Sounds good - can you point me in the direction of a Dear Prudence tab online?

Here you go!

I've made some adaptations for the band, as we start the track just bass and vocals, so I start on the A string D, then C, then b flat then B, but once the other instruments come in, I go up to the 7th fret on the G string.

In no particular order ....

Enter sandman
Tears of a clown
Woman from tokyo
Cryin in the rain

Not my favourite ( yet) but i'm gonna have a go at "you'll always find me in the kitchen at parties", just read that the mighty Watt-Roy played bass on it.. Should be a doddle then..

[Kirky]

I love playing "Heard if through the grapevine" but my current band doesn't do it. I'm really looking forward to playing the John Mayer Trio's version of "I Got a Woman" which we've rehearsed a couple of times and will be adding to the set - simple in many ways, but the timing has to be really spot on.

[Japhet]

Don't play it anymore (cos we don't have a female singer!) but I always loved playing You Oughtta Know by alanis Morisette. I heard somewhere that Flea and Chad Smith were on it but don't know if that's true.

Love this, play it most gigs, don't really follow the Flea lines much, tend to jam my own lines round them. Also love Superstition, dead simple but such a lovely groove. My lot won't do it but another band I've depped with does so I look forward to the next opportunity.

No mention of Mustang Sally then ?
[/quote]

Yes. Not sure if I have a fave song to play but it would be up there.

It's right at the end of our set - which means I have that great feeling of another gig done without any of us dropping dead and a pint waiting for me. We have folk - usually young , curvy , types of folk in short skirts (and , hopefully , with a 'Daddy' complex) ! - on stage with us as backing singers - place is gong nuts , as it always does when we play Mustang Sally ....... what's not to enjoy about that.

[Bikenbass]

Used to enjoy playing 'Run To You', Brian Adams, but played so much I grew fed up with it. Seems to be how I am with most songs tbh. No wonder I can't stick with any genre for too long.

[Blademan_98]

Freebird

[dmccombe7]

Rainbow - Stargazer
Pink Floyd - Time
Genesis - I know What I like
Supertramp - School
Steve Hacket - Everyday

just some of my favs but could list a lot more. In fact i can feel a set list coming up - LOL

[AussieBassman]

Well, one of the covers we do is "Treat Her Right" which for me is just another song, but on Saturday we played at the Rebels in Sorell (think Hell's Angels!) with a dep guitarist and it rocked! Don't know why but it just felt really good when we all locked in on it.

[seashell]

At the moment it's 20th Century Boy by T Rex. It's the only one on that everyone in my band can get right!

[alyctes]

Love Potion Number Nine

[Jag_Bassist]

Bernadette by the Four Topps has allways been a fun one to play.

[BassTractor]

Yes - Yours is no disgrace
probably.

[ScreencastTutor]

Right now... probably Good Times by Chic.

If I could play them 100% it would be:

Parliament - Give Up The Funk
The Allman Brothers - Jessica
Brothers Johnson - Get The Funk Outta My Face

We used to do a thrash funk version of that!

[darkandrew]

I've just bought a new guitar effects processor (a Boss GT-100) and I've found myself playing loads of new wave / new romantic songs such as Duran Duran's "Hungry Like The Wolf" and even the Sisters of Mercy's "Some Kind Of Stranger" purely because some of the GT-100's ridiculously over-the-top presets match the equally ridiculously over-the-top guitar processing on these tracks (you've gotta love the 80's!). No doubt, if I'd bought an Oberheim OBX synth I'd be playing Van Halen's "Jump" all night. Great fun!
