I started to learn Courage and Attitude by Alien Ant Farm (Tye Zamora is an amazing player), but I'll have to wait till I get my 5 or 6 string to learn properly as theres a few low notes thrown in and its more hassle than it's worth to try and learn them in drop D.

You should all learn these lines!

Yes, we have that one in our set. We also have My Immortal nailed, mainly thanks to have a brilliant keyboard player. What an extraordinary song.

I've been working on 'It's my life' by No Doubt. Prolly a synth line originally but it falls nicely under the old fingers.

Lost Art of Keeping a Secret by QotSA. I say learned; I've got a good enough approximation to it that only another bassist would realise that I'm doing it wrong :)

I'm currently working on learning Smooth by Santana and .... Rob Thomas I think. Great bass line. It's going to take me a while to get all the bits together.

Hmmm, what else ... Long Road to Ruin springs to mind. There's a few others but those are the more interesting ones.

[quote name='jonsmith' post='192410' date='May 5 2008, 07:38 PM']Mission by Rush - working on this with my Rush tribute at the moment. Hardest bit seems to be getting the transition from the 5/4 bit under the first guitar solo to the marimba/bass unison part really tight (and the tail end of that part is a bit tricky too). Good fun.[/quote]

One of my fave RUSH numbers, it's awesome live.

I love that track, but couldn't find the tab anywhere, is it fun to play?

My teacher has given me Sunshine of your love to learn, and it's great and simple enough for me to handle.

Yes its fun to play, especially the solo. Ive got the guitar pro file for it but heres the TAB [url="http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/k/kasabian/club_foot_ver2_btab.htm"]http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/k/kasa...t_ver2_btab.htm[/url]

Sunshine is a classic track, just the blues scale in D and G.

Small world ... I found myself playing Territories the other day. I love general Geddy lines from the eighties, also the seventies, nineties and noughties.
