Thanks for The Adventure J-Cool.

It's very different, quite atmospheric. I like it though. It's great to hear Tom again, even though I don't like his voice that much.

New HiMyNameIsMark podcast is up, featuring Renee Renee, Something For Rockets and Imogen Heap

does anybody know where to get the old himynameismark podcasts?

Also, a new Macbeth podcast is out with Tom interviewing Hunter from AFI.

Since we are on the topic of guitar playing, what do you think is the hardest blink song to play?

i dont know much about guitar, but i think boring sounds the hardest

Boring is easy to play. For me at least.

Yeah, Boring is pretty easy. I just figured it out on my own.

I'd say the hardest blink songs might include:

Wasting Time
Ben-Wah-Balls
Dysentery Gary(I could never get the triplet picking down too well)

These aren't hard, they are just the more difficult ones imo.

At school today, at lunchtime some punk-*** kids were in the music room playing Dammit, and Adam's Song. God, they sucked.

He means Behind Crimson Eyes, I'm pretty sure.

I had a bass lesson today, and my bass teacher is really good but very old-fashioned. He won't teach me how to play with a pick. I told him that if I'm ever going to want to do something with a bass, it would probably be playing other bands' songs that I like, songs with bass players that play with a pick.

Grr. Playing Blink songs without a pick is retarded...

And he goes on about how all the recent music is too easy and uncomplicated. Why should music be made complicated if it sounds great uncomplicated?!

Sorry for the rant.

I agree with all of the above.

Sorry for the rant.[/QUOTE]you know you can do what you want eh, you can play with a pick if you want. Tell him stick it up hs [b]a[/b]ss and get over himself if he has a problem with it.

and you can learn Blink songs by yourself at home.

I use to learn bass my teacher was cool his band even covered some blink 182.. My advice to you quit bass lessons i did when i relised i didnt wanna be a really good bassist i just wanted to be able to play well enuff to be in a band.

Yeah, maybe M+M's.

you know im not sure about m&m's being the hardest, sure its fast but thats it. Wasting time has some hard timing things and going from the chords to the notes would prob be alittle difficult altho ive never tried that song. Obvious is kinda hard.....he used a weird tuning and i belive some weird chords......i think the songs on s/t are prob more techincle and harder to play and or figure out. most of the old stuff is easy as long as u can play fast......actually ervything is pretty easy! the only thing i cant get is when they do rock show live theres that pull of in the intro i cant quite figure out.....


oh and the guy whos teacher wouldnt teach him how to use a pick...i think thats a good thing, ull be gratefull in time to come. but u can always just use a pick at home, its not like u need a teacher to play blink songs (unless you just started or something)

The hardest Blink song is Reebok Commercial imo.

Yeah M+M's, Wasting Time, I suppose the Carousel 'solo' in the bridge took some practice.

I just listened to Don't by Blink, such a fukin amaaze song

M+M's isn't a difficult song to play : /

Actually, I found I could learn all of the self-titled album very easily. It's all simple rhythms and 8ve shapes or powerchords. The only real exception is I'm Lost Without You which has some impossible fingerings, which were done via multitracking.

I think the hardest time I've ever had with a Blink 182 song is getting the timing to Untitled on the intro right while trying to sing it, or the bridge in Carousel.

[QUOTE=letter bomb]The hardest Blink song is Reebok Commercial imo.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that lead solo is quite hard. I think everyone has their own opinion on which song is the hardest.

as with anything else, it depends on your style

Is all of "All the small things" in C Major?

Ahhh thanks for the advice and being on my side...:D

When I first started playing some songs off EOTS such as Don't Leave Me and Aliens Exist were way too fast for me.

Those aren't really that fast. You just gotta practise heaps and it gets easier.

yeh its hard cause you have to play a power chord then the lil riff thing.. you can do it the easy way by just doing a single note if your lazy

[QUOTE=yourstruly]Those aren't really that fast. You just gotta practise heaps and it gets easier.[/QUOTE]

Yeah it's ok now, but back then I was struggling to keep up.

Hardest blink song on guitar is proberly reebok commershial

I remember learning The Rock Show and it was too fast for me. It's really easy now though. Just took some practice.

I learned loads of Pennywise before learning any blink... By that time nothing was fast to me anymore.

[QUOTE=yourstruly]Is all of "All the small things" in C Major?[/QUOTE]

Yes.

Carousel isn't hard, its the timing that is a little awkward.
To 10571z, why limit yourself to one type of music. It's always better to play all different styles of music.

what? when did i say i limit myself to one type of music???

what do u think is the hardest bass song

carousel and capocpany

After a while Carousel isn't that bad, but at the start it took me forever.

Took me about 10mins of complete focus to get that stat bit of Carousel. Rest is pretty average though.

Carousel was the first song I ever learnt on bass..
(I played bass for about 6 months before I started guitar.)
I didn't care how hard it was, it sounded so ****in' cool. I got it down in a day or two. After that everything seemed stupidly easy on bass, as I really only played blink songs when I started. Which is why I started guitar.
Wasn't that a great little story?! Wanna hear some more!?

I would say that top three would be: Marlboro Man, Carousel, and Cacophony.

[QUOTE=poo-poo-pee-pee]Wasn't that a great little story?! Wanna hear some more!?[/QUOTE]

Go for it. In my current hung-over state stories could do me good.

[QUOTE=These_Green_Eyes]I would say that top three would be: Marlboro Man, Carousel, and Cacophony.[/QUOTE]

Marlboro Man has a nice guitar solo.

I love the song [I]Alone[/I].

One of the first songs I learned to play.
