Stupidly Easy Tunes Which Are An Absolute Pleasure To Play

[stingrayfan]

[quote name='Commando Jack' post='691384' date='Dec 22 2009, 11:56 AM']Fans by Kings of Leon. It's my dancing song [/quote]
Sex On Fire too. Very simple but mix of sparse verse/chugging choruses is fun to play.

[quote name='simon1964' post='691733' date='Dec 22 2009, 07:13 PM']Great song, but its called "Rocks" - Our guitarist always calls it "Rocks Off", and I've become completely anal about it! Sorry [/quote]


I've always called it "Rocks" out of laziness but actually thought it was called "Get Your Rocks Off"!

Ah well, i was right all along!

[iamapirate]

Master blaster and sir duke just come naturally to me

I'd say kula shaker's version of hush.

[HMX]

Highway to Hell by AC/DC and I don't really like their stuff. It has a groove though.

[Bankai]

It may have already been said but Deftones - My Own Summer

[Pete Academy]

Walking On The Moon.

[tonybassplayer]

Just introduced the White Stripes "Seven Nation Army" in to the set, very easy to play and always goes down well

Pretty much.
The studio version does'nt have quite the same effect on me but there's a cracking cover by Nora Noor on Spotify that's very good [color="#FF0000"]spotify:track:3s7UtQBAwzTtoYBEyGGxfg[/color].

I'm not note perfect on the live version but 90% there i'd say.The chord progression/feel is straight forward and for me it's a joy to play along to.

Let your love flow - Bellamy Brothers
Money - Pink Floyd
We got to get out of this place - The Animals

Get easier than that.

G.L.O.R.I.A.[/quote]

I love love that tune, although no one I've spoken to has ever heard of it. Simple, catchy and rock'n'roll, man!

[quote name='Clarky' post='691349' date='Dec 22 2009, 10:58 AM']I always noodle "The Magnificant Seven" in warm-ups, actually very simple but sounds like it should be harder. Also "Rock the casbah" and "London Calling" are great and easy to play[/quote]

I've always wanted to do 'I'm so bored with the USA' and 'Janie Jones', but the others in the band won't do Clash stuff!

[yorick]

Am I Evil by Diamondhead.

"Am I evil - yes I am " - great lyrics !!

[quote name='PaulWarning' post='691454' date='Dec 22 2009, 01:12 PM']I thought this thread was stupidly easy tunes to play, no names but I get the impression some people nominate quiet difficult songs to try and make themselves look good, or perhaps I'm just a crap bass player[/quote]


Don't know about you, but when I'm looking for a rest in the set I start up Hysteria by Muse...

[quote name='solo4652' post='691385' date='Dec 22 2009, 11:56 AM']Free Me - Joss Stone. Infectious bass riff drives the song nicely. Easy to play, even for me.[/quote]
good point about the bass line,
but am I alone in finding Joss Stone well.....just more than a bit sh*te?
I'll get me coat.......

I could be completely anal and say I missed off the 9 from the other tune, too . Funny, isn't it - I get that way about some song titles.

[Adrenochrome]

Interesting choices - most of these songs have timing that have to be [i]just right[/i], and many covers bands [i]don't[/i] get them right.

Get a new band. Janie Jones is one of the best rock n roll songs ever. My favourite Clash tune.

Max who?

[J3ster]

Pump it Up - Elvis Costello

Always liked that and one of the first I learnt many moons ago I think my first Bass tutor 'Robbie Romp' (yes its his true name) who used to play with Captain Sensible taught me this.
