Ahem

After many years of trying last night I nailed





Drum Roll





The Decline - NOFX


Yeah baby!!!

[Mcdrewson]

Sad to say, and I even enjoyed playing it..."you're the one that I want"

[bluesparky]

"Just Because" by Jane's Addiction - awesome guitar riff and song.
&
"Just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in" - the version by Reef - great band, wish they were still going..

[Monz]

Drive my car - Beatles

THAT BLOODY INTRO!!

Only three notes but it feels in the wrong place. Now Ive got it nailed it sounds fine but I can tell you it took some practice to get it right (thank heavens for phrase looping software)

[markytbass]

Scales and modes, I've been having a back to basics week. I know major and blues scales but have become a bit ignorant and just learnt songs from the record.

[quote name='Doc B' post='186243' date='Apr 27 2008, 12:37 AM']For the past few days I've been unable to get Joy Division's 'Digital' out of my head - hypnotic bass and vocals. I mentioned this to my wife and she suggested putting the song on when we got home - so I dug out my Joy Division Substance CD (the first CD I ever bought).

Next thing I picked up my new Squier VM 70s Jazz and worked out the bassline, closely followed the line for Transmission. Lovely![/quote]
Robert Cray Phone Booth great funky number

[Oscar South]

Learned 'Tink Walks Amok' by Zappa, ridiculous but great song, good time sig practice heh.

learnt that a while back

great bass line

[bobbass4k]

Tool - Schism

I just bought an xp-100 whammy, so i'm having a tool binge, tool aren't for everyone, but i love justin chancellors style, it's a challenge for me because i play with fingers as close to the neck as i can, i dont like playing near the bridge or using a pick, but he's got some great bass lines

[lowhand_mike]

working my way through extreme's get the funk out and It's a Monster. both nice lines. struggling with the solo on it's a monster. also pat plays with a pick and i havent used one in anger in a very long time.

rage has some great lines, Take the power back is actually pretty simple once you get your head round it and is great to play.
drop D, seen alot of people saying play it with a pick but most times i have seen it its slap and thats how it sounds best IMHO. found the muted notes in between the slap parts the tricky bit followed by the pull offs.

I just learned that for the Gunns a few weeks back. Good fun.

[beerdragon]

Fairy tale of New York by the Pogues. I'm a bit of a slow learner so its taking a bit of time. we are not putting it into the set untill xmas so there's no rush. what makes it a little harder is that the songs in D and we are doing it in C.

Slap IMHO as well, really, what muppet thinks that a pick sounds like slap, really. Timmy C is a great player, and I want his tone lol

[lowrentdiscographer]

"Stretchin' Out" by Bootsy, learned at the reccomendation of (and, I think, by way of a mini-assessment by) my tutor.

I had it sooo wrong first time round.

Also, The "Not-So-Long-Song" from CBBC tv show RazzleDazzle, and a fudgey version of Fraggle Rock.

Both kids' tv tunes are by ear so probably also wrong...

All right now - Free.

Nope its not massively fiddly or hard but its really satisfying to get it right all the way thru'.......

Took me ages to get the mute parts right bloody fun to play though.


I just learnt how to play Moving to New York by The Wombats, I would recommend it to anyone it's very satisfying to play
