First Time Hearing MILLENCOLIN! Bass Teacher REACTS to "No Cigar"

FULL-ALBUM Reactions, Lessons & More 👉 https://www.patreon.com/LowEndUniversity --------------------------------------------------- ➡️ The votes are in, and our Patreon community's top pick last month was "No Cigar" by Millencolin! I've long been hearing how much of a staple they are in the punk scene, and was quite surprised to learn that they're based out of Sweden! I discuss why the chord progression is a bit unique from a music-theory standpoint, the subtle arrangement moves that make the song flow so well, how the secondary guitar layers slightly darken the song's feel, and much more! I wished I had a little more to talk about from a bass perspective...but what's there not to love about a gritty, driving bass line in a punk song? --------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Intro 1:06 Reaction / Analysis 10:32 Final Thoughts --------------------------------------------------- 📺 MORE REACTIONS: ▶️ LAGWAGON: https://youtu.be/5SYTj0CC0QU ▶️ PENNYWISE: https://youtu.be/twSnfW2G8j0 ▶️ SATANIC SURFERS: https://youtu.be/pMfkZDGfGxQ --------------------------------------------------- Mark Michell is an internationally-touring and recording bass player known for his work with Scale the Summit, Tony MacAlpine, Tetrafusion, Watermox, and more.
