DMcCann Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Brickhouse - The Commodores, very funky bassline with lots of room for improvisation Lets Work- Prince , IMO a bit of 'tasteful slap' ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trashcity Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 That bassline from "Police Officer" by Smiley Culture. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leezo666 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Iv just learnt Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne cant wait to run it through with the band tomorrow The bass lines are great in this song but the guitar sound on the original track really irritates me for some reason but I really like the Skid Row and Bullet For My Valentine versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomE Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 [quote name='deksawyer' post='1182030' date='Mar 30 2011, 11:56 AM']I finally cracked Sir Duke - Stevie Wonder last night. There's talk of me starting a funk band sometime.......... D.[/quote] Great innint when you finally pull that one off (oooh er missus). Once the famous riff is nailed i found the tricky bit the last double chorus where the bass player starts doubling up and playing extra twiddly bits.

nobodysprefect Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Been working on my fusion chops lately. Today I got Teen Town 40% of the way there. The last 60% is to make it clean and groovy at concert tempo. No fun blowing the notes of the bass line on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in a slap mood when i learned it so i turned it funk. great bassline[/quote] The reason that this is such a good bassline is that it is Norman Watt Roy playing it not Paul Simeon. It also has Micky Gallagher from the Blockheads on keys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteinKent Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'm just re-learning Living In The Past by Jethro Tull. Its quite tricky, but not overly difficult except that I have to sing it as well and its in a silly time signature. I thought I had it nailed on my own , from the tab and with no reference to the track apart from memory but when I got together with the guitarist it was obvious that it wasn't right and now I am having problems unlearning the wrong version. I can play it fine and I can sing it fine but really struggling to do both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I had to really think about this one, it's been about 6 weeks since I sat down to learn a song. So, it was either. Alison Moyet's, All Cried Out (with some extra fills ) or Avril Lavigne's My Happy Ending (with some fills taken out, because my fingers are old ) Also had to refresh my memory about playing Message In A Bottle. Simple but I love playing it, I just do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice sing along chorus eh. The quiet bit near the end's a peach, won't be easy doing it live but you have to bring it down for the finale. Are going for the full intro or just straight in?
