Your First Song

[Vagabond]

"Zombie" - The Cranberries

 

[Bongofour]

What was the first bassline you learned?

I think my answer will be common:
Black Sabbath - Iron Man

"Hey Joe" - Jimi

"Sweet Child Of Mine" GnR! I still love playing that. Everbody seems to know what it is even thought the guitar is not playing when I play it now. I play mostly country these days.

I stated earlier that it was some of my own bass lines, and all though that's true I actually remember now, that I learned a couple of bass lines by other artists not that much later.

A danish hippie band Steppeulvene- "Dunhammersaften", and Jefferson Airplane - "White Rabbit".

Played a lot of Cello suites at 1st, but the 1st song I played the whole way through was Teen Town by Weather report.
My teacher was huge jazz guy he worshiped the ground Jaco threw up on after a long night binging
Had me playing Miles, Burbeck, then end the lesson with the Clash or AC/DC didn't understand the plan then, I do now.
