What's the last bassline you learned?

[waynepunkdude]

Superstition - Stevie Wonder

FUNKY

[Clarky]

Magnificent Seven - Clash

also funky!

[redzombie]

Guns n' Roses - You Could Be Mine.

Not exactly learnt, more like never played it before, but have been listening to the song for years so I just picked it up on the fly. Sort of like confirming what I'd usually have going on in my head when listening to it.

Play that funky music - Wild Cherry

Damn! I wish I had the funk

[BassMunkee]

Isolation - Joy Division.

[AdamWoodBass]

Teen Town, got it to a decent standard yesterday, just trying to build up speed in the solo at the end. 2 years of working on it, getting bored and frustrated with it and picking it up again a few days later. Worked it all out by ear though which I'm pretty chuffed about, didn't want to use a tab and couldn't find the sheet music.

Sweet child of mine 100% now.

Halfway through Dupree's Paradise (Zappa), sounding pretty good so far. But I'll never learn Scott Thunes' weird improvisation part, it's so random.

Ok, my band has decided to do Get On Your Boots by U2 so that's the latest one I've done. I've also been learning a lot of Rammstein songs for the Tribute band I'm in. Going to tackle Seeman next. Very melodic bass line in that one.

[waynepunkdude]

Stand by me, nice and easy.

[Scoop]

In order to do a depping gig on Saturday I had to learn Whitesnake's Blindman and Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green Era)'s Need Your Love So Bad, neither of which I'd ever touched before.

Also been working, purely for fun, on Tom Petty's American Girl and Pink Floyd's Dogs.

Had to work out Billy Jean the other night after hearing half of it on the radio on the way to a gig (in another bands tour bus....bling bling...well festival machine nonetheless...very cool though)-anyhow we didn't play it in the end!

[Balcro]

Signed, sealed, delivered, - Stevie Wonder. It's taken weeks. I now need to get the hips and knees in with the groove.

Before that "Sweet Home Alabama". Much easier, but they've both brought a smile to my face.
