Playing for friends/family

Sign in to disble this ad
So i mainly play blues and funk (mostly 70s Parliament style, EarthWindFire, even a bit of RHCP).

Anyhow, I've been trying to locate tunes/riffs that when my friends (buds or gf) or family come over, they always want to hear me play, solo (or with a drum machine/garageband). I've never considered myself a soloist as I prefer the 'in the pocket' bassist. Most of the basslines I know don't stand very well on their own and there's usually a good amount of repetition.

Any suggestions? I'm not looking for 4bar riffs (ala "Play the intro to 'My Girl'...")

The Lemon Song. (Or Killing Floor, the original.)

If you're really good, just improvise something in 12-bar blues form.
