any songs that would be good for a bass to start out? i know some simple riffs like feel good inc and stuff like that jus wondering if there where whole songs witha simple easy groove to them?
Ted Nugent Stranglehold has a really catchy bass line that repeats through out most of the song, the bassist plays with some distortion but it still sounds awesome when you play without it.
For another kinda simple song that sounds really cool when you are playing by yourself, Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine is really fun to play.
Pretty much anything by Nirvana, the Cranberries, the Ramones With or Without You by U2 Possum Kingdom, Away by Toadies Learn to Fly by Foo Fighters La Grange by ZZ Top Billie Jean by Michael Jackson Trouble Me by 10,000 Maniacs Angel by Aerosmith Wicked Game by Chris Isaak Hungry Eyes by Eric Carmen Breaking the Law by Judas Priest Goodnight Moon by Shivaree Creep by Stone Temple Pilots Mexican Radio by Wall of Voodoo
Hold Your Head Up by Argent would be a good one for those just starting out, but will get old fast. Here are some others: As the Sun Still Burns Away - Ten Years After The Furor - AC/DC On the Beach - Neil Young Beds are Burning - Midnight Oil (I'm not your) Steppin' Stone - The Monkees
Well, depending on the music you want to play, it's always easy to find something by Death Cab For Cutie (the easiest being ‘I Will Possess Your Heart’ and a more difficult but fun to jam to song being ‘Crooked Teeth&rsquo. If you're into different music, the list below outlines some stuff I have learned (I'm relatively new to this also). -'Pick Up The Pieces' Average White Band -'Reptilia' The Strokes -'25 Or 6 To 4' Chicago -'Play That Funky Music' Wild Cherry -'Longview' Green Day -'Pumped Up Kicks' Foster The People
The music publisher Hal Leonard has a series of “Bass Play-Along” books. One volume features easy songs. The eight songs they consider to be easy are:
Blink-182 - All The Small Things Beatles - A Hard Day's Night The Police - Roxanne Van Halen - Runnin' With The Devil Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit Cream - Sunshine Of Your Love The Troggs - Wild Thing U2 - With Or Without You
I know when I first began, I enjoyed playing Another Ones Bites the Dust by Queen and Maneater by Hall and Oates too.
