lowregisterhead Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Just a bit of fun to help relieve the lockdown boredom. Be nice now - I haven't been doing this long! 😄 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMG456 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I've failed miserably and according to the no. 7 clip, so miserably that I shouldn't really be watching. A lot of them sound familiar but I just can't put my finger on it... I will offer: 3. Boogie Nights - Heatwave 7. Some Bon Jovi tune?? 9. Ruby - Donald Fagen 14. Rhythm Stick - ian Dury and the Blockheads 19. Don't Look Down - Go West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 All I can add to that is, 8 The Coral - Dreaming of You. 16 RHCP - Aeroplane 17 Stranglers - No More Heroes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Well 7 must be 'Living On A Prayer' then. Nice playing by the way 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) In addition to the above, I'll add: 1. Gutter Cat - Alice Cooper (Dennis Dunaway) 5. Ramble On - Led Zeppelin (John Paul Jones) 13. Hair - Graham Central Station (Larry Graham) Nice collection basses you have there. Edited April 29, 2020 by ezbass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthedog Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I have not listened to this yet but Victor Wooten held a class for Berkeley students last week and said you can tell how good a bass player you are by how many people recognise the stand alone bass line. This class apparently had several world class players on it and for at least one song, only 25% of the students recognised it! Apparently it was quite a well known song too. You seem to be doing well @lowregisterhead 😀 I was told this by an attendee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I can see your point @Bobthedogbut if you don't know the song then you'll never know the bassline. I'm unfamiliar with 80% of the music folks on here talk about, purely because it's not the sort of thing I'm into. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there are a couple of deliberately obscure lines in my list, and if they remain unidentified, it may have more to do with my dodgy playing than how well known they are! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
