chaypup Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Aloe Blacc - I Need a Dollar Only took about 20 seconds to learn but while watching the Jools Holland performance on youtube, I saw that he was using my favourite band as his backing band!

LiamPodmore Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 A Day To Remember - All I Want. I'm torn between playing it on my 4 string in Drop C or my 5 in Standard, it sounds so good on both. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 [quote name='Ou7shined' post='1217106' date='May 2 2011, 01:04 AM']Fantastic. Nice sing along chorus eh. The quiet bit near the end's a peach, won't be easy doing it live but you have to bring it down for the finale. Are going for the full intro or just straight in?[/quote] Full intro with banjo.

Chris2112 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Porbably the bassline to 'Candy Floss' by BBP. I always listen to this tune on nightshift. I park up on the Coast Road roundabout in near Newcastle city centre and watch the traffic flit past underneath me whilst I listen to this. Always keeping my eyes open for vehicles of interest!

Three songs in three days must be a record for me [/quote] I did that one a couple of weeks ago also inspired by BC. Whilst also learning My Sharona. Has a small RSI problem afterwards!

waynepunkdude Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 [quote name='Johnston' post='1220997' date='May 5 2011, 01:22 PM']Just managed Bright lights bigger city by Cee Lo Green (A BC video inspired that) And Billie jean until the hands locked up. Three songs in three days must be a record for me [/quote] If you did BLBC and Billie Jean then you did one song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently August Darnell who is Kid Creole played all the basslines. Sounds like a P with flats on it. Totally nailed it with my Fernandes fretless with Roto flats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaypup Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Houseguests - What so never the dance. Right now it's my favourite bassline I'm off to post this in the funk & groove section! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggery Bandana Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Just polishing off Van Halen "Feel your love tonight" for one band and for the other band Alcatrazz "Island In The Sun" Vandenberg "Burning Heart" Talisman "Ill be Waiting" - That Marcel Jacobs was some player (Very Billy Sheehan-esque which is the highest praise i can give him!)

Billy Apple Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Stargazer, Rainbow. I've got all the notes now, just getting up to speed on the run at the back end of the intro. Kill the King is on the back burner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Just finished learning Sir Duke last night. I'd been wanting to learn it for ages & never got time, but a day off with not much else to do other than lay tiles in bathroom. In between that I've been learning I Wish (also by Stevie Wonder) & just need to run over it as I've learned the 2 main parts. Good fun songs, but I'm now sick of hearing them!

Anvil Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ha0wr7e6pQ"]Stone Temple Pirates[/url] An easy bass line (for you lot), but quite tricky for a beginner like me. The song really rocks though - well worth a view if grunge/rock is your bag - or even just for the stage presence?

Monckyman Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Patrice Rushen-Forget me nots. Freddie Washington bassline. Not a massive memory task, but needs loads of feel and understatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 At the moment I am going from extremes. 'Paranoid' Black Sabbath, which took about 1 min to actually learn, having listened to it all my life. And 'Into The Arena' by Michael Schenker Group which I am still working on. It seems to me to be the bass playing equivalent of a tongue twister.
