I can't get beyond the end of the first verse before my left hand seizes up. I find it easy enough, it's just having enough stamina and strength. 5 hours ago, BigRedX said: Again are you sure? From what I can see from the various live videos of the Simple Minds playing the song the repeating D is a sequenced synth part. The bass guitar plays something else that appears to follow the guitar part. Not totally no, I always assumed it was just D but will admit I've never broken it down. I'll have a look later.

We're dropping the second solo, it's just drags it out too long though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do, make sure you get a version with the original 1973 mix. From the mid-80's up to 2006 the only CD / digital release available was a horrible remix of the original recordings and there are still lots of copies floating around out there. Speaking from bitter personal experience here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their bassist is very easy to emulate 🤣 Wasn’t a certain amount of their bass work by the great Jerry Scheff? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoBass Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 We play Snow Patrol’s ‘You’re All I Have’ as a first set opener. Verse E / A repeated, chorus A / B repeated, all eighth notes... Not much of a challenge to play, but it goes down well and is a nice easy way to ease into the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si600 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Presumably anything by Royal Blood doesn't make it into the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Scheff only played on the LA Woman LP, but they had other session bassists in for most of their studio sessions; it was usually only live when Mr Manzarek's left hand took over the role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Or how about 'Chant #1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On) by Spandau Ballet. Same 5 notes played in a repeating scale throughout the song. Used to play that, always went down well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Personally I'd nominate Eruption by Van Halen, and maybe something by Pig Destroyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
