Other than that I've been relaxing and playing some Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I Saw Her Standing There by the Beatles. It's bloody fast! Played it in public for the first time last night. Went down a storm. I felt very proud of my little self. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Jackson 5 'I want you back' has always been my favourite line to play. That and 'Too young to die' by Jamiroquai make it into much every practice session,no matter what else I might be trying to learn, purely for the joy of playing them.

ezbass Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 We've recently added Kayleigh to our set, so I've been playing this a lot lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashweb Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Been given two exercise / practice pieces by my instructor and have got a bit hooked on playing them as they're two of my favourite tracks. The first is 'Sunshine of your Love' by Cream and the second is 'Cars' by Gary Newman; having a bit of trouble getting the chorus up to speed, but I'll get there...

SpondonBassed Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 [quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1496691713' post='3313275'] Alive by Pearl Jam, off one of my favourite albums and great to play. So what tunes are other basschatters enjoying playing? [/quote] I've just listened to the box set that Twigman posted about. Sad Lovers and Giants' five disc compilation; [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/305077-weve-got-a-box-set-out/"]http://basschat.co.u...-a-box-set-out/[/url] I'd not heard of them before but they encapsulated the feeling of music in the eighties in a way that went down superbly well. Their later stuff developed comfortably and sat very well with nineties' styles as well. It's not often that I invest in a band that I don't know. I have no regrets on this purchase.

Then I might have time to listen to all the albums I bought recently including the Sad Lovers And Giants boxed set...

howdenspur Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 We've just started doing "Keep on Growing" by Derek and the Dominoes - though my younger amigos know the Tedeschi Trucks version better. Great song, nice bass line too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
