Kirky Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Get hold of Fromohio by firehose (if you haven't already). Mike Watt's basslines are all great fun on this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Do you play the album version or one of his live versions? He plays it very differently on each live recording, I really like the Atlanta Synchronicity Concert version. Do you drop D or maybe you have a 5 string. I love playing it on a fretless, on headphones along with the record, with the lights off. Have you heard/seen the version on the new Certifiable DVD? Glorious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its really nice to sing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidbass Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 So many great tunes listed here already - I'd learn them all! In the true spirit of Motown Friday, I'd recommend anything by Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye etc etc etc, the list goes on! Particular favourite If you come from a punk background (which I know you do!), it'll expand your playing repertoire beyond belief when you learn some of these sorts of stuff. Syncopated, non-root based playing at it's best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynepunkdude Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 I love Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay, one of my favourite songs ever, I find it a real challenge as the main problem with my playing is playing slow in time.
