My favourite bassist, and when I started playing a couple of years ago I had to learn Look What Happended but as a beginner it seemed completely impossible. I can now play it pretty well, but it’s taken me 18 months to learn it. 
Rest of his stuff, well, I may just have to watch instead!!

(I am so much of a fan I bought an EB MM Sterling just like his) 

I was always a big fan when I was younger, rediscovered them after introducing my daughter to them. I think I learned My Best Friends are Metalheads back in the day very sloppily, figured it might be a little easier to learn now but I was wrong 🤣

How on earth he plays all that and jumps around and sings is just beyond me.

Taking a break from the Sean Hurley ones and working on a few Robbie Shakespeare Basslines I’ve never got around to playing

Haha I was trying to sing along (badly) to Science of selling yourself short yesterday which is on the easier side bass-wise and it was an omnishambles 🤣

The River Boat Song - Ocean Colour Scene.

Nights Over Egypt by The Jones Girls. Easy to pick up but keeping it really clean and getting the feel is a bit trickier. And trying to nail the noodly bits in White Rhino Tea by Ozrics.

Am currently learning some heavy rock stuff, Bon Jovi, Rainbow, Def Leppard, stuff I`ve liked for ages but never bothered to learn. Quite good fun really, and unlike a lot of the original players my hair isn`t getting in the way of looking at the fretboard as I learn 😂

Always intrigued that metal and rock musicians seem to be immune to hair loss

Headbanging keeps a healthy blood flow to the follicles.

I'm just learning Forever Free by W.A.S.P.

Depping on a gig on Friday, rehearsing this afternoon, given the set list late last night!!!

 

I know about 25 of the 30 songs, but most of the arrangements are new to me and not straight forward!

 

I got some scribbled notes. We'll see how it goes. Should be interesting!

Hanging Around, Sometimes, No More Heroes, Princess of the Streets, Golden Brown, Something Better Change and for a bit of a change, Mach dich lieber anders tot.

I am currently working my way through the complete Blues Brothers sound track. I love DD's playing so it's about time I did that.

 

I'm also doing going back to a tune I used to find easy - Metallica's Master of Puppets. I played it for years in covers bands but then I ruptured a tendon in my right hand middle finger and the reduction in mobility has made that song really difficult ever since.

 

To be fair, the recovery was such a drawn out affair that I thought I'd have to swap to playing only with a plectrum (urgh) so being able to play with my fingers at all is a relief. But it's time to unlearn old hand positions and see if I can work out how to do it all over again.

From Out of Nowhere by Faith No More. Darn fine song and a great bassline which I wouldn`t have suspected was in it at all.
