All The Small Things


"All The Small Things" by blink-182 is a pop-punk track released in September 1999 as the second single from the album Enema of the State. Written primarily by guitarist Tom DeLonge as an ode to his girlfriend, the song is built on bright, three-chord progressions and a memorable "na na na" hook. Its deliberately simple, radio-ready structure makes it an excellent entry point for electric guitarists looking to build clean chord transitions and explore melodic minimalism.

  • Tom DeLonge drew inspiration from the Ramones, aiming for direct melodic minimalism, a great reminder that simplicity drives impact.
  • The song runs just under three minutes, making it a tight, focused study in efficient pop-punk songwriting and arrangement.
  • Produced by Jerry Finn, the track's polished tone highlights how clean, three-chord rhythm guitar can anchor a radio-ready sound.

Fender Stratocaster

The most iconic electric guitar ever made. Its three single-coil pickups, contoured body and versatile tone make it the go-to for blues, rock, funk and everything in between. Players from Hendrix to Gilmour to Clapton built their sound on it.

Fender Jazzmaster

Originally designed for jazz, the Jazzmaster became the guitar of indie rock and alternative. Its floating tremolo, rhythm/lead circuit and soapbar pickups deliver a distinctive, warm and slightly noisy tone that defines shoegaze and alternative sounds.

Fender Twin Reverb

The gold standard for clean tone. The Twin Reverb's 85 watts of headroom, brilliant spring reverb and crystal-clear sound make it the preferred amp for country, blues and clean rock. It stays clean louder than almost anything else.
