Not a hard song to play but i notice that the bassline was a root and octave majority of song with some quarter and eigth notes in bridge and a couple of slides.
Figured it out on my own with a real sense of accomplishment. I know i deserve a “ were happy for you”
Well, I can't remember, really, but I guess the first song I learned on bass on my own was “Ska Sucks”, by Propaghandi. Also, Reason For Existence by Subhumans.
Sometimes if I'm just sitting around listening to a song I'll pick up my guitar or bass and start messing around with it and can usually make some good progress on my own. Whenever I get stuck on a part I look at a tab and sometimes I am pretty close to the song or pretty off. But hey, a tab is just how people perceive the music, I could be right.
Honestly, i used tabs for years before i tried learning songs by ear. I'm pretty sure the first bass line i figured out completly by ear was black dog but i was figuring out melodies way before i ever figured out a bassline. i think the first melody i ever figured out by ear was the trailer park boys theme.
Lmao speaking of Can't Explain I was scrolling through the Who tabs yesterday and saw this: I CANT EXPLAIN TOTALLY RIGHT IN ORIGINAL KEY G BASS TABS. It has two stars, obviously not totally right.
