Ok, this is mainly just to see if there’s anyone else here. But what’s your favorite bass line to play?
You must log in or register to comment.
Getting my first bass tomorrow, lessons start on Thursday… if I could pull any one song out of the ether and play it perfectly it would be Higher Ground.
Either version :)
I’ll necropost here. I love the Motown bass lines, stuff like
- “What’s Going On”
- “Signed, Sealed, Delivered”
- “Bernadette”
- “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”
Other songs I have enjoyed playing are:
- Hysteria by Muse
- Runaway by Jamiroquai (but also Runaway by Bruno Mars)
- Can’t Feel My Face by The Weeknd
- everything by Stevie Wonder really, though “Jammin” is one of my comfort songs to play
But I just started playing fretless so now I’m learning:
- “Wuthering Heights” by Kate Bush
- “Wherever I Lay My Hat”, Paul Young’s cover of the Motown classic
- “Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down” by Paul Young
Not ready yet for Kate Bush’ Babooshka and Paul Simon’s “You Can Call Me Al” though I suppose I could get started with some other songs from the Graceland album if I want to eat the fingerboard.
Any other suggestions for a fretless beginner who loves the “mwah” sound?
