Hii...I am searching for songs composed on bass guitar only and maybe drums (e.g Pea by Red Hot Chilli Peppers).....do u guys know any such songs? |

| | | | you can try soul to squeeze by rhcp, theres guitar in it but the bass plays the main groove and melody
also 'don't forget me' and 'cmon girl' by rhcp, other than the guitar solo the bass plays the main rhythm/melody
also the 'stand by you' song forgot it was done by who. it was a classic of some sort |

The song "Celebrate" by Fields of the Nephilim only has a bit of guitars during one break in the vocals.
Songs not composed for bass and voice that will also work well include lots of bossa novas and jazz standards. Try "The girl from Ipanema", "Desafinado", "Autumn leaves", "Besame mucho" etc.

Stand By Me - Ben E. King
Great song that the bass carries.
You could also try Sunshine of Your Love by Cream. The guitar echoes the bass line but since the drum part is so involved the bass and drums can carry the song fine without the guitar.

They're kinda wierd... | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
