redfish Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 [quote name='WarPig' post='269244' date='Aug 25 2008, 12:40 AM']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][/quote] Thank you! [quote name='WarPig' post='269244' date='Aug 25 2008, 12:40 AM']Sunshine is a classic track, just the blues scale in D and G.[/quote] Yes, it fits in nicely to the point I've been learning. Best thing is that my mum recognises it, I played it to her and she was delighted it was something she knew, but then she said - oh it's a bit low isn't it then we had a conversation about the fact that it's a bass, not a standard guitar and it's meant to be lower...

BassMunkee Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 The Cult - American Horse. I always liked the very beginning of it. (That was a while ago, it was then that I realised that learning other bands' basslines was boring. No offence meant in any way at all, and yes I am aware of the benefits, it's just not my thing)...

Faithless Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Whitesnake - Too Many Tears Faith No More - Easy, to name a few rock-ballad basslines... They're so tasty! I hope, I'll be finishing Dream Theater's - Constant Motion and Metallica's - One in days... DT's just for fun, and Tallica's for my tribute band... Oh, and I've done Pastor of Muppets not that long ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Just been invited to act as a dep for someone in a local covers band so had about 15 songs to learn in a week so they could rehearse without their regular bass player. I think they were surprised I'd learned as much as I did in the time which counted in my favour but it was mostly straightforward stuff even for my level. Don't know how many gigs I'll get to do with them yet. Probably the most fun out of the lot was Action, the old Sweet / Def Leppard tune.

jonsmith Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) [quote name='StevieC' post='224964' date='Jun 23 2008, 01:01 PM']Good on ya! A bit of a challenge that one. Every Rush song has a great bass part. Have you looked at 'territories' or 'analogue kid'?[/quote] Wandered into this thread again today for first time in ages... We finally got Mission nailed after a few weeks of playing it through. Once we noticed that Neil Peart has changed what he does on the most recent tour, providing a much better cue for the marimba section, it fell into place. We haven't played Territories, but we did play around with Middletown Dreams from Power Windows - nice Wal sound on that album. We did Analog Kid for a while, until the guitarist decided it was boring to play. My Rickenbackers got a good workout on that one. To stay on topic, but with a total change of pace and with my other band: the most recent song I learned was Single Handed Sailor by Dire Straits. It's a fairly simple bassline, but providing the drummer's up to providing the right drum part - and fortunately ours is - there's a really nice groove develops in this song.

leonshelley01 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Breed - Nirvana - Nice and simple, learnt in five minutes. Sweet Leaf - Black Sabbath - Majority of the song in about ten minutes, but the bloody middle section has me pulling my hair out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
