How to Peter Hook in 1 Minute

Desmond Doom shows you how to play like Peter Hook (Joy Division, New Order, Peter Hook And The Light) in 1 minute!

Huge love and respect to @PeterHookAndTheLight I've loved your music since I was a lad.

Go buy his music and learn every song to become a bass beast!

Peter Hook is a bassist who shined like a lead guitarist with his menorable bass melodies. Such a unique musician with a distinct and original sound.
Fun fact: According to Peter Hook, he began to play high up the fret of his bass guitar in the early days (not due to stylistic choice) but simply because he had crap equipment, and he wouldn't have been heard otherwise. He also mentioned that Ian Curtis liked the sound of it.

Coolest bassist ever managed to make fairly simple stuff sound awesome better than anyone else

Peter Hook was the one who made me look twice at a bass guitar.

[RegebroRepairs]

After he left New Order, all their songs lack a hook. I mean, the irony.

My favorite bass player by far. Seen him on his most recent tours where he's played a couple New Order or JD albums in full. His singing has improved. When he played New Dawn Fades live I got the chills.

[Blastdoinks]

Love these "How to's" so much! The inclusion of tabs this time is much appreciated!

[amiro]

As brilliant as the joy division bass lines were, he almost reinvented himself in new order, all the same legendary. Keep up the great videos!

Hook builds such beautiful melodies. There's a haunting little riff he does at the end of New Order's "Fine Time" that could have had a whole song built around it and he just throws it into the fade out.

What's your favourite Hooky bassline?
I'm releasing a song next weekend, keep an eye out!

[mateus_k]

peter hook made some of the most memorable melodies i've ever heard. Even beign a guitarist i am inspired by his playing to write my melodies.

Your musical analysis is pure gold! Keep uploading more inspiring videos

[sylvandelacruz]

Peter Hook is still being his most absolute beast ever, relentlessly touring and playing those marathon sets with no signs of slowing downs. He's one of the very best and an incredible inspiration.

Funny you did Peter Hook.
I have been re-living my New Order days recently. Power, Corruption Lies has been on repeat.
Hope you are well.
Much ❤ and admiration

The first song I ever played on a bass was transmission, matter of fact is one of my favorites JD songs, its so minimalist.

[poncccceolymusica]

Very well put together!!

He's a personal hero, definitely appreciate hearing thoughts on his style.

An-mhaith!

[albertobloch]

I started playing bass because of him! Iconic and powerful sound!!

[jma]

All these "fake" Hook basslines are very compelling! Love it! Peter Hook, a bass player with truly his own sound and style.

[Cautionary_Tale_Harris]

Just wanted to say I enjoy these videos.

I went to college in 1995. There was an English lady in my drama class who was in her fifties. She saw Joy Division in 79 and Bauhaus around the same time.

I'm not a big post punk fan, but one thing thing I appreciate the most ia how bass is feature there, a leading instrument almost. In my favourite metal bands it can be inaudible let alone being featured.
