BRIAN BAKER (BAD RELIGION) GUITAR LESSONS (1/3)

[Speedemon5463]

I love it -- "There's a ton of guitar players out there that are better than me... But none of them are in Bad Religion" Definition of dont give a fuk

[81eagle]

I love when he plays the old DAG NASTY riffs.

[JJJinJesusChrist]

Brian; how much do you ask for a private lesson. Í´d like to learn to play all the great stuff of Dag Nasty (including Epitaph stuff and with Shawn Brown): Leo is dead it is not the end of the world; great lyrics on Field Day. I imported some copies of these from Margit (We Bite Records) even though I prefer that Giant cd version (including the Ruts; All Ages Show and so on) Cheers but no beers! I am straight edge for this life as well as my wife! Be blessed!

[yankeessuck1138]

Damn those guitars for being so expensive though! I just got my first guitar and I tried to play like this one guy in a video(he did it in slomo) and it sounded like total shit! Nothing like it, my cheap beginner guitar doesn't sound good at all, idk bout you but it makes learning a lot harder for me

[DRUGFREEG]

he got 100 Les Paul Customs after that. the gibson manager probably fired 10 responsible employees after realizing that brian was not on the gibson endorsment list.

[antipopboner]

Minor threat and ian hate the term emo even thought fugazi and dag nasty are influential to the creation of the genre.

[jewie27]

i would think that Baker is sponsored and doesn't have to buy guitars...

[PsychoFalcon666]

YOU'RE a songwriting tool! Haha, jk. Bad Religion is my favorite band of all time--they're so inspirational! :D

[superbee]

35...HA!

[eatmeimsteak]

im just starting to learn to play guitar...if i'm going to learn from anybody it's going to be fucking from bad religions guitarist.

[pigasus]

Shilling for Diet Coke!

[f1l173]

minor threat is 1000000000000 times over , better than bad religion ! thumbs up if u agree

[badreligion76]

@f1l173 hahahahahahah thats like comparing real money to monopoly money. dont get me wrong minor threat is good. but bad religion is a LEGEND!

[f1l173]

@badreligion76 sry but i really dont like bad religions vocals , i mean im more into dez cadena , henry rollings style , never really liked the spoken nor melodic vocals ....

[badreligion76]

@f1l173 i can understand what your saying.

[DarkDizzle845]

This guy is awesome! This is the best guitar lesson on youtube period.

[chillyrooster]

at 4:46 baker saYs he ls better then brett and hetson at gultar HAHA

[thepunkfish109]

He always seemed like a quieter guy to me for some reason. I'm stoked to know that he's hilarious as well as an amazing guitarist!

[guitarslayer17]

I love Bad Religion and I think Brian is pretty good, but he always plays the same. I know it's "just punk rock", but Bad Religion isn't just any punk band. BR has 3 guitar players and its disappointing that all 3 play barre chords at the same time. He does the same solo every song. A lot of potential really....

[ziondarvin44]

thumbs up if tom delonge brings you here!

[Wiolshit]

I like it when he plays while speaking (around 6:45) like he can't help it. He's a great one. You rock, Brian Baker !

[therealrene]

wtf, you say you tape the logo of the guitar, however you do promote by saying it yourself that it is a gibson..

[WarrenAndJeremy]

hes funny and i have a quarter stuck to my arm...

[gogopepsi]

"There are thousands of people who play guitar better than I am.. than I do. However, none of them are in Bad Religion"

He's implying that he's the best guitar player in Bad Religion? He's definitely the fastest, but Hetson is just as good at making his solos sound good.

[stjimmy25]

@gogopepsi He's implying that none of those guitar players play in Bad Religion.

[lastangelsofrock]

does anyone know a good affortable tube amp for punkrock like nofx, bad religion, social distortion

[rmarino4471]

@lastangelsofrock how loud do you need it? ha ha. honestly dude bugera makes decent tube heads for the money. for the money they actually do compare to marshall (sound wise)

[bbeigwada]

good !!

[Druffmaul]

Anyone know the name of the song that starts right before the end of the vid?

[tee5150II]

@Druffmaul

It's called "New America"; title track off of that album.

If you're into BR guitar covers, check out my channel!

[asdfasdsfsa]

oh god he should have tuned first :D

[skankin45]

I met this dude at Warped Tour once. He was pretty cool

[Oldspooneye1]

I love Bad Religion, Dag Nasty and Minor Threat but this guy sounds like a fucking arrogant jerk. I love how he points out that his Gibson Les Paul is the most important thing for his guitar playing and then says the logo is covered because he won't shill for anybody. Umm...thanks Brian, but I think you just did.

[lastangelsofrock]

shit i need a good nog to expensive tube amp for playing punkrock i have a stupid line 6 -_- can someone pleaas help me ?

[CounterCulture87]

If you wanna know a good amp for punk rock there is only Marshall, primarily the jcm900 but I doubt you can afford one out of pocket. Luckily almost ANY Marshall works just the same. Most come as tube and in stacks as standard so take a look them. Best amps period dude, no lie.

[rmarino4471]

@CounterCulture87 line 6 is making better amp's for the money now. marshall is living off their name

[1991Tijmen1991]

@lastangelsofrock Get a Kustom HV100, cheep, and Marshall quality. I own one, and I love it, wouldnt change it for the world

[camisadolee93]

"There's two guitarists in the band, you know. Someone's gonna pick up the slack." Haha.

[StreakingInJanuary]

I love his Les Paul.

[degausser505]

Hahahaha his minor penatonic was a major scale.

Oh my god I love that man.

[spameister]

No it wasn't

[degausser505]

Yeah it was.

[spameister]

I'm very sorry, it simply was a pentatonic minor. He played two notes per string.

[degausser505]

Ack, you're right. I'm so bad at distinguishing scales for some reason.

My mistake!

[spameister]

lol No problem dude, keep rocking ;)

[TheChangeling9]

your gay.

[1990rms]

"I learn the earlier songs backstage 10 minutes before we go on". oh I love Bad Religion.

[twinkieramirez]

Just to make the bass player laugh :)

[NerdInHisShoe]

What song is that at 3:08?

[OscarDigitalDude]

The song is called "You've got a Chance" from the album The New America.

[paranoidsnake89]

Brian Baker is one of my punk heroes :)

[psican1]

He should speak for himself rather than downplaying Bad

Religion's musicianship,

[michael23punkrock]

I idolize this guy...

he rocks

[BennyTubs69]

at 5:18. is that any particular dag nasty song?

[rottenenglish]

this dude was dating my aunt!

[MickeRamone]

hahah love the part "I mean theres 1000 better guitar players than me, however none of them are in Bad Religion..." =)

oh man , what I wouldnt give to be able to play just 1 song with them on stage! would be so freakin sweeet

[erikboben]

you are freakin weird u queer ??!!

[wolfgang747]

your mom

BAKER IS SO GREAT !!

[myarseisround]

5.40 adams song blink 182. just an idea

 lol

[josefreak5]

Tom Delonges biggest influence was Brian Baker.

[gtiger66]

yeah especially the walking bass note idea.. you can hear it in almost every popular blink song, and most other popular 'punk' songs these days. haha i just read your name, pd!

[josefreak5]

pd!

Yay! :D

Haha

[FTNvideos]

the best

[Wubgirl123]

im takeing lessons from him!!!

[elwalton]

Brian baker is the best punk guitar player ever!!! (estara bien escrito?) jajja ok..

[naurispunk]

People like bryan baker are the ones that inspire people to play music for fun not because you want to be the-fastest-most-arrogant-assh­ole-around.

[crossbowfan1]

Brian's first band in DC even before Minor Threat was "Crossbow" a high school cover band with Scott Rolle, the former Frederick County Maryland DA. They did a reunion (sans Brian) in Dec 2006. You can see the video on here "Crossbow Reunion"

[bigwig007]

He taught Tom of blink-182.

[maverickxpunk]

When doesnt Jay laugh. He's like 'let me drown you out with my rock lady!' haha. Brain is so very funny I think that if BR ever stopped he should start doing leasons.

[Herzog1012]

:D

Go listen to Minor Threat's Out of Step record. You'll never hear tighter punk playing.

[mrpunk2]

What he means by he's been in other bands, he's been in "Minor Threat" and "Dag Nasty".

[crashthepopularkids]

he was the bassist from minor threat

[imintopunk]

he also played guitar in the band. him and this one other probably traded off.

[kellrockon]

this is my hero

[mariahspantsonfire]

Brian's hilarious - and talented

[algazino]

bad religion ought to be happy to have baker in the band ;)

[felsner1]

Love that modest, low-key attitude... :-) Guy's really sympathetic.

[minky812]

Can you respond to a Junkyard reunion?

[minky812]

Your work with Bad Religion is awesome . what's the chance that you will reunite with pat and do some Junkyard stuff? It's dirty n, raw and safe.

[emptyheadbrokenbones]

what is the song that you can hear at the beginning?

[josekenobidiaz]

That's "Dont seel me short", last song from "The New America"

[smashead1]

he's talking too much and showing not enough. pussyass

[ShinkenRuffy]

that finger-walking thingie sounds like the intro to

Live again(fall of man) on The empire strikes first:P

[phoenixrisingg]

awesome guitarist...but a fucking dickhead.

[novabrian]

Why?

[rabidsquirrell1]

How is he a dickhead

[rickmurray]

:( It took me to the end of this video before I realised id already seen it, my head is getting more fucked up by the second lol.

[projectno5]

i think gibson should give him a sig

hes better than billie joe and he has one

[Vulg4r]

I couldnt agree with you any more.

[emptyheadbrokenbones]

you're damn right....but the sad thing is that endorsees are very often a matter of money....just think about avril lavigne or shakira's fenders....

[spiff10009]

Brian Baker has been a role model of mine since I was in Elementary school. His work in Dag Nasty, Minor Threat and Bad Religion is something to be admired by everyone

[JND777]

Hahaha, "people will think your Billy Corgan"! Great Lesson!

[Bonomomonkey]

thanx for posting dude...This guy is a great player=)
