All The Small Things - Blink 182 - Beginner Song/Melody (Patreon)

Today's lesson is the 1999 song from pop punk powerhouse Blink 182. The music video pokes fun at all the boy bands having success at that time by making parodies of their popular videos, 98 Degrees, N'Sync, Backstreet Boys... and I think that is it? The song is only 3 chords with a fun intro so it can be an easy beginner song. To make the tutorial complete I went ahead and taught the melody as well so you can know exactly how to sing it as the song is way out of my vocal range and very hard for me to sing I wanted you to know the exact melody so hopefully you could sing it better. When I was jamming it around the house to get ready for this video I was singing it a full octave below what the band is singing. They are also playing the song with power chords and using all down strokes, which if you want to get closer to the original you can absolutely do, but I don't think it sounds that great to do so when you are playing an acoustic cover so I played it with the full harmony and a down up strum pattern, ultimately it is up to you!
Trying something new, there are two uploads, the first is the usual PDF file that is the full breakdown and the second is just the lyrics, one two pages, making it easier to sing.
