FAT MIKE requested this song! Bass Teacher REACTS to NOFX - “Suits and Ladders” Play Through

➡️ When the artist themselves make a song suggestion, I take it 🫡! After seeing a few short clips of Fat Mike playing “Idiots Are Taking Over”, I wanted to see his bass play through of “Suits And Ladders” to really study his technique further. ‪@nofx4441‬ are a brand new band for me, and were key in starting this channel down a full-on punk rock discovery. His lines are deceptively tricky, and rely on a lot of nuance (even down to which way a string is plucked) to get the right “feel” and “bounce” his melodic bass riffs offer. I whip out my own P-Bass and a trusty .60mm pick to wrap my head around the oddly-phrased bass intro and discuss his palm muting approach, why elements of his technique are crucial to the bass line’s sound, a breakdown of the song’s chord progression, and some unsolicited advice on developing your own technique! 😉🤌🏼
