People tend to forget that Tom is actually a phenomenal guitar player just because he left an admittedly successful band to pursue his life-long dreams and desires with the money he made for himself. Man is living the life he wants, and that's admirable. As a huge blink-182 fan, I wish the band still went on (Tom, Mark & Travis (with no offense to Matt Skiba, who is also a fantastic musician)) but in the end, Tom is chasing his happiness and I respect that.

Hearing that Dysentary Gary intro immediately brought me all the way back to high school. Enema of the State was my shit.

People are always telling me how Tom and Mark are very basic, simple musicians when it comes to their talent with their instruments. My only argument is always “yeah but when you hear just the guitar section and no vocals, you immediately recognize it as blink 182 right? So obviously they got a signature sound, obviously they are doing something right.”

I started out with a Yamaha Pacifica electric guitar about 20 years ago, and from the beginning all of Tom's licks are approachable, fun and easy to master. I am not guitarist savant or anything of the sort. I'm sorry he is not underrated as guitarist in my opinion. What he does takes very little skill, and even less forethought. He's great to study if you are a beginning guitarist though, and Blink 182 music is super fun.

Without Tom’s riffs I would’ve never started playing the guitar. Crazy how all these riffs brought back a bunch of memories.

Tom is a really underrated player in general. The way he melds his rhythm & leads is just amazing!

It's smart that you're alternate picking these riffs. Saves the wrist and elbow from lots of pain. Me being foolish tried to mirror Tom's live style of playing which is pretty much all downstrokes, and caused me tendonitis over several years of playing. Respect for your clean and articulate style of playing. Kudos!

I remember back in 99 having discussion during lunch breaks at school with my friends about who was the better guitarist, Tom or any of James/Kirk from Metallica. I was on Tom side totally biased because I was into Blink and could understand the Metallica attitude. I started playing guitar and realized that Metallica songs were a little harder to learn and ended up feeling like I was wrong with Metallica and they were better guitarists. Now, after 20 years, I know the definitive answer is that they are all masters at what they do. We have to praise Tom and the Metallica boys for being so good and consistent regardless the emotions they project through their music.
