I Miss You

"I Miss You" by blink-182 is the second single from their 2003 self-titled album, released through Geffen Records in February 2004. Unlike the band's typical punk-pop sound, the track is built on acoustic instrumentation, including stand-up bass, cello, and piano, giving it a gothic, atmospheric character inspired by The Cure. For electric guitarists, learning the song offers insight into how Tom DeLonge uses restrained, mood-driven guitar work to support a layered arrangement rather than lead it.

  • Tom DeLonge co-wrote the track alongside bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker.
  • The gothic atmosphere was directly inspired by The Cure, an unusual influence for a blink-182 release.
  • The song runs just over 3 minutes and 47 seconds, making it one of the longer tracks on the self-titled album.
Fender Stratocaster
Guitar

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
Guitar

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
Amp

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.
