ! My inner teenager is so hyped: this must be one of the very first basslines I learned (with Teenage Lobotomy and Rock'n'roll Radio). I love especially the way you break the riff into pieces and also throw light on Mike Dirnt : such an underrated bassist who serves the song and add nice counter-melodies to it. Thank you Josh !!

Right On! Too Cool!!

Hi Josh, thanks for the video! As a topic idea for future videos, I feel like it would be helpful if you could do a video on muting the bass while using a pick! There is not a lot of resources on that subject on youtube at the moment.

You should definitely do a similar video on love will tear us apart.

been playin this song right for 20 years, but I still watched the video coz I enjoy all your vids Josh! Next time please break down the bass solo to Stuck with me or the intro to J.A.R. haha :P

My first bass was the Squier jazz too. Mine was brand new but it was only $200 bucks the back in the day. Lent it to my child for their high school guitar class and had to go buy myself a new bass because I never got it back. And They also gave it a nickname - J Black

Actually, there is yet another level --- the way Jeff Berlin plays it. He uses standard tuning but plays it in Eb -- holding the Eb at the 6th position on the A string as the pedal point. Pretty cool.

This was one of the first songs I learned on the bass and that was actually courtesy of the September, 1994 edition of "Guitar World" which included guitar and bass tabs for the song. (I bought it for the Pink Floyd article) Back then we had to buy magazines to get music tabs and video game strats. #backinmyday #getoffmylawn

i actually had no idea about the picking technique, thank you for noting that in here! also from what i hear mike does an open strum on the a then a string hammer on to the seventh fret.

@Jarod-Thomas

I opened my laptop just to make the same comment, but I always thought it was an uppicked open D into the downpicked fretted 7th. Could be wrong, but I think that's how Guitar World tabbed it and it fits the picking pattern

Great video Josh, as usual. My question is where is the GEDDY LEE video???? Please do a deep dive into one of my ultimate influences.

Awesome Dirnt, dirnt, dirnt da dirnt Danny

I would absolutely love a video on a Suicide Machines bassline. Their bass players have historically written killer lines, as well as get a really crisp and clear sound out of their finger playing. I'm happy to throw out a list of tracks, tho I'm guessing you've heard of them.

I woke at 4 am to see that you had done a mike dirnt video, i instantly clicked on it lmao

8:12 alone those lines kinda, the Skynyrd song Simple Man during the guitar solo has a cool bassline but you lose the low end so I asked my bassist to play the same thing an octave lower since I'm the only guitar player to keep that foundation and it works really well. It's sort of a combination of the cool one on the album and the regular part during the chorus. Gotta do what you gotta do!

The bass with red strings on it, what model number is that? Been trying to find one just like it with the maple fret board for a while and no luck.

"...Mike's moves to make more magnificently melodic MOTIFS" There ya go

Was hoping for some Dua Lipa, but Green Day is ok as well. Thanks for another amazing lesson :)

9:23 Just let it RANG hahahahahhahaha gave me a chuckle

JOSH, the finger lighting is fab, excellent idea. It's often very hard to track what a player is doing -- esp if they're terrific at keeping their fingers close to the strings. Kudos!

"Not Josh" the Stig of thus channel!

holy shit josh is so cool

From when I first heard the song those swung notes were always the key that made the song for me. It just made it sound . .. sarcastic. Almost as if the bass is trying strut, but keeps stumbling or tripping at the "wrong" point.

this was 100% the first song i tried to learn when i got a bass a year ago and i also definitely used the "duh dirnt dirnt dirnt dirnt duh" method but i also started learning at level 5 so it took a couple days

Not a Green Day-person but still interesting! Thx! Made it up to level 3 ✌️

What are you playing at 9:32? I know I have heard it before.

i was always lazy and didnt do the swinging 8th note thing.... but did the open note at the end.... but considering i learned it by ear forever ago means i'm still giving myself some credit. lolz

Surprised you didn't list Blink 182's Carousel with those bass chord riffs. Whenever I remember that I can play Longview, I always also remember how to play that song.
