Wait, THE OFFSPRING have KILLER bass lines?! Bass Teacher REACTS to "I Choose"

👉 FULL-ALBUM Reactions, Lessons & More:   / lowenduniversity   --------------------------------------------------- ➡️ I’ll be honest: I didn’t know The Offspring were considered a punk rock band—more like, “Oh yeah, that ’90s group that played at every skating rink.” But "I Choose" showed me a very different side of the band’s musicality. This song doesn’t just have a “good bass line”—it IS the bass line. In this video, I discuss exactly how the bass elevates the main guitar riff, the subtle use of chromaticism that gives it a classic Motown-esque bounce, how the bass line bridges funk with rock, and how the song’s chord choices sneak in moments of brightness and tension in just the right places. --------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Intro 1:02 Reaction / Analysis 12:33 Final Thoughts --------------------------------------------------- 📺 MORE PUNK REACTIONS: ▶️ RANCID:    • First Time Hearing RANCID! Bass Teacher RE...   ▶️ BLINK-182:    • Bass Teacher REACTS to BLINK-182 - "Mutt"   ▶️ GREEN DAY:    • Unreleased DOOKIE Song?! Bass Teacher REAC...   --------------------------------------------------- Mark Michell is an internationally-touring and recording bass player known for his work with Scale the Summit, Tony MacAlpine, Tetrafusion, Watermox, and more.
