It's so good when you get a Rush song really down. I am not so much there with that song lol.

RUSH is good for you. |

"Dance of Eternity" is the most difficult of them all - and I LOVE IT!

If Stevie Wonder or some boring bass like that is the most complex thing you play, I feel bad for your unused fingers. I've already been through about 20 jazz/motown records and the most complex thing I played out of that was the original line to Cotrane's Mr. PC. |

I'd say that since I'm in a Tom Petty tribute band these days, the most complex lines I'd play at a gig is either The Waiting or Even The Losers.

Me, I have no interest in playing or listening to complex bass lines.

| I think many younger tbers don't really understand music and artists before their time.
He probably means the bass lines are boring to him.
Just like I don't understand "grind core noise blamo" . Did I get that right?

as for me, some of the Monsterworks stuff is pretty fiddly. also we tend to record pretty fast so i often forget exactly what i played on the recordings :/

The bass line probably will be tweaked slightly but its a one minute long pretty intense experience. A few oddly timed sections and a really fast riff consisting of 34346545 (x4) on the A string, though I will probably see how it feels on the E string next time.

I get through Rio fine but I don't do much of the ghosting... I'm not nearly skilled enough yet.
The Tears for Fears tune is good for a couple flubs pretty much every time I play it, especially during the second verse because I sing the "nothing ever changes when you're acting your age" part.
