Punk Rock
Yesterday – Prog/Punk
Ever heard a prog/punk version of Yesterday by The Beatles? Now you have – and also, now you know how to play it! I recommend playing this with a pick to really nail the attack of Punk Rock as w...
Sick Lix: Eben D’Amico (At Your Funeral)
This particular record by Saves the Day is a personal favorite of mine – the bass playing is just stellar! I never knew who the bass player was or where he came from, but so many of his lines ar...
Sick Lix: Roger Lima (Automatic)
In the 7th grade my friend Ken brought me this Less Than Jake CD and told me to try and learn this song. I couldn’t. I couldn’t fathom what the heck he was playing. Almost 20 years later I...
Sick Lix: Hunter Burgan (Catch a Hot One)
I got this record for my 14th birthday because I was the biggest AFI fan. I’ve always adored Hunter’s tone and attack, and though pick playing isn’t my strongest suit I’ll stil...
Sick Lix: Fat Mike (The Idiots are Taking Over)
NOFX is one of my favorite punk rock bands, and Fat Mike never fails to amuse me! I’m not a very strong pick player and I’ve always struggled with plaything this particular lick. One of th...
Sick Lix: Randy Bradbury (Final Day)
This Pennywise record, Full Circle, changed my life as an 11 year old punk skater who was dabbling in the realm of bass guitar. I remember my friend Kenny and I were learning to play it, but he was wa...
Sick Lix: Roger Lima (All My Best Friends are Metalheads)
Roger Lima was one of my earliest influences as a young, budding bassist. I still can’t play most of his lines, let alone figure them out. This album will always hold a special place in my heart...
Sick Lix: Chris Aiken (Velvet Alley)
I’ve always been a Strung Out fan, and that’s not just because they hail from the neighboring city (Simi Valley) next to my hometown of Moorpark, CA. The fast drums and Sick bass leads hav...
Sick Lix: Ed Breckenridge (To What End)
This was the song that initially turned me on to Thrice back when I was in high school. I recall my drummer picking me up for our gig that night and saying, “You’ve got to hear this band!&...
