        Hey everyone,

        Well I don’t think I need to worry about anyone knowing who these guys are.

        Pop punk at its finest, this is a superb track.

        Nothing complicated just 3 chords but I will say that the bass line took a fair bit of sweat to keep up for the entire song as it’s obviously not my main weapon of choice.

        Hope you have as much fun watching as I did playing it.

        Thanks for listening.

        Liam.

          Oh boy, Liam, I have to say Green Day are not my favourite, (I think it’s the vocals more than anything) so thanks for the warning. However, you rocked it my friend.

            For someone who’s main instrument is not bass, you really did rock it.
            Thanks

                      Hey Liam,

                      What are you using to isolate vocals part?

                      Thx

                          I get the backing tracks for all my covers from here – https://www.karaoke-version.co.uk/

                          You can strip/isolate the parts and use it as a backing track in your DAW

                          Good job Liam, I was thinking the same as Joe, but maybe you did that on purpose to frame the shot? 🙂

                              Very well done Liam! Every time I see you playing bass (and in this piece you played it very well, not an easy one I can guess) I want to buy a bass, but I’m resisting 😂!

                                  You definitely should get a Bass!

                                  It will hurt in the beginning, but it will help your musicianship 10 fold once you learn it.

                                    Liam you are a great rhythm player and music arrangeur! The sound quality is always top. I always like your posts.
                                    But I really like when you do your own great stuff, collabs or Brian’s lessons.

                                                Sounds great, Liam! You make a really good point. To play a “simple” yet solid and driving rhythm part on bass or guitar for 3-4 minutes non-stop, with the groove of the song depending on you, is WAY harder than it looks. Well done!
