excellent lesson! i'm struggling a bit with the down up muted "chugging." i'm finding it hard to do it consistentatly on the upstroke. i think it might be to do with my pick angle or maybe just not digging in hard enough? any tips? or are there any lessons which break it down a bit more? thanks ivan

Dennizzz11912th March 2010Lovely! Just bought subscription and found immediately a lesson about my favorite band
Marvelous!- Ivan Milenkovic29th November 2008
Yes I know what you mean, Smash and Ixnay were the best IMO, as some songs from Americana are as well, but the rest is just not-as-good to say at least
Nighthawk128th November 2008...and thanks you didn't make an "in style of offspring's last 2 albums" lesson
If you know what I mean...- Ivan Milenkovic27th November 2008
Hmm, thanks for the input guys, I will see what I can do!
berko27th November 2008Rocking lesson, Ivan! This punk style was definitely worth it after the blues!
On your question: the audio track does start a little bit earlier... so it's a bit out of sync for me.
Toni Suominen27th November 2008Great riffing Ivan!
AlexLion27th November 2008Video and audio quality is fine, didn`t noticed your question..

Hey guys, welcome to my new lesson, this time we are doing Offspring style power chord riffs. :)
As you all know, Offspring made a major breakthrough in Californian Punk scene with a couple of their very successful albums. Among those albums one is loaded with energy and great songs and that is "Smash". This lesson is inspired by that album.
Fast and catchy riffs, melodic power chord progressions, and lots of palm muting in between, characteristic to punk. Enjoy. :)
