Members Emprov Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 Symphony X - Sea of LiesAlso, Origin - Finite if you're into that sort of thing.Have fun. Dang. Here's another that kicked my butt at first. It's a worship song but, well, the bridge took me a bit to gain the ability to move around the strings let alone play using fingers at that speed. 16th's at 112?

Members jannda Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 Jefferson AirPlane's The other side of this life,3/5ths of a mile in 10 seconds,Somebody to Love, But anything off of the album Bless it's little pointed head is great and can be a challange even some of the slower stuff can be pretty technical."THIS ALBUM SHOULD BE IN EVERYONE COLECTION" :thu:even if you don't like the airplane you will love the bass work from Casady. Plastic Fantastic Lover Is another good one off that album. It's a live album and it's Jack at his best IMO. Also listen to Jack Bruce off the Cream Albums and some Ten Years After all great stuff:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sunburstbasser Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 Listen to Tower of Power and cop some of those lines. You could also try Rush's YYZ and Analog Kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Optimus Prime Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 When I was first starting out, the fast part to Bullet in the Head by RATM was a pain in the dick. It starts fast, gets faster and it repeats 50 times. I had a hell of a time getting tat part down back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pattern itself is easy but to keep playing it without {censored}ing up can be difficult at first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zesty brick Posted August 30, 2008 Members Share Posted August 30, 2008 Totally forgot about Athiest. No joke, for some of the hardest bass riffing check out the album Piece of Time. One of the greatest albums of all time, some of the hardest bass lines of all time.

The dude is amazing! He rocks harder on his living room floor than most posers bouncing around on a stage. The guy has easily over 100+ YouTube videos. http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=zodiakironfist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
