➡️ I don’t ever think I’ve seen a bass played like this - especially a Rickenbacker! Today’s episode was a patron pick for “The Lung” by Dinosaur Jr. shot live at KEXP, and my ears are definitely ringing from the massive wash of overdriven riffs gelled together by bassist Lou Barlow and frontman J Mascis. As the song progressed, I loved peeling back the layers to unearth the nuances in their “co-op” riff style, where it’s almost like two guitarists playing the same riff with slight variations. I discuss Lou’s unorthodox “strumming” approach (strumming as high as fret 7), how he often keeps the bass lines on one string for a consistent tone, how capable he is of filling out the composition when the guitar drops out, and how his entire approach taps into a visceral experience while pummeling through a disarray of washy riffs. Truly interesting stuff - haven’t heard anything quite like it! ????‍????????????
