Heard this last Saturday played by The Planks at the Banham Barrel and thought what a tune, got home and thought I'd give that a go....bash my balls I'm struggling it's seems so quick, maybe a tad too tough for a rookie like myself?

..if ya bored have a go and see what you think guys....I thought technical bass started in the 70's :blush: but this guy is good....it's also very different from what I normally play.

Any tips to make my pinkies faster?





this ones live, but the bass seems a little different, but wow can this guy sing :)

What's with all those strange numbers that don't make sense?

It's not a particularly difficult line. All you're really playing is a major arpeggio with a sixth on top- I,III,V,VI,V-with a little slide in to the third to make it a bit greasy,played over F and C.
Top tune though.

Slow connection but IIRC...this may sound like double time for the bass... ? but you could try and swing it to make it easier.

Take the 1st demo option by Conley..and don't get confused with what the gtr is doing.
That is making the song ping along and you can ignore that, IMO.

Play root, fifth..slide to the 6th, and octave. repeat that pattern over the main changes and let another instrument provide the frantic pace.
