FULLALBUM Reactions, Lessons & More   / lowenduniversity  

➡ Hearing Blink182 instantly transports me back to high school the second I hear their sound, but I've never heard much beyond their wellknown singles such as "Dammit", "I Miss You", or "All The Small Things". You guys have been requesting "Carousel", which I'm learning is one of the first songs the band ever wrote! Mark Hoppus kicks off the track with a beautiful chordal bass groove that establishes the song's melodic motif all the way until the very end. I discuss his smooth StingRay bass tone, why it's perfect for the song's bass line, why Blink182's guitar parts are much cooler than you think, how they never lose momentum in their song arrangements, a music theory discussion on the song's chord progression (including a bizarre change near the end), and much more!
