Give me some songs to learn

[ARGH]

For the love of money - the O'Jays

Pickstyle funk workout

[waynepunkdude]

Damn now I have loads to learn

I just tried Vital Signs, was expecting it to be really hard but it's quite straightforward.

[waynepunkdude]

I'm finding Master Blaster hard.

[lowdown]

Looks like someone has beat me to this one..
Anthony Jackson on Bass.
On the other hand it could have been that Carole bint.

Great number!

I am perfectly happy to play along with Wrapped Around Your Finger all day and night. I adore that bassline.

I'm in a Police tribute band so we play em all but Wrapped is also one of my faves too.

Bit of Jamerson - For Once In My Life, Bernadette, I Was Made To Love Her. I've recently spent many happy hours murdering the first of those.

[Kirky]

Get hold of Fromohio by firehose (if you haven't already). Mike Watt's basslines are all great fun on this album.

Do you play the album version or one of his live versions? He plays it very differently on each live recording, I really like the Atlanta Synchronicity Concert version. Do you drop D or maybe you have a 5 string. I love playing it on a fretless, on headphones along with the record, with the lights off.

Have you heard/seen the version on the new Certifiable DVD? Glorious!

I did a bit of a mixture of the Atlanta version and the album version, in other words its the Atlanta version with a dropped D. I just thought it sounded nicer dropping to D. Its really nice to sing too.

Got 'For the Love of Money' down

I'm working through them slowly but surely.

[Dr.Dave]

Bit of Macca??

I've tried to play Ian Dury before it's way too difficult for me.

[Guest]

How about a little Sublime? this could be up your street [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WBttO4UzSw"]"Date Rape"[/url] Plenty of other classics to choose from as well.

[wrinkleygit]

How come nobody mentioned Colin Hodgkinson,try 32-20 or slidin delta,keeps me amused for hours

[acidbass]

So many great tunes listed here already - I'd learn them all! In the true spirit of Motown Friday, I'd recommend anything by Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye etc etc etc, the list goes on!

Particular favourite



If you come from a punk background (which I know you do!), it'll expand your playing repertoire beyond belief when you learn some of these sorts of stuff. Syncopated, non-root based playing at it's best.

Fancy a challenge, try YYZ

[waynepunkdude]

I love Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay, one of my favourite songs ever, I find it a real challenge as the main problem with my playing is playing slow in time.

[waynepunkdude]

Is this tab right?
