tomhunt Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I find a lot of The Specials tracks are great to play along to, and a few Madness songs. Horace Panter from The Specials is a very underestimated bass player if you ask me. Heres one of my favourite's to play along to http://youtu.be/B4JFmkB3CSE I also think a lot of The Jam stuff is great to play along to. I normally start off with some kind of Soul/Motown stuff, head off to Ska/Reggae and then end on a lot of stuff by Rush (favourite band). My band cover Band of Gold by Freda Payne and thats a great song to play along to. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
