Ha ha yea I know what you mean

I've started doing "The Princess Royal" which is a diddly / Morris dance tune ... That's not usually on the "don't play these tunes" list in music shops :)

Me too.

Can never remember anything that might sound remotely interesting to a non musician/bassist.

Always end up playing something really simple.

I'm partial to Rush instrumentals, except when there are fiddly fills involved. Which basically rules out YYZ, then, but I find their more recent instrumentals more tasteful, anyway. Previous faves are [i]Where's My Thing?[/i] and [i]Leave That Thing Alone![/i], but these days I'm very into [i]The Main Monkey Business[/i].

Fretted, a mash-up of Queen, Another One Bites The Dust and Chic, Le Freak / Good Times.[/quote]



I usually find myselt noodling thru a Bach piece in G, one of the preludes I think :) I like it cos it means I can use my low C legitimately :huh:

Strangely enough, I was learning that this morning and decided it was going to be my new showoff piece. Of course, if anyone asks me to play it I'll immediately forget how it goes
