Bass lines for teaching to students

[darrenmccarthy]

Hi There ,

My BG students respond really well to learning basslines , and they're starting to get good !

The latest and most challenging one they have learned is- Time Is Running Out by Muse

Other bass lines they love are ;
If You Want Me To Stay - Sly and the Family Stone
Gigantic - Pixies
This Monkey's Gone To Heaven - Pixies
Zombie - Cranberries

I would love to hear some others that you have tried with students !

I think there's a real challenge finding basslines that are both fun to play and not too hard or too easy. I will often start learning things that are too hard for me. The challenge advances my technique and understanding, but I never get "closure" by actually getting them down from beginning to end.
