Bass_In_Yer_Face Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I've always been flabbergasted by Norman Watt Roy on "Hit Me With Your Rythmn Stick" Having seen the guys on youtube playing it, I can safely say that if I played till I was 100 years old I still couldn't play it!

Jam Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I love the old metallica stuff but I just don't have the time, patience or skill to do master of puppets or battery. Yes Yes I know someone out there is saying "what, you suck, they're easy" but yeah.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_the_bass Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 we've (bizarrely) been asked to do a wedding in November and have to learn some covers. I'm struggling with going underground by the Jam and have resorted to winging it now - I've only spent about 5 hours on it and it's not bad, but I can't get the rhythms spot on - it shifts between 3/4, 4/4 and 5/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the most part of it fairly straight forward, but there are a few parts I just can't nail, but no-one can hear me anyway . I find Dream Theater stuff to be almost impossible to play through a whole song.. there's always some part that will totally own me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst is Jaco - I can spend hours tryng to nail his stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Funnily enough, I can manage something like Norman's rythmn stick, but I've never really cracked For Once In My Life.

bassmandan Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder, I can play it but [u]I wish[/u] it didn't reduce me to tears, doubled up in a contorted state of RSI induced agony by the end of the song!

Guest subaudio Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 There's load's of techno and jazz stuff I couldn't play, but the "day to day" stuff I could never get Billy Jean by Michael Jackson right, easiest Bline in the world but it just went on forever and then a mid 8 jumps out of nowhere, caught me every time.
