Amazazing.

[accuracyboy78]

[ShyGirLovesTecH]

[gregg54metalhead]

This bass line is simple because it's a bass blues walk.

[luckyaidie]

Your fingers are long...

[aansar]

Daaaaang --your '79 Precision kicks with the amber gloss maple neck!  Wish Fender would quit making their necks in that ugly bleached look.

Nice playing by the way.

[PunkavenuGreenDay]

It's easier to play with your fingers.

Excellent job man.

[greendaylover4ever71]

DUDE you're amazing! can you mabey do a lesson for this cover please that would help me a lot please reply! thanks

[Blink1544]

fag, whats the point in playing bass when your just playing bass?

[arcademachines]

@Blink1544 That comment made no sense.

[Giuu1039]

@Blink1544 Cause songs without bass are BORING ;)

[Giuu1039]

@Blink1544 Cause songs without bass are like songs without drums... BORING

[CircusEnvy23]

@Blink1544 If you've ever had any band experience(I have a few years behind me), you'd know a song sounds very dull and clunky without bass instruments-even if it's a simply piece. Same goes for missing percussion.

[CircusEnvy23]

@Blink1544 You're probably a guitar player...?

Guitar players always have the biggest egos

[MrMedicateMe]

@CircusEnvy23 Then you've probably never met a lead trumpet player xD

[GALM1CIPHER93]

FUCKING EPIC!!!

when i get another bass (to keep in standard tuning instead of Drop-C) im gonna cover this

[darkthingsinmyhead]

you did the best bass cover for this song lol

[MIRINQO]

ONE OF BEST BASS COVER !!!!!!!!

[xPOPxxxPRINCESSx]

nice basses. what do you mostly use? fender? rickenbacker? ibanez?

[nickthebassguy69]

acid is like candy to them

[PMBuffington]

well done man!

[probstanator]

I like the sound you are using almost better than Mike Dirnt...... actually not at all, but great cover!

[HAYDS510]

can you give me the tab for just after the chorus? i cant find that part right anywhere

[SpazAttackMusic101]

what tuning do u do this in. i can't get the right sound.

[wrothplum12]

@SpazAttackMusic101 I think he's playing it in flat tuning.

[critic560]

im buying a bass guitar just so i can learn this song

[monkeybutlers1234]

there are pull offs on the intro god u dont know anything and i can play it better

[legendz234]

@monkeybutlers1234

He can play whatever the fuck he wants. You think you're so amazing at it. Why dont you give us a cover of you doing it?

[monkeybutlers1234]

@legendz234 dude i dont have a freaken camera y dont u do it 

[wrothplum12]

@monkeybutlers1234 if you don't have a camera then how did you upload three videos? black magic?

[monkeybutlers1234]

@legendz234 yes

[TheFloay]

@monkeybutlers1234 You know black magic? ARHGEGHVEHGFVAESJ!!!!!!!!

[GermanPunkedAmerica]

Best Longview cover on Youtube

[TheBeatlefloyd]

awesome song, love Mike, is that a precision bass i see there???

[TheJayLeHol]

I have that exact same t-shirt.

[MnBr1BrOwNsFaN]

niiiice! you should check out our cover of this song! its not the whole thing but its pretty good!

[CalebTheDestroyer]

Aeropostale doesn't go good with Green Day. Still a good cover though.

[Jimmy95x]

haha It makes me laugh when people say this is a hard bass line, it's really not. first song I learned on bass. none the less, great cover man well done.

[Sk8erguy1996]

i love this song but i don't get what all the hype is about the bass line, its basically just a walking bass line with a few variations (found a lot of time in jazz swing songs) look up a swing jazz song and listen to the bass line then youll see

[adelsaint]

@Sk8erguy1996

I love walking bass licks like that :P

[superkycs97]

good bass!

[TheGigettyBrothers]

i realy like your playing man

[GreenDayRocks3597]

wow...mad respect this looks like a pretty hard baseline. lead is 20x easier. great job 5/5

[eletric74]

NICE



[butterkeks678]

you're fucking awesome!

[Moniek0204]

nice cover !

But you have E.T fingers ! :$ sorry

[Krik3r]

how come wen i learned this bass line a year ago i thot i was super awesome and that i thot that i was one of the few peepl who know it. then i google it up and half the planet knows it.

[Jesse4Jezza]

@Krik3r

Go back to school.

[IfuckinLuvBillieJoe]

God bless Mike Dirnt....he was trippin on acid when he came up with this bass line.

..God bless acid too.

[xXBroBuddyXx]

@IfuckinLuvBillieJoe i doubt he does acid

[1danyol1]

@xXBroBuddyXx lmao why is that? he did write this on acid

[crazymonkeyx]

use your fingers to play it you pussy!

[rayrayray11able]

@crazymonkeyx shut the fuck up thats like tellin nirvana green day and slipknot there pussies

[openroad88]

@crazymonkeyx********I think this is more of a pick song tone wise. And I play with fingers 95% of the time. It's good to be able to do both.

[skitzofranik999]

id strangle a baby with my shoelaces to have that bass

[TerryRMC]

This cover makes me want to get a bass guitar instead of another acoustic guitar next christmas ;P

[duffmanbuzzin2k8]

[LadyCoxon]

[theit111]

[TheKyleawesome]

nice bass

[thebassboy17]

awesome cover ! :P

[TheIbanezBassMan]

hey, what tuning is that???

[tristin183]

@TheIbanezBassMan should be standard

[alwaysbored09]

@tristin183 It should be played in drop D though

[tristin183]

@alwaysbored09 yes. but it sounds like this is E i cant tell too well

[XxFunkBassMastaxX]

@TheIbanezBassMan It's a tuned a half step down, all green day songs are a half step down, from 39/smooth to Insomniac. Nimrod - 21st Century Breakdown is standard, and this song is from Dookie. Hope it helps! :)

[theEddievanhalen]

cool song, nice job dude

[9Astrid7]

good good good!!!

[thebird57]

nice job dude

[RadkaVejdy]

beast job, bass sounds so epic lol XD

[287Striker]

awesome song by an awesome band

and an awesome cover!!

[kaine22111]

Great cover I'm currently learning this song now I'm struggleing a but it's a advanced song and I'm a novence bass player

[095189002]

your bass needs to be tuned to a D#-G#-C#-F# for this song

[americanidiot46]

can u make a bass lesson video for this like u did for holiday?

[Sessoms9]

duddddeee nice cover im tryin 2 look 4 a bassist but i live in a small town and 1 of my friends is a bassist but he doesn't wanna play

[sh0rty1231]

[KazutOnline]

[XglobalwoodX]

@KazutOnline

nah nah, the whole dookie album is half a step down, as is this one.

[TheGreenDayFan10]

I love the bass line of this song and you played it perfectly.

[xGREENxDAYY]

nice job :)

and nice bass^^

[NeLLaKoc]

good job

[dornXklondykeXbar]

Very good, but I think you need to learn how to make it flow better. Great vid. I'd "Five Stars" it, but Youtube took that option away.

[sickluispa]

Amazing cover... :)

[namesDaniel]

very nice

[gigginshammy]

is that that Fender's "All American" or is that a p-bass?

[imadafat]

its cool you can play this..... but your a fucking jock, and your playing a song from the album dookie... ther are so many things wroung with that.... i think pop punk is kind of gay to begin with but when u play this ur the biggest poser ever dude. PUNKS NOT DEAD

[muntanthamster067]

Ok listen dude you don't have to be any fucking style (punk, skater ,jock) it doesnt fucking matter music has no label on it anyone can listen to anything so stop being a fucking asshole! He did awsome on it

[WheresMySpaceButton]

[Yalito12]

the best bass line ever!!

[swimdork1]

go listen to any rush song and you will hear the best bass lines created by a mortal man

[ddevilxdude]

very god song for beginners who want ot learn hammerons.

That's where I learned them.

[GoodSydeBill]

@ddevilxdude what is a hammeron

[ddevilxdude]

@GoodSydeBill Where this dude does a lot of the strumming right after the chorus it's easier to just do some hammerons. Hammerons are when you strum a not and then Hammer/tap your finger on the next note up on the same string without strumming.

ie. Strum e string with index finger on fret 7, and  then hammer your ring finger on fret 9 without strumming.

[GoodSydeBill]

@ddevilxdude thanks dude

[spammanism]

@ddevilxdude at first i thought you said harmonies, but mispelled it.. i was wrong.. fail on my part

[SoakedInBleach17]

Nice one.

[ArmageddonProphet]

HHEEYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! can u send me a tab of this song? I kno how to play this song, but u play a couple notes different than me, so please send a tab to me.

[blameitonbadluck95]

[nirvana238]

[Smoothbassline]

[acousticblinker44]

[mardyben137]

Bit o' LSD, always fun......

[greendayoraplatypus]

[SpankYouuVeryMuch]

yay! i just learned that song :D

[kevinjoenick4life]

thats awesome

[ChainChomp122]

man thats awesome

[themusicaddict0]

you're sorta off in a fair amount of parts. it's a good thing that the music is barely hearable because otherwise this would not sound too good.

[CarnivorousVeggies]

Good cover dude, do you happen to have tabs and would be willing to give me them? your version is way better then mine-_-

[greenday2k2]

I play the guitar and i love green day. I actually loved this song so much tha i bought a bass specifically to play it

[Hossflex]

I prefer Spector bass guitars but my 2nd is fender for their infamous plucking sound. I would dispute that Spector has a better low end sound and more of a jazz feel

[igi2video11380]

I prefer Squier precision ^^ nice cover

[acousticblinker44]

Squier is a piece of shit, u do realize they're just shitty cheaper copies of the real thing?

thats shit dickface squier i
