neepheid Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 "Made Up My Mind" by Savoy Brown. I don't normally play with a pick, so this one's taking some serious practice. Getting there though. Jammed it with a mate last week and he said that it was coming along nicely. It remains a struggle to maintain the rhythm though. More practice!

pockethammer Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Ramble On : Led Zep I just like the feel of this tune, it's one I've been meaning to learn for years. Finally got round to it the other night while learning another tune for the band. Doubt if it'll ever be played live tho, we probably do enuff Zep already.( Can you do too much Zep? hmmmmmm!)

Was inspired to after having seen JPJ with the foos last sat. In his own, understated way, JPJ is actually quite difficult to imitate (well for me anyway, I've only been playing 2 1/2 years self-taught).

The Funk Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I sat down and worked out [i]Heart's Desire[/i] by Don Blackman a couple of days ago. My ear's not great so I had to use Audacity. 7 notes in the first second made it very difficult to loop with iTunes. Once I slowed it down on Audacity I realised it wasn't actually that complicated.

obi 2 kenobi Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Don Blackman ! Got it on vinyl. Great basslines throughout. Last ones I did were Slave 'Just a touch of love', Starvue 'Body Fusion', Hart to Hart theme, Chuck Brown 'Bustin' loose' & 'Gotcha Now' and Curtis Mayfield 'You're so good to me' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPBass Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Im in the process of learning most of Bryan Adams' back catalogue. Ive just joined an established tribute act. Forgot how good a song writer ol Bryan is. Top tunes, the basslines are cool enough, John Paul Jones it aint but it'll do for now!!

Myself, spookily I've been re-learning a bunch of RATM tracks too after going to see a Rage trib-act last weekend. But the honest answer to the question is not as cool -> the last song I learned was Seventeen by Ladytron (the Soulwax remix) not so much learn it as listen to it once then play it. I'm considering offering it up as cover for an up n coming gig. I reckon it might be a good surprise done as a balls out heavy cover.

waynepunkdude Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 RATM is always fun to play though i've never got 'Take The Power Back' down because my slap technique is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
