"How to sound like Dave Ellefson of Megadeth" would be cool especially with the different drummers and guitarists they've had in the band.

Paul, I really like the part at the end where you take a normal bass line and then apply the features you talk about. Very educational to see the line transform to fit the artist. Please keep doing this!

"How to sound like Frank Bello" Dude is the most underrated bassist out of the big four, he's one of the few bassist's that is audibly distinct.

Mike's come a long, long way since I knew him as Mike Pritchard and Mike Paulson back in Rodeo, CA in the early 80s. He had it tough growing up, so it's nice to see him achieve this level of success.

How to sound like Matt Freeman of Rancid next!!!!!!!

Definitely one of the best modern rock bassists, Mike certainly has his own style that both stands out in Green Day songs and compliments them really well. I'd love to see one of these for Mark Hoppus (Blink-182), Paul McCartney (The Beatles/Wings), Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) or John Entwistle (The Who) as well at some point, great job dude and keep up the awesome content

I forgot i wanted to recommend him in the comments of a past video and there he is! I learned to play bass to (mostly) two bands in the mid 90's, Green Day and The Cure. At one time i knew every single GD songs' basslines released between 1990 and 2000. Still play a few of my favorite ones sometimes. In my own basslines i often still find some Dirtnisms. It's undeniable he has had a lasting influence on my playing. I also remember learning about altenate picking watching Jaded in Chicago which i had on tape. Like i learned to play bass 100% by myself, no teacher, no yt, no tabs, no theory, no no nothing. And i was strictly downstroking at first until i was rewatching jaded and realised "WHAT!? you have to pick downward AND upward!? That seems impossible!!!" (to me then...) So i had to relearn how to pick basically. In my personal opinion you can trace when GD started to suck to when Dirnt's basslines started to be boring. And that was around American Idiot time. IMO

How to sound like Les Claypool How to sound like Chris Wolstenholme How to sound like Mike Kerr ooooooooooooooooor...my dream video: How to sound like Tetsuya from L'arc en Ciel!

You should do David Ellefson or Rob Trujillo next

Need to do one of these videos on Matt Freeman from Rancid

hey, I love your videos. I feel like a good video would be "How to sound like Sammy Kishka of Greta Van Fleet" or "How to sound like Peter Steele of Type O Negative" Or "How to sound like Royal Blood"

Demo at the end was perfect!! It brings your advice to life! Looking forward to the next video

Really convincing and thorough video ! Thank you ! This one means also a lot to my inner teenager. And I am still learning music because of them !

Another brilliant Episode. I love how you put these together, short, sweet and to the point. Very interesting insights. Would love if you could do one on Adam Clayton some day

Love this kinda of episodes. So great!

Love the practical demonstration at the end, keep it up!

Fantastic demo at the end on how to incorporate some of Dirnt's techniques! It really showcases how you can change a simple bass line into something more interesting and melodic.

Man, I've been loving your content lately, but this one just means a lot to me. Green Day is probably my #1 most influential band since I was a teenager when American Idiot came out, and Mike Dirnt is one of the guys that has inspired me the most. Awesome demonstration of Mike's techniques at the end! 🙌🔥

My god, I love this video series, keep it up man! Would love to see a coverage of Joe Principe or Chris #2 soon!

Great analysis! Love this video!

I absolutely love this series of videos. I went down a rabbit hole and watched nearly all of them. Kudos to you. I would love to watch you break down Joe Lally from early Fugazi next.

Another great video, I always learn something. Can’t wait for the next one.

Thanks Paul :) you bring the these unsung guys into spotlight. I've been playing since 1982 , grew up playing to records of Motley Crue, Thin Lizzy. Etc. I think this really helps anyone who wants to play and write in a band. Peace :)

I really love sooo much this chanel! 🙏🙏🙏

This is a cool breakdown, thank you! Mike Dirnt is amazing, and a super nice dude too.

Therapist: Long haired Mike Dirnt isn't real, he can't hurt you. My demons: 0:25

These videos are great man. Learning all of these tricks from different bassist has really helped me write better basslines and find my own style based on a hodgepodge of things I've stolen from the greats :)

As always, a great video!=) I am not the biggest Green Day fan but I like Mike Dirnt's driving and effective yet melodic bass playing

A GREAT watch!!

Best Bass series on youtube! Please dont stop! :)

What a great analysis of one of my favorite all-time bassists! I have to admit, I feel that he took a little more liberties in the bass melodies earlier in his career. It seems his basslines were a little more intricate in his early years, and he really dialed them back after the Warning album. Thanks for the 2Khz boost suggestion - that really helped me grab that punch I've been looking for to emulate his style!

Thank you for the tips!! Very helpful! I had no idea the pick you use can affect your sound!

I really liked your ideas at the end on how to punk it up.

Class ✊. Subscribed

thank you for this.

Están buenísimos estos videos. Súper claros y útiles!

Nice video dude!

One of the Best ever!!! Mike Rockin'n'rollin' the punk bass!!! Thanx from Russia!!!

I learn more about building arrangements and building song structures by these vids than al my guitar lessons combined.

your video was informative and useful. thank you

very good mike video

Brilliant ending!

First of all, I dig your videos! I have learned quite a few songs here. A David Ellefson video would be cool.

Thank you for those videos! They are very helpful. I would love to see one on Joe Lally of Fugaz, bacause he's great but there is not much to read about him

Awesome video! I looove Mike’s playing. I just miss the more “lead bass” approach he took up until the Warning era as opposed to the more stripped down approach he favors nowadays.

Very Cool Video, Thank you for really finding what stands out in his playing, you tell i to us in a very technical and easy to understand way. Next up woul be cool if you do Mark ''the Animal'' Mendoza, He really have a way to play but can't really pinpoint what like you. Thanks man

Awesome! Thanks for the Dee Dee video too. I was gonna comment to do Mike Dirnt on that one as well, but I didn't wanna be choosy.

Green day is legendary. Best selling punk rock/pop punk band of all time with over 90 million albums sold worldwide 🤘

Thnk you for this video! It was really great! I think mike put the sound of band on his shoulders on the first 4 records, his basslines basically gave life to the songs. In dookie and Insomniac the guitars were a little flat, but the basslines and the dynamics he created for those songs were the best. Have a nice one! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤣

Great stuff, bit out there but can you think about doing mani from the stone roses, some very underrated stuff going on there from one of my favourite rhythm sections ever

Very cool. Another one of my favorites on top of Duff. How about doing a video for Tom Petersen - since you have the Cheap Trick style 'more bass' shirt and all :)

Nathan Maxwell of flogging mollyis also an underrated punk bass player in my opinion.

These videos are great, even if I’m not a big fan of some of the players it’s always useful to learn what techniques they use. How about one on one of my favorites Paul Simonon?

Love the channel and the analyses! Steve Harris, please!

mike looks like the one friend who is pretty normal, but when he is drunk, he becomes crazy. Definetly one of the best bassists.

I would really like to see a video about the Loody blues bassist John Lodge. He is one of my absolute favorites.

Your channel is amazing man, I subscribed. Geezer, Cliff Burton and now Mike Dirnt, you've covered a lot of my favourite bassists. I would love to see videos on Dave Ellefson, Steve Di Giorgio, Peter Steele and Steve Harris.

Liked this bit on Mike Dirnt. Would like to see one on Adam Clayton. Thanks for your videos.

Mike Dirnt my teacher forever y Love Mike

now that there’s two, three extra members, his bass lines have really calmed down

I recorded a cover a while ago and didn't even realize I naturally incorporated these techniques already... sliding, octaves, hard picking and the EQ (mixed it myself) xD feels good anyways. On suggestions, +1 on the Les Claypool idea, eventually Carol Kaye and the late Minutemen's bassist would be nice too. The Police and Alice in Chain's bass tone/tech perhaps? There's so many...

love this series!! Jeremy Davis next pls??

as a bass player whenever someone asks me how to learn bass i say but the first ramones album they mixed it so all the guitar is in one speaker and all the bass in the other...put the balance to the bass side and you will learn every thing about rock..... cool channel btw song structure chord patterns and locking with the drummer and they all agree i was right :)

5:10 disappointed this didn't say "DIRNTIER" disliked Jk great video 😂

I love Mike I love Green Day

this should be titled “How To PLAY like Mike Dirnt” - keeps those of us looking for a bass amp sim/DI/VST from being let down -

Great video. Can you explain me please what boost on eq means? Do i have to boost every knob? Also i would love to see a video about Moke Starr from AiC on your channel. Keep on rockin!

About 20 yrs ago I taught myself to play Bass.. (Yes, I still play lol) Anyway, I learned to play several of Mike's Bass lines to sorta teach myself how to build or structure a bass line. Although my "Style" isn't really like his. Once I learned how to Seriously play, my style is more like Matt Freeman's.. I didn't copy Matt's style, that's just how my style turned out to be. I'd never want to copy anyone's style. As a Punk Bass Player I never use a pick either, I get way for Melody and can play way faster when needed and I also have way more control playing with my fingers.. I think Mike is a solid Punk Rock Bass Player, it seems like in their earlier Albums his bass lines had more melody, and he played more notes and passing notes. Now it seems like he plays more bass chords and 8th notes of the root chord. Which there's nothing wrong with that at all. Anyway really awesome video!! 🤘

Hey man, new bassist here. These videos are great. How about Matt Freeman if you haven't done him.

Please do Jason Newsted!

Yeah you nailed it at the end with your bass line demo Great video series Keep them coming

Jason newsted would be really cool

Thanks! How to sound like Geddy Lee? His bassline are very complicated for me..

Descendants bassists

You should do a video on either Roger Glover or Glenn Hughes

Mike is the reason I picked up bass.

Can you do one on Tony Butler from Big Country? Guy's an absolute beast

Graham Maby and Bruce Foxton did some very excellent stuff. Maybe you can cover something from Joe Jackson or The Jam? Thanks!

The Bass becomes more important, in Trios like this case.

I'd like you to do episodes on two of my biggest influences: Roger Waters and Tom Scholz.

could you make one of Chris Slorach (METZ) or Pavel Kozlov (Molchat Doma)?

Matt Freeman next!!

A video on flea would be awesome

Hey Paul, I was wondering if you could review JJ Burnell's bass style from The Stranglers sometime. Cheers!

I'd appreciate a video on How to sound like Jason Newsted in the black album tour

Ca you do please a video about Chris Squire or Paul McCartney?

Cover John Paul Jones

can you do Mark Hoppus or Les Claypool

How to sound like Paul Raven from Killing Joke

Matt Freeman would be a great video.

Review JJ Burnell of the Stranglers? He has an interesting style

Would love to hear Rick Wills from Bad Company and Andy Fraser from Free

Chris#2 from anti flag!!!

But only add this flicks of major 3rds, 5th’s etc if there is space and does get in the way of a vocal, drum fill or a lead guitar.

Make video about his tone pls

JJ Burnel Stranglers Next! 😍

Also Frankie Bello from anthrax

MORE PUNK ROCK BASSISTS PLEASE! LET'S GO FOR MATT FREEMAN NOW!

Could you possibly do one on Mike Herrera of mxpx please!?
