Rancid - Journey to the End of the East Bay Bass Lesson

This is one of the most outstanding rock basslines from the 90s punk era, Matt Freeman (Rancid & Op Ivy bassist) is easily one of the most inventive, creative bass players of all time.

I know i messed up a few times but I am more concerned with people learning from the video than showing how flawlessly i can play so I left the mistakes. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!!! I'm just learning bass and i didn't think i was going to be able to play something as awesome as this, but now I totally can!! (besides constantly keeping up with the speed sometimes) Can't wait to learn some more Rancid bass.

dude i know exactly how you feel, i didnt think i could learn this song for years and then all of a sudden i figured out the first couple measures one day, after that it only took me a little while to figure the rest out, my all time favorite Rancid song is Maxwell Murder. the bass solo is crazy, im going to learn that too one day.

Thanx for the comment!
