TimR Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Smooth Operator. Fairly simple up to the bass solo which is also fairly simple apart it's just difficult getting into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1332496841' post='1589032'] Not sure if I ever learn any. I learn them, write them down and then forget them. The most recent one was Henri Texier's Soweto Sorrow (a year ago?) but I couldn't play it now if my life depended on it. I guess the only lines I learn now are the ones I write for my own compositions. If I don't learn those, nobody will BUt if I write them, I am not learning them, am I? I am writing them.... [/quote] So the only ones you know by heart are the 'standards'. The rest you do as you say above, or sight read if you need to ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Neil Murray original and live version of Fool For Your Loving by Whitesnake and then the band changed their mind and said it was too dated This is a classic rock band doing covers of Purple, Rainbow, Whitesnake and Sabbath. Work that one out if you can. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone doesn't like the song I would rather they just said than dropping this excuse. Especially when someone has put so much effort into learning it. If its learnt, give it an airing and let the audience decide! [/quote] Annoyed the hell out of me that did cause I'm a huge fan of Neil Murray. Jack Bruce and Neil were probably my biggest influences so i was really into covering that particular version and giving it my best as a matter of respect for the original bass line done by Neil. Check his live performance using a Kramer. Some of his runs are incredible. Hugely under-estimated bassist IMO. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashell Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Sorry its this phone again. Quoted daves post without saying why. When i told my bass teacher i had been to neil murray masterclass at LBGS he was dead impressed. He has had lessons off him himself and rates him as a top player.

JakeBrownBass Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Currently digging in to two Col Bruce Hampton tracks. Otiel Burbridge is on bass on the tracks and is absolutely killing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I learned Imperium by Machine Head the other day, for my cover band. Not a particularly challenging track, but quite fun to play, and plenty of room to add a bit of 'flavour' to the parts It's normally in drop B, but I just play it on my 5... Actually makes it easier as I barely have to move my left hand! Edited April 13, 2012 by chrismuzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Wedding gig coming up, Maggie May requested, what a lark that bass line is. While I was faffing I picked up Suspicious Minds just for fun, then after another phone call from the singer it was straight into The Devil Went Down To Georgia. An odd Thursday night...probably an even odder wedding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already do "What A Man" - underrated song, great funky bassline. I love how these Stax arrangements are both melodic and driving while still leaving 'space' (for want of a more accurate description). I'm also still working on "I want you back". Got the notes down, all I have to do now is sound like I mean it! Oh and the singer now wants to transpose it to E which will trash the line on a four string...

Sean Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1334356160' post='1615261'] Dead Boys. Sonic Reducer. Yeah! [/quote] I've gigged this song over a hundred times! Never on bass though, vocals and guitar. It's amazing. It was always a real buzz when someone came over and responded positively to it too, they were usually older muso-punks or deeply geeky Pearl Jam fans. My last bassline learned was I Need a Dollar by Aloe Blacc, nothing much to shout about but that was the last one I learned on Thursday night Edited April 14, 2012 by Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
