sbrag Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Poison by Alice Cooper. Hugh Macdonald's lines dont come naturally to me but feel it is improving my technique! Not the hardest song but some interesting bits in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I had 27 to learn in 2 weeks for a bass share gig (main bassist one weekend, me the next). Did the first 2 gigs the week before close down. Guitarist has sent me another 7 to learn lol. One of them is Zep'd Ramble On REALLY not my style😮. More like struggle on 😋 Oh, and they don't do rehearsals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually play thru and with the song 2-3 times to get a feel for it first. Then i get the music tabs etc and look at youtube clips for the tricky bits that are sometimes missed on bass tabs. Once i'm happy i have it all i write it all out note for note for my own files. That way it helps me remember what i wrote as well as having learned it by ear or tabs. Maybe a bit overkill but i keep my notes just in case i ever need them again. Zep basslines are amazing even tho i'm not a huge Zep fan.

Lozz196 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. Not particularly difficult to play, it’s just remaining in the headspace of the continual riff for much of the song and keeping disciplined. And agree, Dave, Zep basslines are great, am glad I’ve finally gotten round to learning some of their material.

Graham Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Nothing's Funny by The Dillinger Escape Plan Been wanting to learn some Dillinger for a while, the non-4/4 time signature makes it more tricky to play than my usual covers band fare, but it's not too bad. This song's got a real Faith No More vibe to it as well, which is cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 On 08/03/2020 at 11:00, dmccombe7 said: Full new set list for a dep job in early May. Mates band kicked their bass player out due to drug / money related issues within the band. He was in his late 20's while rest of the band are "more mature". I used to play with this band 3 yrs ago but the set list has changed almost completely. Its interesting but nothing too difficult. Superstition by Stevie Wonder and one that really surprised me was Maggie May by Rod Stewart. Some nice bass in Maggie May. Only just finding the songs on-line to learn and locating any bass tabs or chord sheets i can find. Making a start on them this week. Here's the set list in no specific order as far as i know :- The Bluest Blues – Alvin Lee A That is a cracking tune, been a staple in our set list for night on 10 years, along with Midnight Blues by Gary Moore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 70yrs young along with singer but still 20 yr olds at heart. Who knows if it will ever come to anything in future. Meanwhile my own band is taking advantage of the spare time and adding a good few new songs into our repertoire. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubit Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I am today mostly re learning I will follow you into the dark by Death Cab on the acoustic. I used to know it years ago but forgot it. Current global pandemic constraints are making me get more desperate in methods of relieving boredom and with two young people constantly omnipresent, bass noodling is out of the question.
