Wow. Thank you so much guys - I must admit the songs that have been suggested so far would never have occurred to me, but are quality.

I started a thread about this a while ago, Ill see if I can find the link for you.[/quote]
Cheers mate, I'd appreciate that. I did do a couple of searches before posting, but didn't find anything (probably made poor choices in search terms).

Hi all,

I just bought my first bass guitar and am sorting out a teacher for the new year, but in the mean time I've just been practicing some of the boring (but necessary) stuff like scales, learning the fretboard notes etc. etc.

I was wondering if anyone can recommend some good rock/metal/blues songs to try as I'm having real problems here. Every time I think of something I find
the tab is woefully incorrect; or
I can't make out the bassline well enough on the track to decipher the tab; or
the songs I have the "dots" for are too hard; or
all of the above.

Such a newbie post I know, but I'm feeling a little demotivated now and thought it'd be better to try and remedy the situation even if it meant embarrassing myself here.
