Hey folks,
My low-frequency musical journey is progressing rather nicely, and of the few songs i've learned, i've noticed that some are much more 'satisfying' to play than others - examples are Maroon 5's 'This Love' and 'Harder to Breathe', or Pink Floyd's 'Money'.
Does anybody else have any nice and chunky basslines that they just love to play? Perhaps some of the Dream Theater stuff? I mention DT only because i'd love to play some of Myung's licks, but i'm afraid my fingers would fall off!
I'd be interested to hear your opinions.
~Loki
PS. Did I put this in the right section? I wasn't sure if it should've gone into 'Technique' instead. |

And when I can nail it, "Anthem" is pretty cool too. I'm just slightly crazy about Rush. Oh! "Josie" by Steely Dan is fantasmic too.

The groove is real hypnotic, and the outro is such a nice release. |
