Recommend me some songs where two-handed tapping is applicable

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm looking for some relatively simple songs to practice my two-handed tapping. It doesn't necessarily have to be a tune played on a bass using two-handed tapping, I just want some songs with a distinct bass line and a relatively simple melody played over it. I'm thinking there has to be quite a lot of tunes written for piano that falls into this category.
I know this sounds pretty vague, but hopefully you get the idea.

Thanks in advance!

I've been playing some simple country to get used to the two-handed stuff e.g. Blue moon of Kentucky(ricky scaggs). On stu hamms video he does an ellington tune which is easy enough. Ive also tried satin doll as the melody is very easy to tap with the right hand.

Primus - Hello Skinny

it's just a straight forward play the bass part with your left hand and the guitar part with the right hand

Actually, Blue Moon of Kentucky is a Bill Monroe & the Bluegrass Boys tune.

There is one section Tony Choy does two handed tapping... it's not that difficult either, if you're trying to learn two handed tapping.

True; but Scaggs does a great version with John Fogarty (CCR) doing the singing.
