Modern Baseball - "Pothole" 

OoF

soooo many bands can pull that off

13dirty666 ive seen many bands that cant pull off their recorded sound live, but thats just me, everyone has their own opinion.

Dylan North personally I prefer when bands experiment with their songs live. But you said most bands can't do it, but really that fact you stated is only based on the bands you've seen, which is a small percentage of bands in the world

13dirty666 sorry man, thats what i was meant to write 6 months ago. "Most bands ive seen cant pull that off". is that better for you? haha man, just enjoy the music, sorry i stated my opinion.

+Dylan North I agree! I think it makes the band kinda seem more real and down to earth and it doesn't mess you up when you sing along to it haha

I find it hilarious I know exactly what chord you’re talking about in Tears Over Bears lol. Also, how you doing after 7 years?

Thanks for asking, this was a nice blast from the past. I still play & practise guitar a lot, sometimes even some good old MoBo or Slaughter Beach Dog tunes. Not to brag, but Pothole doesn't feel as difficult anymore lol. Hope you're keeping it up as well! @@mashpotatosauce3566

​@@RaphaelAaronRed I started playing guitar recently, exciting to know that this will be playable in 7 years 😢

@@mashpotatosauce3566 Still remember how to play? That chord is gymnastics

@@TheTorturedxX Position your wrist in a way that lets you stretch across the frets, your arm will probably be at a bit more of an angle instead of inline with the fretboard, if that makes sense, idk its almost 4am here lol.

right?! Along with this song, when I found out that Jake sang Tears Over Beers I was blown away.

I don't know man I could always tell them apart, both really good singers. Their amazing live too!

This song in my opinion was easy to tell it was Jake but they do sound similar sometimes like in “Tears Over Beers”.

why ad the extra b string he’s playing a 6 yo

Such a complicated tuning, had to download some sketchy app to actually get to it

Aaron B it’s not complicated at all fam it’s super common lmao. go to drop D, capo third fret and tune back to drop D

or just a half step down from drop d. you guys are making this way too complicated

Guys just play it in drop d if you wanna play in the key of the original track. E 5 G 4 for first chords

Colors !!!

Nice profile pic

L'enfant sauvage! And same the humor is something I've always loved about Modern Baseball.

The singers? Yeah they sound pretty similar oddly.

McSkattle its because they give each other daily good-morning smooches

I've sort of been able to tell their voices apart, but only after a very long time. Jake (the guy here) has more of a whine-y voice and it's a bit more controlled than Brenden's. Both great, both very similar. It just takes time

+Subhi Husien RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE???????? and i love this so, so much

I thought all four of them could sing...their harmonies are one of the reasons i listen

Joe Hodson They have four. If you want to hear the bassist sing, search for their cover of "When you were young" by The Killers :)

The drummer sings on a few songs

the drummer only sings son "You're Graduation" I believe. But like 60% of their songs are sung by Brendan and 40% buy Jake, the guy singing "Pothole"

@@kalas5391 Sean sings on the bonus track at the end of the Holy Ghost vinyl

(all of these songs are from modern baseball) "Coals" is the most similar to this song, accoustic guitar with Jake singing. "Home" is kinda similar, it's accoustic, but it's sang by Bren. I think the start of "Two Good Things" is pretty similar

The Front Bottoms

Radiator Hospital & Waxahatchee

+Aifaa Jusoh Sorority Noise

+Aifaa Jusoh The Easily Fooled

Pannucis pizza. The vocalist sounds identical in some songs

They have two singers, the other one is the other guitarist, who tends to wear a hat :)

lazy tentacles that’s jake lmao

Are they?

The closest thing would be Dude the love of your life has some serious issues

Drop C# is what that is called.

You can get the tabs on a website called ultimate guitar

+Ewan Clover hey thanks!

you should cover it and upload it!

Don't know the model but it's definitely an Alvarez.

Its drop D flat. So tune the entire guitar down half a step and then drop the bottom E to a D.

Codestuh Thanks! Its all a half step down including the drop D. So the bottom E is a C sharp.

the bottom E is tuned to D, watch his fingers for the rest

+Levi McDuffie that's helpful lol psych

+MaxMorerTDWC I know right

Dominique Sheridan make sure you pluck the strings with your right hand and with your left hand, the fingers need to be on the fretboard. Then pick the way Jake picks his guitar in the video. Got it?

currently doing it

James Barrett Can you please send it to me too please! Thank you!

James Barrett Could you send them to me as well? Thanks so much

If I make a video on how to play it, would that help you guys? I kinda blow at making tabs

James Barrett yeah it would really really help man! I'd appreciate it!

lol figured it out, stupid tuner was pulling my leg
