Then again, I could slap acceptably before I could play a major scale.  |

|  | pouring the cement for the foundation | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Atlanta | | | ok well when if first started playing bass, i was going through a nirvana phase, so all i learned was nirvana songs, then after that i went through a RATM/Audioslave phase, and i learned a bunch of RATM and the whole first Audioslave album. I then discovered more bands and learned many songs. My phase now is Queens of the Stone Age. |

One of the first songs I learned. I find it quite easy but to get the phrasing down how Jaco plays it is tricky.
Some other songs I learned were some basic stuff like Paranoid by Black Sabbath and stuff like that |

Sweet Child 'O Mine - First real cool song I learned. It is a heavy song but has a very fun funky flowing rythym.
Lately, Interstate Love song by Stone Temple Pilots is the coolest and most fun to play song I currently play at gigs. I just love the chorus progression.

Early Kiss was probably the first stuff I could actually play. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Austin, Texas | | Not the first song(s) I learned to play, but the first "cool" songs were any number of Rush and Black Sabbath. That is all my first band ever chose to play. So I will put it at "La Villa Strangiato" (sans solo) and War Pigs.

All classic tunes, imo. |

Kickass, guitar,bass, and drums tune.
Especially when you have a couple friends to play it with.
Its a nice song to play in between songs at a gig.
