Monz Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Drive my car - Beatles THAT BLOODY INTRO!! Only three notes but it feels in the wrong place. Now Ive got it nailed it sounds fine but I can tell you it took some practice to get it right (thank heavens for phrase looping software) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markytbass Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Scales and modes, I've been having a back to basics week. I know major and blues scales but have become a bit ignorant and just learnt songs from the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabootsy Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 [quote name='Doc B' post='186243' date='Apr 27 2008, 12:37 AM']For the past few days I've been unable to get Joy Division's 'Digital' out of my head - hypnotic bass and vocals. I mentioned this to my wife and she suggested putting the song on when we got home - so I dug out my Joy Division Substance CD (the first CD I ever bought). Next thing I picked up my new Squier VM 70s Jazz and worked out the bassline, closely followed the line for Transmission. Lovely![/quote] Robert Cray Phone Booth great funky number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbass4k Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Tool - Schism I just bought an xp-100 whammy, so i'm having a tool binge, tool aren't for everyone, but i love justin chancellors style, it's a challenge for me because i play with fingers as close to the neck as i can, i dont like playing near the bridge or using a pick, but he's got some great bass lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowhand_mike Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 working my way through extreme's get the funk out and It's a Monster. both nice lines. struggling with the solo on it's a monster. also pat plays with a pick and i havent used one in anger in a very long time.

I'm working on take the power back, but its giving me trouble lol. Zach[/quote] rage has some great lines, Take the power back is actually pretty simple once you get your head round it and is great to play. drop D, seen alot of people saying play it with a pick but most times i have seen it its slap and thats how it sounds best IMHO. found the muted notes in between the slap parts the tricky bit followed by the pull offs.

beerdragon Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Fairy tale of New York by the Pogues. I'm a bit of a slow learner so its taking a bit of time. we are not putting it into the set untill xmas so there's no rush. what makes it a little harder is that the songs in D and we are doing it in C.

lowrentdiscographer Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 "Stretchin' Out" by Bootsy, learned at the reccomendation of (and, I think, by way of a mini-assessment by) my tutor. I had it sooo wrong first time round. Also, The "Not-So-Long-Song" from CBBC tv show RazzleDazzle, and a fudgey version of Fraggle Rock. Both kids' tv tunes are by ear so probably also wrong... S.
