Merton Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 A bit like my soundcheck licks, I play the open strings. All at the same time. With a coin instead of a pick. Nah. I haven't been in a g**tar shop for AGES so I can't actually remember the last thing I played in one. Probably some bollox like Gods of War or one of me own lines.

spike Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Whenever I try out a bass in a shop I instantly forget every bassline I have ever learned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I just play! I don't know any songs that aren't my band's. That sounds quite bad really, but, I just stopped playing other people's stuff about 4 years ago. I don't know why. It's probably bad for me as a musician.

lowhand_mike Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) higher ground, naked in the rain, sweet home chicago, the awakening (well the first half anyway), number of the beast, wishing well, small sections out of other songs too. i was in SC on oxford street a while back trying out amps and started playing Keep on Running and then an old guy near buy started singing it, thats the only time anyone has stopped to look /listen to what i was doing, there was a small group in the end. but i prefer booths for that reason. and alot of the time my mind tends to go completely blank the second i walk in a shop.

Money or anything by the Jam or RHCP are ones I hear most, those and slapped triplet after slapped triplet of course, oh I did play My Sherona once and the guitar (not bass) salesmen said he hadn't heard that in yonks, no sh.t :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGit Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Actually the last time I was trying basses in a music shop they had a concert Video running as I started .. some young turks I didn't recognise - after a while I realised I couldn't really compete so I started playing along to it ... the staff turned the video volume [b]up[/b] ... Derrrrrrrrrr Wasn't even SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockbongo Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Been ages since i tried a bass out in a shop properly, but last time I ran through "The Awakening" by The Reddings rather than Stock Slap Phrase No 34 in E. Guy had never heard it before and thought I had made it up. I didn't take the credit, don't worry... But i did take the bass...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
