Members AlexMC Posted April 22, 2009 Members Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hi, I've just bought my first bass (Yamaha RBX270) and am pretty much a beginner. Can anyone suggest simple basslines I could begin with? I've been trying to learn Rapper's Delight and Billie Jean but my fingers don't move that quickly just yet!

Members Cpt. Spliff Posted April 22, 2009 Members Share Posted April 22, 2009 Booker T and The Memphis Group (I think it was Duck Dunn on bass) made the simplest of lines famous: Green Onions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr.Mow Posted April 22, 2009 Members Share Posted April 22, 2009 I just had to learn 'sex on fire' by kings of leon.. its 3 chords and mindlessly fun.. or any Ramones songs.. again 3 chords but usually really fast, great way to get finger speed up!

Members Cortfan Posted April 22, 2009 Members Share Posted April 22, 2009 Pick up a copy of the Bass Tab White Pages. It has hundreds of accurately tabbed bass lines from the simple to the more advanced. Start out with some simple ones, and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Death Hands Posted April 23, 2009 Members Share Posted April 23, 2009 I recently turned BroM into a believer by playing this song for him. I still think Brian Wilson is a vag. I'm kidding. I don't like him for some reason, though. Love the Beach Boys, regardless. Another good song, NIB by Black Sabbath. Has a lot of useful patterns and stuff that'll be helpful.

Members jonjohn Posted April 23, 2009 Members Share Posted April 23, 2009 Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith I don't know how you play that song, But I don't think it's good for a beginner . Most Cure bass lines are simple and cool.Psycho killer by Talking Heads is pretty easy too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
