toneknob Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 [quote name='wambamalubop' timestamp='1488391718' post='3248588'] Lee Sklar's bassline on Stratus Deceptively simple but locking into that groove defeats me and might until for ever... You can scroll to 2:52 if drum solos are not your thing, though these are some of the most interesting and creative ones to my thinking.

My band does this song, but I try to get them to do it more like this version by Stanley Clarke & Friends. I guess it's a bit like Rhythm Stick, Hysteria - once you can do it, it's fine. I have no trouble with keeping up with the tempo (we inevitably do it fast) but it's always a welcome break to get to the outro. Having said that I suck at Rhythm Stick and Hysteria.

PaulWarning Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Babylons Burning, by the Ruts, Segs Jennings plays it all downstrokes, there's no way I can play it that fast, I can do it (and do) using up and down strokes but it's not quite the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 For me every song is the hardest to learn as i allways tend to aim higher and higher. I still remember the trouble i had with "Come as you are" when i started learning guitar In the past months there are three songs that made me work harder as i try to learn songs by ear first before finding a tab to confirm, it's a good way to train the ears: Stay'in Alive, by Bee Gees - Electro Deluxe cover Sir Duke, by Stevie Wonder Master Blaster, by Stevie Wonder I probably had more dificuties with Master Blster as i'm not a great Reggae player because it's not my thing - yes, i've said it, i'm a bass player who doesn't like reggae. I still struggle to get by "No Woman No Cry" at gigs and i'm constantly cheating and improvising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) YYZ - it's a tricky set of riffs, but then there's another step up to try and make it sound like a song rather than, erm, a set of riffs... Oh, and those intro riffs to Spirit Of Radio...it's only been thirty years, dammit... Edited March 2, 2017 by Muzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 [quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1488380500' post='3248441'] Opposite, I learned it because a mediocre band I was playing with insisted on doing it. Then they changed their mind after running through it twice as the phrasing on the vocals was too difficult. See also the bastards that only did Babooshka three times before the guitarist ditched it.
