what do u think is the hardest song to play on bass

John Cage's 4:22. I never know when to come in.

 

4:22 is a tough one for me too.. Get's me every time...

Follow the cue's from the trumpets

 

Song to play?

Phantom Lord by Metallica. Hands down.

He hits 16ths at 175 at a certain part in the song.

And when the guitars play:

G|-----------------------------------------
D|--------------5---------------------7---
A|--5-7--5-7----7--5-7--5-7-5-7----7
E|------------------------------------------

Cliff does:

G|------------------------------------------
D|------------------------------------------
A|---------10--------------12/14--------
E|--0-12------12--0-12----------12/10

Kills me every time

 

I'll beat Jazzbo to it... "Kiss" by Prince.

 

the hardest song to play on bass is probably something written for another instrument.

 

Most of Bach's cello suites are more challenging than that.

 

...anything!

 

"One Note Samba"

 

This one...




|---0------------8------------|
|----------7--------6-----7-5-|
|------5-----6--------0-0-----|
|-0--------------7--------5-7-|




Doesn't look that hard... but it is played at 3405 BPM.

 

only 3405??? childs play.

 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah..................now i'll be silent.

 

For me it's "Some Skunk Funk" by the Brecker Brothers.
It took me almost a year to get it right.

 

oooohhhh all of a sudden Mr. "I can play Classical Thump" thinks he's a bad ass.

 

Are you refering to 4'33"? I haven't heard 4:22, and like everyone else I haven't heard 4'33" either.

 

Teen Town by Weather Report. Im sure loads of you can play it, but I cant

 

Yeah I can play Classical thump...I can also make a mean tuna sa'mitch

 

And who is this done by? And at 3405 BPM!! Isnt that like impossible?

 

No, it's not impossible.

I can do it. What, you mean you can't do it?

 

You've never heard, "Funky Sandwich" by Stinky and The Stinktones?!?! You've never lived sir!
