def leppard hysteria
[/quote]excellent choice, I have this on my list

[hollywoodrox]

Livin on a prayer - Bon jovi
You're in love - ratt
Is this love - white snake

I feel really inadequate now after all the fancy stuff everyone else is learning.
I have a list of 80s hair metal songs I want to learn as its my fave music.
My fave song to play ever is round and round by ratt every time I play it it just makes me feel so happy.

So much trouble - Sir John Quatermain
Steam - Laura Vane and the Vipertones
Pick up the pieces - Average White band

Mmmm - funky..

[wateroftyne]

Due to receiving an offer faaaar too good to refuse, I've just learned:

Barry White - I Love You Just The Way You Are (Good fun.)
Chris De Burgh - Lady In Red (Hateful. Like musical vomit.)

[TimR]

Audition tonight. I've learned Crossroads, Purple Haze, Green Light Girl, and Umbrella Man. Hopefully well enough.....

[simes]

Easy - Commodores
Teen Town - Jaco.....well the first 4 bars and only at half the speed it's supposed to be but it's my long term practice piece to work on at lessons. Not my usual musical fare but good for improving and learning. How the hell do you play that fast and maintain accuracy .

[ezbass]

Africa - Toto. My drummer's choice who is a huge Jeff Porcaro fan.

I feel the need to apologise for them :/

Nah, as far as indie pop goes, they are alright.

i know :-) my son likes them... But ti be honest, their basslines are fun to play.

[SpaceChick]

I'm currently learning Alannah Myles - Black Velvet.... And am grateful I have a 5 string

The original starts on a D# so on a 4 string the recommendation is to drop tune ALL strings by a semitone!!!!!

On my 5 string.... Not an issue

It's a curious song...... As about 70% of it it banging out loud root notes.... The other 30% is challenging little flurries, lots of 8th notes....

We are trying it in next weeks band practice, so I have the weekend to either nail the hard bits or dumb it down!!

...originally played on a synth bass.

Truth is, if you play it at the octave on a 4-string, no-one but anoraks will notice....

[Hobbayne]

Slade - Mama we're All Crazy Now. Quiet good actually, its not the root note plodder I expected it to be,

Underestimated bass player (assuming he made up the bass lines) I think they're remarkably tuneful and showed a pride in his work.

[4 Strings]

I have to learn Jocelyn Brown's 'Someone Else's Guy' for a rehearsal tonight and gig tomorrow.

Good slap line all the way through. A bit irksome I wouldn't classify my playing with the words 'good' and 'slap' near each other, but I'll be better at it after tomorrow night! Got a bv to go with it too. <gulp>

They've done very well for themselves and a great bunch of lads, who worked hard to get where they are


Paolo Nutini - 10/10
The Strokes - Last Night
Elton John - Step Into Christmas


That time of year...
