waynepunkdude Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Give me some fun basslines to play any genre but I can't slap. I can't think of anything to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bm bm tsh! How about some Avenged Sevenfold? Not really my cup of tea but what little I got through was reasonably good fun.

Learning new bass lines would be classified as a non-emergency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmstone Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 One thing I'm half trying to learn at the moment, which seems pretty challenging is "watching the detectives".. the bassline seems to change for each bar! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I had Rush attack in the last couple of weeks, where I seem to go through their whole catalogue. I have been having these attacks since 1979.

That is the bass line I just can't stop playing at the moment. That's the great thing about Rush. I forgot the line because it has been years since I last played it so I had to learn it again.

Unusual for Geddy to use his now trademark Jazz at the time. He was torn between it and his Ricky at the time. The bass sounds fantastic on the whole album. Infact it's one of the best produced sounding albums ever I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
