What's My Age Again


"What's My Age Again?" by blink-182 is a mid-tempo pop-punk track released in April 1999 as the lead single from their third studio album, Enema of the State, on MCA Records. Written primarily by bassist Mark Hoppus with guitarist Tom DeLonge, the song is best known for its distinctive arpeggiated guitar intro, making it a rewarding piece for electric guitarists to study. It is an accessible entry point into pop-punk guitar technique, combining clean picking patterns with straightforward chord-driven verses.

  • The iconic arpeggiated guitar intro is one of the most recognizable riffs in pop-punk and a great exercise in clean single-note picking.
  • Writing credits are shared between Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus, though Hoppus was the song's primary composer.
  • At just under two and a half minutes, the song is concise and structured, ideal for guitarists learning efficient pop-punk song arrangements.

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.

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.

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.
