| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Upstate, South Carolina | | | In all seriousness, I've found anything by Grateful Dead or Phish hard for me to learn. I think they go against my grain, plus they sound simple until you try to play them. Plus I think their basslines don't follow any sort of pattern or something, I don't know what it is.
I just know that I can play 10 Rush, Chili Peppers, or Primus songs for every one Phish or Dead song.

| | | | "What's Going On" I always compare my playing on that tune to Jamerson's and I always come up short (and suspect I always will).

| | | As a drummer of about 25 years, I always loved Maiden and the song Losfer Words. Now that I'm trying my hand at bass and found a great tab for it, I'm having a lot of fun playing this tune too and it's my #1 song to play after I spend some time rehearsing my scales.
I also just recently learned Jamiroquai's Cosmic Girl and Primus' Damn Blue Collared Tweakers and American Life. Fun stuff... Quote:
