You think Longview is just a basic beginner bass riff… but there’s more to Mike Dirnt’s magic than meets the eye.
Longview tab + sheet music: www.noteflight...
Yep, we’re talkin’ about Longview, from Green Day’s 1994 Dookie album. Whether you call it punk rock or pop punk or power pop, we can all agree that Mike Dirnt kills it on the bass.
This is a super popular “beginner bass riff" that everyone wants to play on day one, but there are a bunch of ways you can go wrong. In this video I’ll walk you from level 1 - Noob level - to level 5 - Mike Dirnt beast level.
I bet you didn’t know these things about Longview:
* You can play it as a total n00b and survive a garage jam
* It’ll teach you a rhythmic concept important in jazz, blues, and other styles
* You need to hold a strategic piece of plastic to play it right
* Mike and Billie Joe did something super weird with their tuning before they recorded this album
* Dirnt copped some serious Peter Hook vibes in part of the riff
