Time for a BEER! Bass Teacher REACTS to Reel Big Fish & Matt Wong

BECOME A PATRON! 👉   / lowenduniversity   --------------------------------------------------- ➡️ What a picture-perfect track to break down with a delicious beer in my hand! "BEER" by Reel Big Fish has been a frequent request lately, and after seeing a single beer in my fridge this morning, I knew it was a sign. I've been falling in love with ska music lately, and bassists like Matt Wong are the reason why. You can't hear this song without smiling - it's simply infectious. While I think I've heard "Sell Out" by the band many years ago, hearing "Beer" for the first time instantly hooked me on Matt Wong's walking bass lines that never stop trucking along - until the groovy reggae breakdown! This jam is packed full of killer weekend vibes, and I discuss my philosophies (and some tips) on walking bass lines, why it's so effective in this particular song, why the chords used in the chorus make the song feel so "happy", and much more. Cheers, it's 5 o'clock somewhere! 😉🍻💥 --------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Intro 1:32 Reaction / Analysis 15:13 Final Thoughts --------------------------------------------------- 📺 WATCH MORE: ▶️ Reacting to STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO:    • I'm sold. First Time Hearing STREETLIGHT M...   ▶️ Reacting to RANCID:    • First Time Hearing RANCID! Bass Teacher RE...   ▶️ Reacting to NOFX:    • First Listen to NOFX “The Decline” | Bass ...   --------------------------------------------------- Mark Michell is an internationally-touring and recording bass player known for his work with Scale the Summit, Tony MacAlpine, Tetrafusion, Watermox, and more.
