what are you asking for, suggestions for songs with suitable bass lines for you to learn? tell us what style of music you like and i'm sure people give you some good ones

or do you mean you need help coming up with your own bass lines to your own songs??

[thethunderthief]

sorry for the confusion.
I'm looking for good Songs to learn.
Anything from classicrock to blackmetal, i listen to most of it

Maybe check out this thread which is about 3 down from this one.

I'd recommend songs like

Money- Pink Floyd
Brown Eyed Girl- Van Morrison
Badge- Cream
Another One Bites The Dust-Queen
Sweet Emotion- Aerosmith
Eat The Rich-Aerosmith


there's this book I bought that had most of these songs on there.

Rush- Freewill
Rush- Vital Signs
are also good... not too hard.

If you're talking pretty difficult,
you could go for YYZ by Rush.

uturn, you wouldn't by any chance be a Rush fan, would you?

[IconBasser]

try and learn some pantera. In some of those songs I've noticed some badass basslines.

Hahaha nah dude...
I just like some of the basslines to a few songs,
so I learned them myself.

I'm not too crazy about Geddy's voice,
but that dude can play bass.

Plus the guy above recommended a thread that is talking about buying Rush albums.
So I threw a few songs out there.

(Back On Topic)

There's also
Dragon Attack- Queen
Ramble On- Led Zep
Hotel California- Eagles
Dazed and Confused- Led Zep

What's Goin' On- Marvin Gaye (James Jamerson, great bassist!)
What's Happenin Brother (Another Jamerson)

Livin On A Prayer- Bon Jovi
You Give Love A Bad Name- Bon Jovi
More Than A Feeling- Boston
Those 3 are great songs! I learned those starting off, fun!)

Soul To Take- RHCP
Dani California- RHCP
Snow- RHCP

There's ALOT of songs out there dude,
those are songs that I have learned, and are fun to play.
Just find a song that attracts your attention bass-wise,
and learn it!

I suggest learning some Led Zeppelin. You can learn a lot from J.P.Jones. Also it may be a good idea to play some Motown
