Hardest thing to play on bass


Recommended Posts

The title is pretty much self-explanatory "What do you guys think is the hardest piece of music to play on an electric bass?". There aren't any restrictions, songs from any music genre(even classical music) will do and the piece doesn't have to be originally composed for electric bass. I know this question is largely opinion based and that's why I'm asking for YOUR OPINIONS xd.

Flight of the bumblebee is pretty hard, not the hardest but pretty hard

Look up Sarah Jefferey playing it on her team recorder youtube channel. Makes it look a piece of fosters on an instrument usually reserved for primary school kids (and me :) )

Paganini, but that is violin stuff and thus very hard.

Dragonetti - the Paganini of bass - has done kinky stuff for double bass.

Edgar Meyer and Niels-Henning Ørstedt-Pedersen have played some very hard arrangements. A local record reviewer had a doubt that NHØP was actually two persons playing two basses...

A young player may find it hard to play rests, or long enough notes, or legato. I still do have issues with all three.
