Phil_T Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) I started playing around August last year so I'm still fairly rubbish but I've really enjoyed learning Mike Dirnt's stuff over the last couple of months but I'm left wondering what to move onto next. I've found that a lot of the Greenday songs were pitched just about right for my ability in that they were challenging but not completely out of reach, so far I've done the most of the usual suspect - Basket Case, Longview, When I come around, Sassafrass Roots, Welcome to Paradise and Jesus of Suburbia. I'm looking for suggestions of other bands I could look at that have interesting bass lines in a pop/punk/rock style that have good tabs on the net and, if possible, have guitar hero type master tracks available so I can listen to the isolated bass and do a proper bassless playalong. I like using a pick but don't mind finger style. I've also done some REM stuff that was nice and I'm thinking I'll maybe have a look Radiohead.

Westenra Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Anti-Flag has some very good bass lines that will test your chops! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_T Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 ooh yeah, that sounds quite tasty. Might be a bit beyond me just yet but I'll give it a go. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_T Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 just about got this down now and it's a great tune to play. Ready for another one if anyone has any suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford13 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Start looking at some Red Hot Chili Peppers bass lines, lots of isolated bass tracks on YouTube 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_T Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) yeah, I might give some RHCP a go - none of that slap business for me though (mainy cos I can't do it). I've gone in a slightly different direction in the last few weeks and started learning 'aint no mountain high enough' which has a great baseline, not massively technical but it weaves about all over the place so remembering it is tricky.

T-Bay Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Two I enjoyed learning a lot were alive by pearl jam and sweet child o mine, both easy enough to get into quickly but enough bits to be fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Rancid is definately on my list of stuff to have a go at, along with 'The Decline' by NOFX - that's ones a bit of sod though so I need to get a bit better before tackling it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
