Tom Delonge New Guitar Riff

[JoshTremblay99]

wishing well 

[LoveLevine182]

Wishing Well is one of my favorite songs by Blink :) 

[lastplacewin]

Disappointed with the result of this riff. Should've been louder, more distorted and a bit faster.

[omerta2]

@lastplacewin /watch?v=vdVONj5otZE&feature=r­elated wish it turned out closer to this, even tho its fake its probably a bit cooler then the real song imo (still love wishing well tho)

[22johnchristian22]

I was actually disappointed with what happened with this riff. I mean, I love Wishing Well, but I expected the the riff the be really loud and fast.

[bassskater96]

Amazing! I remember watching this back in 09 and finally listening to the record, I was like "where do I remember this from" best song on record by far -3

[hitmonlee1599]

Still total shit at guitar... Great singer and performer, but shitty guitarist.

[dirtypupp]

@hitmonlee1599 i wouldnt say shitty, but the messy guitar playing is desirable live, i love it with all the feedback and whatnot

[hitmonlee1599]

@dirtypupp I didn't say that it didn't suit the shows well... They still sound great live. But, that doesn't over-look the fact that he not a good guitarist..

[skatenfilm66]

@hitmonlee1599 He's one of the most influencial guitarists in the last 20 years lol, you don't suck if that's true. he is sloppy though, but hey thats punk rock style so whatever lol

[hitmonlee1599]

@skatenfilm66 LOL, No he is not. LOL

[skatenfilm66]

@hitmonlee1599 Of course he is..Blink is easily top 5 most influencial bands of the last 20 years. Tom is the guitarist for that band. Stop hatin lol.

Btw i've been playing guitar for years, I know he's not like GREAT but he's good. Super creative.

[hitmonlee1599]

@skatenfilm66 Blink is indeed one of the most influencial bands in recent years yes. But none of the Blink members are known for being anything more than average musicians. Blink's biggest strong point is their performance ability. Dammit is a million dollar riff, but most of Blink's biggest hits were all in the same key. How many songs do they have that are more than a 4 power chord progression?

[hitmonlee1599]

@skatenfilm66 I've also played guitar for years, and met numerous guitarists. Never ONCE have I heard anyone say Tom Delonge is a influence as far as guitar playing. Like seriously, what was their most complex song? Stay Together for the Kids? The majority of Blink songs can be learned by ear in 5 minutes.

[skatenfilm66]

@hitmonlee1599 I have heard many people say Tom os the reason they picked up a guitar lol, he was for me. And simplicity doesnt mean everything. Clash..Ramones..Nirvana. Epic and legendary rock bands, and none of that stuff is hard to play. Alota people would put those guitarists as top influencial people, but we all know none of those songs are like..THAT hard lol. Blink songs are easy to play but inspired tons of people, thats all im sayin.

[Kreason95]

@hitmonlee1599 Tom is one of my biggest influences, he also influenced Relient K, All Time Low, and many other bands

[Bfmv7777]

fucking awsome!!!!:D

[XxBiggerBossxX]

BEST SONG OFF THE ALBUM!!!!

[PirateOfTheWastes]

how far this riff has come :')

[MRDiansyah91]

Am I the only one here who thinks that he's like lionel messi??

[chamoy0destruction]

WISHING WELL!!!

[710418oo]

WISHING WELL ! YOU MADE AN AMAZING SONG

[MallratFilms]

WISHING WELL

[traviszildjianbarker]

im so fucking stoked he's used this for the blink album rather ava..

[stealthmeth]

wishing well should be the single for this album..

[sxechad]

wishing well :3

[PsychoSeal1]

I learnt this the first time I saw it on Modlife, so cool to sort of know a new blink straight away lol

[DoGmAnGuY1758]

wishing well! 2nd favorite song on the album :D

[LtheConfidentCoward]

@DoGmAnGuY1758 what's your first? Just curious.

[mynameisden1s]

WISHING WELL!

[xXAAG12Xx]

@BIGBustedfan01 Well you've waited 2 months and now the song is here look up Wishing Well by blink-182

[xXAAG12Xx]

Haha I've been playing this riff ever since I heard it on Modlife and now it's the riff for Wishing Well which I think is my favorite off Neighborhoods.

[BigWinky]

Best track on the new album

[Vipercon182]

This is Wishing Well!!!!

[TimoMuse]

wishing well !

[kilnikator]

its wishing well :)

[LaReaper26]

mind=blown

[RRguitaristTC]

Any one that says tom has got fat is blind..if you look from last album he really isnt skinny there either... it's just his hair or his face your lookin at...he's really almost the same..cept now he beast at guitar even more than he already was

[Zozol182]

Tom is a genius !

[XcomputernerdX]

Sickk!

[givemexsandohs]

aw, look at him while playing, he's just so cute !

great fucking riff too, sounds super good

[KhpTanya]

Oh, Tom, I love your sound)

[OniJozh]

I really want to know what happened with this song.

[MarksAsianFriend]

theres a vid of this song with bass and drums. dont know if its actually blink but it sounds sexy. just search new blink demo european tour 2010

[RRguitaristTC]

@MarksAsianFriend

ha nice name.... hope he sayd I found my asian friend at the next concert....yeah look up the vid by kevinisinoregon... its on the side and he teaches you how to play it

[jaiidelonge182]

LOVE how he just bites his lip and bops his head while he plays. He knows how good he is <3

[Billiewhat13]

that is the happiest riff ever!

[zTiZzO]

ZoMg how do you play that?

[davewato182]

I am a straight guy but little cheeky smile gets me every time

[Elaina0907]

It's pretty:) I think it's definitely AVA and I hope its on their new cd coming up

[nicke182s]

wonder if this is "Up All Night" ???

[OniJozh]

It sounds nothing like AvA. It seems more like Blink to me. That is... if he even actually uses this for a song. This is from a while ago.

[kmomokbs]

QUIT LEAKING THIS SHIT ASSHOLES WE PAY 20$ A MONTH FOR SOMETHING

[GoodSydeBill]

Tom looks french

[badtown88]

@GoodSydeBill

That might be because he is French.

[GoodSydeBill]

@badtown88 Good thinking.

[TomMestFan]

STOP FUCKING COMPARING IT TO OTHER SONGS U STUPID CUNTS!

[TomMestFan]

i reckon ava. dont care which band, its tom. it will be great.

[Johnwatches]

So rad! xD

And what's with the dummy-happy face Tom does while playing? Gotta love that too.

[urfriendkevin]

@BrandynPryce fuck you

[BrandynPryce]

This should be AVA.

[theethmeister]

God, his style is so fuckin rad. I can't wait any longer for the new blink album, im gonna have to look into freezing myself untill it comes out

[YourLoveLetter]

he needs a better external mic. he uses his macbook pros built in mic and it sucks.

[shankdrummer06]

the short hits make it sound like AVA

[rockettransam911]

the best 45 seconfs of my ife........just sayin

[JOBOB335]

can any1 tell if this is on LOVE?

[BrandynPryce]

@JOBOB335 it cant be, but it should be AVA some time

[dudzi777]

that riff sounds kinda like not now but a little different. Tom rocks hes a great guitarist and singer no matter what anyone says!

[yourbiggestmistake18]

I could just sit and watch him play the guitar all day long ! He is amazing!

[MadmanAcrossTheWater]

sounds like a folky Not Now.

[drumnoahworld]

that makes me smile

[KyleOudman]

"Not Now?"

[pepsigosselinavril]

i love how his head just goes side too side :)

[LADodgerKid714]

Awesome Riff!! 

[blazen113]

Tom Delonge is Under rated because they started early 90's and beccame big late 90's early 2000's but the only people who appreciate him are the old fans that foolowed him through blink 182, Boxcar Racer and AvA. In my opinion tom is one of the greatest musicians and hes my biggest idol in my music career. Thanks Tom!

[dsiphor98]

@blazen113 i have followed them since day 1 and love them and always will. But a lot of the people who have followed them since cheshire/dude ranch cant stand them now cause their complete change.

[phil182skate]

@dsiphor98 ive followed them all the way from cheshire through today they are the shit

[danverinodude]

Aesthenia ;)

[Burro1231]

the thing about Tom, is that he can take that simple riff and make it into something completely different and powerful.

[xEpiphoneSG]

Lol by the end it is just SCrEAMING blink

[p00123456789]

it kinda reminds me of not now but this riff is pretty cool does anyone know anything about the blink album or the blinkumentry

[unleash1the8beast2]

@p00123456789 yeh, not sure about the album, but the blinkumentary is gonna be out like this month or next month, definately before the summer europe tour

[klingstuh]

Haven't watched this video in a long time... And I still get goosebumps.

Just look at Tom playing the guitar... He looks so excited and so into it. I love it!

[Highbeam00]

Its awesome :)

[yoyojeje123]

reminds me of all time low...

[kidfromschool1]

@yoyojeje123 not really All TIme Low SUCKS. It reminds me of Blink cause thats kinda the band Tom plays for.

[rmarino4471]

@yoyojeje123 maybe because they rip off blink 182 for there riffs just like all the other little homo bands like that.

[BILLYBOB12231]

@rmarino4471 All Time Low used to be a blink-182 cover band. And they're awesome in their own way.

[rmarino4471]

@BILLYBOB12231 all time low. funny live. terrible musicians. really gay dudes.. what else can is there to say. doing a pop/punk cover doesn't take a shit ton of talent.

[TreCoolismyhero]

@BILLYBOB12231 dude, all time low suck balls

[MikeDNewton]

I meant 0:39

[MikeDNewton]

0:49 sounds like Blink. It is for Blink because he said so on the full video a while ago.

[NINJAMauri]

well none this dosent sound like any of the songs from LOVE, so its for blink hopefully it makes it on the new album i think its an amazing riff O:.

[will3219]

is this a song from "love"? doesnt sound like it, must be some new blink stuff

[eunelise]

he was in his own world when he was playing

[hqvyhqvy]

I don't think it sounds like Not now.. If you play it on guitar it sounds totally different! xD

I think it sounds awesome!

[ckillbaseball13]

nice...buts it sounds too much like not now

[converse321hedley]

tom is cute :)

[Gruntywunty]

it does sound like not now

[Bballnerfmvp]

hopefully this is something for blink and not ava

[MadSkillsJohn]

@Bballnerfmvp really i hate ava love blink

[qberty182]

at 0:20 sounds like AvA

[mightymouse5565]

beginging sounds like Not Now

[ChildOfTuesday]

This riff was on modlife pretty early in the whole blink reuniting thing, and the first demo they came up with was Up All Night. And they are going to record it fully in January, and i got a feeling this is up all night.

at least i god damn hope it is.

[Drumzzz22]

skilled guitarists can still stay simple

[Nickismyname7]

@Drumzzz22 Not exactly but you've almost got it. Tom is definitely not an amazing virtuoso or anything but he is a good guitarist. In music it's not who's more skilled but who can arrange the notes the best. Tom may create simplistic riffs and melodies but that's his style. Everything he writes is extremely melodic and harmonized. While it may be simple it's better than seeing some clown wanking around on a guitar playing solos at 188bpm.

[STEMOSbruder]

@Nickismyname7 i gotta disagree with the viruos-thing cause with AvA he created a totally new music-genre!

[puroPinchePopPunk]

@Nickismyname7 true that bro :)

[PierreDad]

I want the tab of this riff, just to have fun with my guitar :)

[rock2dream]

see him smiling? its cos he has lyrics down for it and he wont let us her them yet. the way he is nodding means its definitely a blink song.

[xXAAG12Xx]

@rock2dream You were entirely correct, if you haven't heard it yet it's Wishing Well by blink just got leaked today.

[rock2dream]

@xXAAG12Xx That's insane. Obviously I had no idea. Crazy! At least the album is cool.

[iAWPbutFail]

def gonna be a Blink song ^_^ even tho it reminds me of Box Car Racer.

[gurdulf]

yeah i agree it does sound like boxcar racer a little bit but i loved boxcar so i hope this will be on the album

[steveypeavey]

not a bad thing

[SecretCrowds44]

hope this urns up in a blink song not an Angels song, think it will fit better

[unreelpanorama]

fit

[tomlove182]

omg!! i love him

i love your smile tom

marry me:D

[Pierre12383]

<3 <3 <3

[xblinkxfanx182]

fucking amazing.

if he doesn't use this I'm going to tie myself naked to a chair and light myself on fire lol

[Akidnameddroo]

make sure you get your friends to upload it on youtube...

thanks...

[lilidancer5678]

i hope he uses this . so good

[roy32096]

@lilidancer5678 he does, for wishing well!

[theMay15th]

sounds like NOT NOW - BLINK 182

[chiopunk182]

Im playing the guitar and IT SOUNDS LIKE NOT NOW if you play it faster :D but its not the same riff and chords

[dogdude2005]

Sounds awesome

[kuntucky123]

very nice cant w8 to hear the song

[MisterrNelson]

sounds really good

[SecretCrowds44]

i hope this is blink, with marks fast bass and travis's amazing drums with this riff would sound awesome. it would be better then adding the AvA affects to it.

[Meclesky07]

@SecretCrowds44 well it wasnt on the new A.V.A album soo... ITS GOTTA BE ON THE NEW BLINK ALBUM! but im not all that thrilled about that, i want blink to play what they played in enema of the state, and take off your pants and jacket, not what was on their self titled album.

[RRguitaristTC]

@SecretCrowds44

ha 69 thumbs up..i wont reck it for ya...haha umm any way if you look up Blink 182 rehearsal Eurpoean tour...there's a recording of the instrumental(with out lyrics) of this riff with bass and drums...sounds like travis so im guessing its Blink182....pluss if you look up Up All Night lyrics or Kaleidoscope Lyrics you can find them...and there's videos on how to play this riff.. i know how too...it's eassy

[rawrrstephani]

Omg tom. just watching you makes my life <3 i thank god everyday for you !

[blink182drummer101]

im glad your saying that about tom and not one of those gay jb fags

[eduardodecker]

cool

[Cheerchick41196]

I LOVE U TOM MATTHEW DELONGE

[mitchfrommyspace]

my hero

[will3219]

Mine as well.

[will3219]

i love it!

[inFamousGrnApples]

still don't know how you can make such simple chords so beautiful. haha

FUCK

[SaintJimmy007]

this is amazing!

[thundermonkey182]

does anyone know what key this is is?

[marceloiacovone]

I'm pretty sure he kinda messed up a chord and just realized it actually sounded pretty good :)

This riff is awesome..

I made a tab of the first part of it..If I manage to do the rest i'l post here on youtube

[EonBlue74]

is this gonna be on the AvA record or the Blink reecord???

[kara366]

Sounds more Blink.

[tomdelongemarkhoppus]

tom is a god.

did you hear this? its amazing!

Thomas Matthew DeLonge Jr. is a God.

[xgrassyx]

i love it

[xXxBuB433xXx]

well. . . .

that sounds a lot like the gift.

[ShitMyAssFucker]

....is exactly as not now...well the beggining

[Pansdotter]

AWESOME

[yftguy]

this is such an awesome riff. wish you could see the guitar and find out what he's doing

[lol700]

ja, same here. i wanna learn it, sounds really good.

[xSeptemberFirstx]

Not hard to figure out if you know how to play a little bit

[aGraphicWay]

definitely .. many people just like to play as fast as possible and if u play slowly u suck.. musician nowadays just wanna show off when they go on stage.. but tom is different.. love u tom!

[sploosh1314]

sounds like blink

[ThingusBand]

you can tell he was proud of that riff, who wouldnt be, it KICKS ASS! can't wait to see if its for AvA or Blink, it sounds more AvAish but i really wouldn't mind having it on a blink song either.

[ThingusBand]

actually with a little distortion, it might be an awesome blink song. kinda like Not Now.

[ZonKite]

Waouw, thats sounds great:) Tom is the best :)

[pentrard]

simple riffs, awesome shit. go tom!

[jdhop09]

can't wait to hear their new stuff

[justseanmusic]

tom delonge in my opinion is one of the most under-rated guitarists of this era, some of his riffs are pure genius.

erm...go tom.

[bigm4sho88]

I agree, in his style of music...He's sick. Alot of people can play his songs, but his rhythm is whats always so catchy.

[justseanmusic]

yeah man, hes full of fresh ideas, we need more tom delonges, most music now is so stale it annoys me =/

[aGraphicWay]

dude thats so fuckin true

[justseanmusic]

thanks man :)

[thefakeboy1980]

I agree... he's not the best guitarisr cause is riff are simple but they sound like nothing else...and don't need to be more complicated..its pop punk shit!! that's great...and he's obviously the best song writter I ever seen ...BLINK FOR THE WIN

[ProjectTheLife]

@justseanmusic Yeah, but they're all the same. Lol. They never change.... I love Blink 182 but yep... all their shit is the same. This is coming from a loyal fan of theirs since I was 13, I'm 21 now.

[justseanmusic]

@ProjectTheLife yeah same here, but then, you can say that for most great bands.

its because there sound/style of play is so unique and identifiable, you become immune to them lol.

[DivineTranquility1]

@justseanmusic not realy dude.

Like when i was 10 i was in a little band and my friend would make guitar riffs.

he didnt know who the fuck blink 182 was or anything. he only knew the band "the beatles" cuz of his dad. and he would make shit up and i would always say Oh thats a blink 182 song.

[destructus666]

luv him

[WoWFan2709]

i love toms face there LOL
