Can anyone help me out?? what are you asking for, suggestions for songs with suitable bass lines for you to learn? tell us what style of music you like and i'm sure people give you some good ones or do you mean you need help coming up with your own bass lines to your own songs?? thethunderthief 03-27-2007, 01:36 PM sorry for the confusion. I'm looking for good Songs to learn. Anything from classicrock to blackmetal, i listen to most of it WillPlay4Food 03-27-2007, 02:13 PM Maybe check out this thread (http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=319500) which is about 3 down from this one. :) uturnbass 03-27-2007, 05:29 PM I'd recommend songs like Money- Pink Floyd Brown Eyed Girl- Van Morrison Badge- Cream Another One Bites The Dust-Queen Sweet Emotion- Aerosmith Eat The Rich-Aerosmith there's this book I bought that had most of these songs on there. uturnbass 03-27-2007, 05:29 PM Rush- Freewill Rush- Vital Signs are also good... not too hard. If you're talking pretty difficult, you could go for YYZ by Rush. JimmyM 03-27-2007, 11:57 PM uturn, you wouldn't by any chance be a Rush fan, would you? IconBasser 03-28-2007, 12:19 AM try and learn some pantera. In some of those songs I've noticed some badass basslines. uturnbass 03-28-2007, 09:02 PM uturn, you wouldn't by any chance be a Rush fan, would you? Hahaha nah dude... I just like some of the basslines to a few songs, so I learned them myself. I'm not too crazy about Geddy's voice, but that dude can play bass. Plus the guy above recommended a thread that is talking about buying Rush albums. So I threw a few songs out there. (Back On Topic) uturnbass 03-28-2007, 09:08 PM There's also Dragon Attack- Queen Ramble On- Led Zep Hotel California- Eagles Dazed and Confused- Led Zep What's Goin' On- Marvin Gaye (James Jamerson, great bassist!) What's Happenin Brother (Another Jamerson) Livin On A Prayer- Bon Jovi You Give Love A Bad Name- Bon Jovi More Than A Feeling- Boston Those 3 are great songs! I learned those starting off, fun!) Soul To Take- RHCP Dani California- RHCP Snow- RHCP There's ALOT of songs out there dude, those are songs that I have learned, and are fun to play. Just find a song that attracts your attention bass-wise, and learn it! steve66 03-28-2007, 09:20 PM I suggest learning some Led Zeppelin. You can learn a lot from J.P.Jones. Also it may be a good idea to play some Motown |
