Lorna Bennett 'Breakfast in Bed' has taken me longer than it probably should have, the chord changes kept catching me out, just about got it now though.

 

 

 

Next up is Jonny Nash 'Tears on my Pillow'.

Great choices there , such a good song, I remember Glen Browne did a video on that Bassline a few years back

Ah, nice - have just found that, it would have saved me some time! Still, was probably a useful exercise figuring it out myself.

Not bass but, i have been asked to cover on guitar for a good friend who's band has just lost both guitarists for an upcoming gig. So dusting off my guitar and learning some 90 minutes worth of vintage reggae classics.👍🏾🤪😁🔊🎶🎵🎸

A variety of vibes from Ska, Toots, John Holt, Wailers, Morgan Heritage, Beres Hammond, UB40.

I had pretty much paused my guitar playing to concentrate on bass, so this is a nice push to get my chops back as i do still have some nice guitars that deserve to be played.

The drummer, in my new band, is a big Richie Kotzen fan, so he's suggested some of his songs for the set.

 

The only problem is that he plays both guitar and bass on the recordings and he does insist on doubling the lead guitar with the bass.

 

The basslines he plays are difficult enough to play on guitar and are almost impossible for me to play on bass (if the guitar bends a note the bass does as well).

 

I've told the drummer he's banned from suggesting songs, in future, unless they're Status Quo.

Not gigging much lately and need some songs to practice with.

Id describe myself as 'intermediate' level. Any suggestions ?   

What style of music are you looking for.

I've just learned this and found it really good to play. Still to try in the band yet.

There are a few TABS for this but both are quite wrong but you will get the feel for it from using both TABS.

Or you can just learn by ear as i did.

I don’t know what you play Quilly but occasionally I like to funk it up a bit and play something different,  there might be some tunes here of interest 🙂
