    I promised my girlfriend that i would write her a love song on my bass(no vocals though:cool: ) and now she is wanting to hear it, the problem is i havent even started. I can write bass lines butt i cannot write pretty songs that girls would love, if anyone could please give me something that they made up so i can quikly learn it and make her happy, i would be in yur debt, and could you please make sure it isn't a song by a band so i can tell her its orginal, also make it short and easy learn. thanks

    So, you want one of us to give you a song that we likely wrote for our girlfriend, so you can play it for your girlfriend and reap the rewards? :eek:

    Play "Possum Kingdom" by The Toadies for her, she'll love ya for it. :D :D

  5. try and jazz up the kinks "all day and all of the night" the lyrics are actually quite romantic. if not than just make something up from simple chords and what not.

    heres an idea, why dont you try telling her the truth, and say sorry, but i didnt write one yet, or just tell her your still working on it. But goodness man dont pass someone elses music off as your own!!

    To get started listen to alot of different ballads, anything slow and sultry is usually good. This will help solidify them in your mind.

    Then sit down with your bass and start playing stuff that comes to mind, use whatever sounds good to you as your starting point. Then expand off of that.

    ps: it also helps out a bit if you can tap out a beat or come up with some sort of drumline/melody in your head. this usually works for me

    I hope you're referring to scatting as a Jazz idiom, not the "other" meaning...without your trou, I’m not sure.

    we gotta work on your spelling mate,

    But- (alternative) the opposite to what is expected.

    Butt- one's beyond, or better yet the thing you sit on (and I dont mean your chair).

    If JT doesn't stop posting these beautiful pictures, we will all throw away our inferior basses and spend our lives in pursuit of greater glory. Or we could just rob his shop. THen, of course, we'd have to mess with the guy who plays a double-neck 14 string.
