What's one song you ALWAYS mess up, no matter how many times you play it?

Dreams, Fleetwood Mac.

It sits on two chords for ever, then when it gets to the lovely little bass breakdown I've switched off and I miss it. Every time...

I didn't know it had a bass breakdown either. Perhaps I should force myself to actually listen to it.

Nah.

The very prominent bass solo(?) towards the end of 'Special Brew' by Bad Manners. It's simple enough but after a catastrophic balls up once, it plays on my mind through the whole song... 

 

Oh god, that's my nemesis in the ska set too. I bet I made a bigger mess of it than you did... :lol:

I’ve nearly lost myself quite a few times playing this, the main rhythm comes in on a few off beats throughout the song, I really have to concentrate 

 

I've seen Sly & Robbie many times - Sly Dunbar often goes off on a tangent but keeps the riddim going.

Must be those French cigarettes.

The 2nd solo section of Stevie Wonder's Masterblaster the final run down bit, I know exactly what it is doing but I keep missing a note out which throws the rest of the run out!

I spent ages learning that song and now its been so long since I have played it's fading from memory 😐

Similar thing happened to me with Teenage Kicks a while back, fortunately during a rehearsal - my mind went completely blank and I just stood there staring at my bass wondering where to put my fingers. Awkward 😧

I had one of those moments at the start of a song we'd played a million times. My mind went completely blank and I ended up just playing root notes.

I was afraid I was having a 'senior moment' but it's never happened since, so I'm pretty sure it's not early onset alzheimer's .

Ummmm, sorry what was the question......???
