I have been playing bass for 4 years and have hardly learned any full songs from start to finish.  Give me some manageable songs to learn, preferably in the funk/jazz/r&b genres. Give me some homework.

I don't like doing things unless they're "right" or perfect. It's not that I can't play. I just haven't really learned an entire song from start to finish. But let's not discuss this.

robert de leo of stone temple pilots is what i consider to be the epitome of traditional bass playing. sour girl is great. everything else is too.
our lady peace is like the canadian stp, but only their 2nd-4th albums. i think those are "clumsy," "happiness is not a fish...," and "spiritual machines." those are solid support basslines that i feel i really learned from.
i dont play like them at all now, but i think they are amazing learning tools. good blues rock tops the charts, no questions asked. |

I love stuff like above, because it's not just the same 2 or 4 bar phrase repeated for 64 bars....

| | | | If you want some easy first songs try
Island in the Sun by Weezer
Take it Easy by the Eagles
One Headlight by the Wallflowers
Cant Explain by the Who
not to hard from a technical standpoint so you can focus on learning the different parts and throwing them all together while still maintaining your time in between riffs |
