Jobiebass Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Im in a quite happy smiley mood and want to learn a new song. Just been playing and singing along to Heroes by Bowie. Can you recomend me some songs to learn? Basically I want them to be pretty songs easy to sing (im a terrible singer) Nothing too complex bass wise (I strugle multitasking singing and bass) something that sounds nice with just bass and vocals Any recomendations would be great. Im into: Bowie RHCP The Doors (doesnt have a bassist so ill strugle haha) killers kings of leon Johnny Cash Joy Division The Who Stone Roses Oh and before someone mentions it. Not Pea by Flea. Thanks Jobie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Especially nice if you have a fretless but it works fine without. "Coming back to life" by the Floyd. This sounds really pretty with just a voice over it and it doesn't matter how slow you want to play it. Just a nice song that works well with chords. Just follow the first keyboard part and then keep it that tempo for the rest of the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 How about having a crack at Walk on By by the Stranglers, which sounds just like the Doors in the extended middle section and is great to jam along to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teen t-shirt Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I would suggest trying to find a song with a simple guitar line and vocals and transpose it to your bass one example I can think of is chasing cars by snow patrol.. bass line is boring as hell but take the part and put it on. Your bass and it puts a new dynamic on the song... easy to sing to... Hope that helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
