Members The Insomniac Posted September 10, 2005 Members Share Posted September 10, 2005 Originally posted by bassguy some jackson 5..dun remember the song, but jackson 5 is ez to play and really funky Some of those bass lines were tough and not suited for beginners. That Motown stuff can be deceptively difficult. You might need to direct him to the specific song you are thinking of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kilmister Posted September 10, 2005 Members Share Posted September 10, 2005 I would say Motorhead, but I can't think of a song where he uses all the strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sunburstbasser Posted September 10, 2005 Members Share Posted September 10, 2005 Learn the opening to "Suck My Kiss" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Very cool, awesome groove, not even half as hard as it sounds. I'll even tab it if you need it, or email you an mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted September 10, 2005 Members Share Posted September 10, 2005 Well, am not sure how big a something you want to take on... Another Deep Purple tune, Space Truckin', has a good bass line. Fast, yes, but fairly straight-forward walking down-hill. You can slow it way, way down, and it still has a nice bass groove to it. You can get the tab/music at the Power Tab Archive . For Space Truckin', either use the browse/search functions in the left column, or go here. Also, you will need to download their reader/editor here. "Maybe I'm A Leo" is another off the Machine Head album that's great, but there's no tab for it. DP is great for bass lines!

Members jbryant8159 Posted September 10, 2005 Members Share Posted September 10, 2005 This thread got me looking thru powertab.net for something interesting to try and I found one that is really done well and will have you working like a dog all over the fretboard. You should download... http://www.powertabs.net/pta.php?page=song,5047 Sure it's wetern movie theme oriented but scroll down and play this guy's "E" section "Western Variations". What an awesome tab!. The whole medley of tunes is good but section E in terrific. I sit in awe of anyone who has the speed, accuracy and dexterity to pull that part off.

Members bonscottvocals Posted September 11, 2005 Members Share Posted September 11, 2005 "Mony Mony" - Billy Idol"Dancing in the Streets" - (the original)"Godzilla" - Blue Oyster Cult"Iron Man" - Black Sabbath and if you're up for a little bit of a challenge (for a beginner leve), then try "Brown Eyed Girl" - Van Morrison. It is more complicated than root or root 5, but it repeats throughout with minor differences, and the solo is just the repeating bass line. Good luck.

Members mcantafi Posted September 12, 2005 Members Share Posted September 12, 2005 longview by green day. Sounds awesome. Just start slow and you'll get it. It's the melody of the song too, so that's kinda fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
