I've had over thirty five years experience and find it harder than ever to nail new material, but I put that down to age - my brain does not take stuff in and remember like it used to, I must get rid of those aluminium saucepans.....

Presumably you are talking about what a lot of us do and that is to play a cover of somebody elses tune, if that's the case, read on. If it's original material, you'll have to somehow tailor the following

Learn the bass part... Obvious reallyl, but specifically I mean learn it so you can play it without thinking - yep, it's hard work, I have sat for HOURS in my kitchen going over and over one song but it's the only way to do this

Then....
Learn the vocal - the lyrics, the phrasing, the tune, the lot.

Now, verse first... Play along to the original and [i]hum[/i] the tune as you play the bass line. Do this and visualise the lyric but don't try and sing just yet, you need to focus on the brain split between bass and vox. Do it over and over until you feel you can join in with the singing. Then.....speak it through at first so you get the phrasing married with the bass. Any tricky timings you find between bass and vox, go over them again and again

So, once each verse is mastered, move on to the chorus and do the same

Put the whole lot together and then sing along with the original until you have it nailed.

Finally..... practise singing TO your audience - by that I mean try not to look at your fretboard as you sing, try not to look down, try not to always have your eyes closed. Get these final bits right and you've cracked it!

Two of the hardest songs I can think of that took me yonks in the kitchen were 'Rat Trap' by the Boomtown Rats - totally counterpoint bass/vox and that lazy Geldof drawl too - and 'Lonely Boy' by Andrew Gold.

Best of luck

ive watched your band many times when working up north mate (even the ashbrooke rugby club gig when the power went lol) , prolly the best pub scene band ive ever seen in truth, respect...and you deffo got the singing/bass playing sussed

i remember trying to sing the harmony on "start" whilst playing the simple bass line in a jam tribute..

"its, not, important for"
"you, to, know my name"

eeeek..

like the man says, practice, practice , practice..

lol wondering whether to keep it now just bought a dtr1000 off fleabay, got home from work it was here thought id try it out on the warlock it was two semitones down and flat, by christ it sounds better in tune...

cheers dude you gotta be realistic ifn you wanna sell stuff nowadays

didnt sell on ebay so im giving it away (well, almost) and keeping the flightcase for me fender..early nineties bc rich korean warlock, black, vgc, active emg j and p pups, switch bypassed, plays ok, could do with a new set of strings, long scale neck, flightcase not included, pick up only in peterborough, realistically priced ho ho..advertised elsewhere (gumtree)
