Guilty Pleasure Basslines

Sign in to disble this ad
Yes I have a guilty pleasure song with amazing basslines. It's this song by Lloyd ft. Ashanti: YouTube - Southside Lloyd ft. Ashanti

When this bass kicks in at about a minute, each time it just sends waves of pleasure throughout my body. Check it out!

I like playing the lines for both, "Beat It" and "Billie Jean". Definitely a guilty pleasure for me. My mates always look at me funny when I break one of these songs out in between sets, etc.

It's all music. You are a musician, right? What is there to feel guilty about??

I never quite learned to play it right, but me and my drummer in my San Diego band always get a kick out of starting this in rehearsal. We've never made it halfway through the song.... But that's not the point! It's for the smile we bring to each other.

My guilty pleasure has to be Whipping Post by The Allman Brothers Band. That has got to be one of the best bass intros in rock music. London Calling is a close second.

Not too difficult if you're an intermediate or above, but I just love that jam!

quoting / playing in the style of jaco, is a guilty pleasure for me. i need to be carefull where i do it though, the jazz world as i know it is pretty split 50/50 between jaco and the electric bass in gennerall being hip and cool or dumb cheesey lame ext.

i need to pretend to agree with them all to keep my gigs steady.. but in james with friends, i cant resist sometimes..

+1. Maybe there is a better way to say it. We probably don't really feel guilty, maybe just a little sheepish because they don't fit the genre of our band, or the guys we are jamming with, etc.
I love the two songs I mentioned, but they don''t fit with my band mates' taste or the stuff we play live.
