Although im guesing you didnt learn the bass part, you just played the guitar part on bass? Isnt the memorable part of that song only played on guitar, and the bass is like one note repeated a lot, a G i think.

actually, it starts with a long series of quarter notes, but has a nice little groove to it. Deep purple had an incredible bass player, although his name, escapes me, at the moment.

 

[gottawalk]

Bass: unnamed "Sears Special"
Song: +1 for "Day Tripper", then everything from The Beatles, The Dave Clarke 5, Paul Revere and the Raiders...

Couldn't get enough of playing along with my brother's records and then radio covers in the '60s through now.

Great for "ear-training".

 

[embellisher]

First bass was an early 70's Memphis P bass copy.

First bass line? Well, before I ever tried to learn any bass lines, I wrote my own bass parts for hymns at my Dad's church for 2 or 3 years.

First bass player that I ever got into was Geddy Lee, and the first bass line that I ever attempted to learn was Tom Sawyer.
