Exclamation Give Me a Song Recommendation!

Sign in to disble this ad
So - I'm taking lessons again! The teacher I'm going back to always has me play a song for him that I feel is my best display of talent, and then goes from there. Problem is, I don't know many songs, because I mostly jam and improvise with my friends. So please recommend me a bassline to learn, it should be relatively difficult because I want a good challenge, just no tapping or other advanced techniques, because I'm not that good at them (slap songs are fine). Thanks!

Freewill by Rush is a good tune... YYZ is a bit more advanced...
