What's Your Stairway To Heaven "lick"

[Mudfuzz]

in honor of the "What's On Your "No Stairway To Heaven" Sign? thread.

What are you fave songs and licks you play when you try out a
instrument. And have you ever been asked to stop playing it.

Mine are: Green Onions, I cant turn you loose and Children of the grave.
No one has ever told me to stop as of yet

No pun intended!

I play a slap exercise or 2 that my teacher taught me, the bass solo to Freewill, Au Privave, It's a Shame, maybe Moby Dick or something, and, of course, Autumn Moon!

Ah! Freewill! I've always played that while looking around. I used to play a lot more Rush, but I started to geti into jazz.. I was at GC the other day and see this guy playing a medley of Rush licks.. We chat, but he was way too much of a Rush-geek for me (I'm a major Rush geek, which means this guy was "I'll worship geddy's fingernail clippings"-esk sad.)

Pink Floyd - Money
Primus - The Toys Go Winding Down
Incubus - Battlestar Scralatchtica

[Eyescream]

Whenever I'm just goofing off on a bass, or looking at one in a store, I always play bits of the following songs:

Bob
Fish On
Fisticuffs
Groundhog's Day
Diab Soule (Acid Bath song)

[Caeros]

Chameleon is a big one for me. I just love sitting in that groove for a long time. Vital Signs by Rush is another one, then I do a lot of my own original stuff to see how my style suits the instrument.

[Adam Barkley]

The latest riff I have recently learned usually, but I always play parts of these songs.

Buena - Morphine
Simple Man - Lyndyrd Skynrd
London Calling - The Clash
The intro to Jason's Bass Doodle from Mexico City
Licks that I have created containing everything from slaping to tapping to picking to chords.

Morphine makes me sublimely happy to listen to. Excellent choice.

[fatbassjazzer]

Mine would be Come On Come Over and a bunch of slap stuff I've written

[Matt Till]

Many a Primus song
Schism or 46 & 2 by Tool
My Friend Misery by Metallica

these are rare. I usually make stuff up.

[The Golden Boy]

Hey Joe.

[Matthew Bryson]

I don't really have any 'show off' type licks that I play, but I do play the main riff to Pink Floyd's Money a lot of times when I first pick up a bass - just to check the tuning. It uses all 4 strings in the first bar and it's a tune that is so deeply ingrained in my head that I can hear if each string is in tune after playing just a bar or two.

[Reverend G-Money]

i'd have to say the line from "Ramble On" by zep... lets me feel the bass a bit more than say slapping a line or using a pick...
