What song are you learning?

With a new (to me) Rob Allen fretless there was only one thing I could learn 

 

Haven’t had sore finger tips for awhile but this is taking some practice 😄

Lovely tone Rob builds into his basses

Attempting this classic from melba moore 

 

 

And have been working through this lovely bass line 

 

 

Forgot about that Melba Moore classic, Wayne Braithwaite who made a passive 70s Fender Jazz sound like an active.

 

Very popular and phenomenal session player.

 

Great taste sir😎

In their infinite wisdom my band have decided that we’re going to add Muse ‘Hysteria’ to the setlist - a song that is so far beyond my talent level it’s not even amusing. Ok, maybe it is a bit amusing, but still.

 

I’m treating it as a challenge which is going to make me a better bass player. If I didn’t do that I’d just cry 😛

It's rare that any band I play with choose songs with basslines I can't handle but a rock band that I played with over the last couple of years insisted on picking a couple of Richie Kotzen songs (bloody drummer's suggestion). The basslines were b*ggers but the guitarists eventually decided it was too difficult for them to play convincingly and it was dropped.

 

Lucky me.

Bit of Friday night hubris. Thinking this will be easy as a way to unwind. Grooving away until I hit the Unison line around 2.55.

Running it slowly a few times and I'm just about getting it now. 

 

 

Did you learn this one too?

Started working on Memphis Soul Stew by the great Tommy Cogbill (been getting a lot of radio play and is also on a TV and). Blimey, it's a lot faster than it sounds on the radio. Good job it's only a short track as I'm finding it a really physical work out!

For the punk covers band i have to learn :-

1.  Nobody's Hero - SLF

2.  Gotta Getaway - SLF

3.  Dancing with Myself - Billy Idol

 

All great songs. I do enjoy the SLF songs as the bass player is pretty good.
