Should be fun even if we don't end up using it in the set. I've been campaigning for Sledgehammer to go into our set. I learnt it for a previous band that never took off. Great to play. Good luck.

I had lessons for that, it’s a great bassline but pretty tricky especially up to speed, good luck stub 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the bones of it down, just need to get all the little nuances, ghost notes (my nemeses!), etc. sorted so it sounds pukka. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowla Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 I'm due to have a get-together with some pals for a jam. The last one we did Carry On Wayward Son, Jailbreak, Born To Be Wild, and one or two others; we were supposed to do Money, but nobody else learned it! Upcoming are: Get Back, Come Together, Purple Haze, Badge, Sunshine Of Your Love, Let's Dance, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Teenage Kicks, and a few more; there's quite a few styles to be covered there, which is quite fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We messed around with Teenage Kicks at a rehearsal just for a laugh because it's only three chords, and we basically nailed it on the first attempt so into the set list it went!

Yep - I think I've managed to work it out! TBH I've not played along to it at all, but there might be a 4th chord in there for the chorus!

The little vamp at the end is quite fun too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 I like a bit of Sade and have been enjoying learning this, it’s different to what I normally play and it trips me up often, good one to play though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 Helter Skelter is another Macca good 'un. The thing about his bass lines in The Beatles is to get the feel of them rather than learn them note-for-note, as I think he did them on the fly and would (or could) never play them exactly the same again.

Stub Mandrel Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 Forget me not. I'm trying to learn it as an example of 'tasteful' slap. My goodness it is a task to get the phrasing right. And for dome infernal reason it requires an insane amount of concentration not to slip into playing what I think it should be instead of what it is. Haven't even looked at the variations!

Was it Macca ? Word is that Lennon played bass on Helter Skelter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
