Reccommend me some "hard"-ish songs to learn

[H K]

Heya. Gone through a lot of material lately, looking for some new songs to learn.
The last two bands I "studied" were rush and vulfpeck, and I can play their stuff reasonably well.

Genre doesnt matter, but I do like it to be swingin'! Bonus points if it's a song that takes me more than a week to nail.

Give me some challenges!

This is a favorite of mine. I learned it many many years ago but never got tired of jamming to it.

This may not be hard-ish.
Call it hard-esque.

I picked up this book of Bach cello suites for bass on Amazon. It's in bass Tab. Tricky stuff but not impossible. Girls will be impressed if you can throw down of some of that stuff.

Or Stanley Clarke's School Days.

Loved the Dregs! And several of the songs on their early albums are great for Bass. Alembic too if I remember...

"and the beat goes on" by the whispers. one of my all-time favorite bass grooves. super funky, absurd pocket and enough variety in the groove to never get old. worth looking up leon sylvers, the producer and bassist, for more incredible grooves.

Never even heard of this band, I'm really surprised I havent! It's so awesome. Definitely learning these

Led Zeppelin and Boston are two of my favorite "challenge" groups.

This Manu Dibango tune kicks my butt.

Speaking of which, this is most impressive.
