bakerster135 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hi All! I'm currently stuck in a bit of a rut with the technical stuff that I'm practicing along to, things like Mars Volta, Jamiroquai, Rush etc that I know too well and am not really benefitting from! Wondered if anyone had examples of any great new bands or even songs with interesting, technical technical bass-lines that I might not have heard? Any contributions will be much appreciated! :-) Thanks, Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coilte Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Most "Steely Dan" songs should fit the bill. Here is one to start you off : [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Laxi4GTOTq0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Laxi4GTOTq0[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I was thinking the same thing. . Theres are a ton of prog rock that has demanding bass parts. Find a song you like and figure it out Edited February 1, 2013 by Lowender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the guy covering it does an excellent job , but is it really technically demanding or just a bunch of fast licks stuck together that would be really hard to memorize? That's the thing with a lot of technical metal. It needs more "songs." Edited February 1, 2013 by Lowender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm afraid I can only agree. Even the guitar sounds are pretty generic. It's good, but I'm not feeling it. I do like some prog metal / math metal or whatever you choose to call it. I think our own Steve (stickman) Woodcock's band Linear Sphere are a great example of how to combine the technical aspects of the genre with really good songwriting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmIim7rJP3w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
