Suggest some solos!

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey all,

In preparation for music school, ive decided to learn a new solo every week. Well, ive been doing this a few months now and i guess im starting to run out of solos that i feel that i can transcribe and learn well in a week, as well as keep me interested. So this is where TB comes in! I usually gravitate towards fusion and funk, like John Patitucci, Richard Bona, Jaco, Alain Caron, Yellow Jackets, etc. I'd like to find something that runs along the lines of these artists, but are playable by us mortals. The last transcription i did was of a song called "Sweet B" by a local band called Cique (bijoux barbossa on bass, hes a monster!! http://www.lala.com/#artist/Cique). I dont really care whether its a bass solo or not, i just find them to be easier to pick out. Ok guys, lets hear it!

Thanks a ton!

Have you considered any of the Chet Baker solos?

Maybe some Victor Wooten, dont forget about Jamerson or Flea, P-Nut has some good solos and lines. What kind of skills are you trying to exhibit or workimg on?

My favorite solo is in Jean Luc Ponty's song called "Egocentric Molecules" off of the Cosmic Messenger album. The bass solo is friggin amazing. Seriously, just listening to it made me a better player. Check it out (not sure if this recording will play it. The bass solo is about 1/2 way through the song)
