I forgot to ask in my last post if anybody knew of some great songs I should learn. I'm not really into that whole 5-5-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-6 bull. I like things more. Nothing too complicated but a bit more than this. Maybe a semi-easy riff from Flea? His always sound more like it's own thing rather than just a bass keeping a beat. I hate that stupid beat thing in bands. Thay shouldn't do that. That's why a lot of bass players don't have much respect. It all looks talentless. Anybody can do it. But back to my question. I'd really apprieciate some suggestions. Heres a hint at the kinda stuff I like, Pink Floyd, Janis, Led Zepplin, old black sabbath, Red Hot..., Midnight Oil, Nirvana, Pearl Jam...etc.

I've looked at some and there too complicated. I was asking if anybody could tell me some semi-easy somgs to learn in the same kind of ganre of those artists. I didn't want someone telling me to learn some song by, say, Blink , that I don't like. But good answer. I would have said the same.

Only 3 notes, but timing is everything
Black Sabbath - Iron Man
Golden Earring - Radar Love
A bit more complicated, I felt like I played a real song when I did this one.
U2 - Just about any song but definitely anything off of Achtung Baby |

also rage against the machines first album has some cool stuff.

Seriously though, how about the intro to The Trees by Rush, that is what I played when I felt in a rut because it wasn't too hard but not really simple either so it restored my confidence. I think I'll make a movie out of that, I'll call it How James Got His Groove Back. Ok, that was really lame, but give the song a try  . |

Have fun,
