| | | | Best rock basslines of all time
Sign in to disble this ad
Hi
I'm looking for new stuff to learn and was wondering if people could recommend some cool basslines to learn. I mainly like rock but any others are fine too. I've been playing for a couple of years but want to learn some classic lines for inspiration.
Thanks in advance |

That always ended in them throwing away their GnR records and diving into funkier things!

version uses synth.

Geezer is of course a good place to learn from. They are very different bass players but once you kind of "decode" the way they approach bass lines you will start to be able to play their stuff much easier and have a couple of apporaches to writing your own lines for this type of music. Rush is good too, but with them the devil is in the details. A lot of Geddy's parts are not terribly challenging initially, but its the presentation that makes or breaks it.
