Demonstration Speech Bass!

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey, I have to do a demonstration speech for school and what better thing to demonstrate than bass? So as I was thinking, I decided I would need some sort of song to play. I have been playing about three years, so I can't play anything crazy. I'm open to basically any style (except screamo stuff) so just say anything that comes to mind. Thanks so much.

lots of bass lines from 60's era motown music are easy to recognize ... and fairly simple to play

If you have a friend that plays guitar, perhaps you could have him play something solo to show how lame solo guitar sounds, then add in the bass so everybody sees the fatness, drive and funk that the bass contributes.
