mikeh Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Ive learnt quite a few over the last 2 months after my few years off. Loads of fun and not many songs Ive played before. Having said that the last song I learnt was 'Mountains' by Biffy Clyro, the band played it for the first time at saturdays gig and went ok. I certainly love playing it.

Not my type of music but my brother played it all the time and it got into my head and it seemed like a good place to start. I'd been playing punk riffs on guitar prior to that.

[/quote] Just pleased that is was done on a real bass and not a synth like a lot of the other tunes i have been asked to learn. Quite a nice tidy bassline.

seashell Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Inspired by all the Slade love on BC recently, I sat down on Saturday and tried to work out the bass line to Everyday. OK, so it's quite slow and simple, but then so am I!! Took me about an hour to get it. Then I wrote it all down on a stave with proper notes and everything. Going to show it to my teacher on Sat and ask him to check that I have got it right. Have to make sure I maintain my position as top girly swot!

KevB Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 From next Sunday I'm depping for a few weeks in the house band at a local jam. The main player in the trio is basically a walking jukebox so I'll be cramming in as much stuff this week as I possibly can from 60's onwards pop blues soul rock etc. Did it last year and it's a real test trying to transcribe stuff I've barely learned original vs of into new keys on the spot!
