Jobiebass Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) Afternoon, Probably needless to say im a RHCP Fan, Im terrible at slap but trying to find some songs I know which would be easyish to learn by RHCP + good songs without slap. I can Play, califonication, Dani California, Soul to Squeeze (my fav song to play) Naked in the rain (slap, but cant do the bass solo) Coffee shop (slapped really badly) RHCP version of Higher Ground (badly) Edit: Aeroplane, (not too bad) probably 5-10 bits of other songs too, plus odd few other songs which I either gave up on or were pretty plain like "snow". Once tried learning hump de bump when it just came out, which I may have to have another look at as I liked the bass part. Anyone got any recomendations?? Thanks Jobie Edited June 8, 2009 by Jobiebass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildy Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Around the World is a great song and the bassline is fairly easy but damn good all the same. I sometimes muck up with the timing of the hammerons at the start, but apart from that it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gafbass02 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 yup stone cold bush is ace, used to cover that years ago, and nobody weird like me, although that one starts to hurt unless you remember to relax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobiebass Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Spent the last 5 hours trying to learn "Pretty little Ditty" Turns out im not good at playing guitar chord type things down the dusty end. Quite enjoying learning it though altho my fingers are pretty ruined now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arabassist Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 i thought that too. but its very similar to pretty little ditty. you just need to practice the plucking rhythm and ur sorted - the chord patterns are easy to learn and sound lovely! i started by playing very slow and speeding up once i got the jist of it.

arabassist Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 it used to be a bitch for me. but playing songs like if, hard to concentrate (and a couple of metallica stuff like 'my friend of misery') helped me get the whole bass chord crap...once after getting bored of plucking arpeggios i just strummed like a g-tardist and made one go "hmm....interesting..."
