What to play for friends/girlfriends

[Macavitty]

I usually play sick and sad by streetlight manifesto to impress people. Ska bass awesome
Random bits of Orion people think is cool too

Hysteria works for me.

Buy an acoustic guitar for $99. Learn the chords D, A, Bm, G (in that order). That's at least 200 songs in your repertoire, and if you can sing, too (easy), you are a Lady Machine.
(Warning: language)
If you're too honorable, maybe drop something that EVERYONE knows, like Seven Nation Army, or any vocal track. Girls LOVE stringed instrument players.

EDIT: They love shreddin' slap riffs, too. ALSO, paired with vocals, the 4 chord things works on bass often.

J5- I want you back. She'll recognize it, she'll move, and she'll smile. What more do you need?

I just figured out the bass line for 'what is and never should be' or whatever that Led Zep song is called. its a pretty nice and recognizable line to drop...just wish i could do the vocals at the same time

"...and if i say to you tomorrowww.." is bout as far as i get XD

One of my all-time favorite basslines. Sure wish I could play it like JPJ...

I always do the bass line for Prince's Sexy MF. Works every time.
