My Favorite Things.

I picked up the new Christian McBride Trio album which contains an amazing version of this song. Very inspiring.

 

[JaminDyer]

Just about to record Day Tripper, a long time favourite of mine

 

[Systolic]

Currently working on:

Do I Do - Stevie Wonder

Redneck - Lamb Of God

 

[RxFunk]

Working on Jumper by Third Eye Blind...but on guitar, though, it has a pretty tough strum pattern.

 

[MovingPitchers]

YYZ by Rush. Damn those triplets are tricky and those little riffs he does for those mini breaks are tricky.

TRYING to possibly consider maybe consider and maybe think about maybe possibly getting a five string to learn some Dream Theater stuff, but maybe.

as for guitar, Where the Streets Have No Name is a must-learn song...

Learned a woman's gotta have it last week. Love that song. Our band is working on some Isley bros stuff now (who's that lady, between the sheets) now

 

[MazingerZ]

Rain dance maggie

 

[quiltkitty]

Polishing up Hook by Blues Traveler, Under The Bridge by RHCP, and Santeria by Sublime for my band. Need to get back to Evenflow by Pearl Jam too.

 

[R&B]

Midnight Train to Georgia - found a note-for-note transcription on bobbabbitt.com. (RIP to a truly great bassist.) Kicking my butt, in a good way.

The Walk by Mayer Hawthorne - by ear. Funky bassline, naughty lyrics though. :scowl:

Soul Man and Nowhere to Run - from the R&B Bass Bible.

The Weight - from Songsterr, unfortunately it's tab only.

And a whole bunch o' blues tunes for my new band's repertoire.

Generator by for fighters
Most will find this song easy but I'm trying to learn more then just tabluture now. Reading notes (was able to do back in grade school darn double bass)
The licks in this song have also got me interested in learning scales. I learned the major scales today (same shape all around which is nice) and applying them on a single string.
The licks/fills in this song sound cool to me. And Nate Mendel is the kind of bass player I strive to be.

 

[MisterEd]

Ain't no Sunshine... Bill Withers (good for beginners)

 

[Milk]

That brings me to wonder what's the last song i bothered to learn.

I think it might be This Charming Man by The Smiths and that was already maybe 3 years ago.

Oh well i guess I did sorta adapt Chvrches' Lies to bass kinda recently.

 

[bdh2991]

Joy to the world with bassist sharray Reed, he absolutely kills it but it's gonna take a good while for me to get this songs even close to good lol

 

[Bdi89]

Everything on Rocksmith
As well as some Black Sabbath, a fair bit of Reverend Bizzarre and Cathedral, some Porcupine Tree and some Megadeth. Trying to do them all fingerstyle, but if I get stuck I sometimes use the pick and then go back. Old habits die hard...
