I played For whom the bell tolls as one of my first melodies on the bass, pretty easy bass line and dont get confused by the intro, it is bass and it is easy, but I had a tab marathon at first.

One of the first songs I learned to play on my bass was "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. When it gets to the fast part with the drums its a lot of fun to play!

Suck my kiss- RHCP
EDIT: Hysteria by Muse is a good one. There's a thing on this site for it. Last edited by RedTears : 02-20-2005 at 02:01 AM. |

Clapton - Cocaine
Cream - Sunshine of Your Love Nirvana - Well, pretty much all of their songs Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit Those were my starters Stay away from Zeppelin tunes. They're deceptively difficult at times. If anyone knows how to play What is and What Should Never Be, you're a better man than I. P.S. Props to aerogirl - not because she's a chick bassist, but because that SNL skit is sweet. Christopher Walkin - yea. |

this one might be too easy, but Pretend We're Dead by L7 is the first one i learned... any bass line by a chick band is good to start on.

Try Sucker Punch by Five Iron Frenzy, it's a good one to learn/practice faster stuff on the lower strings. I myself don't have a bass, but it helped my friend alot who has one

i would have to say... even though i dont play bass i play guitar (same aspect) that system of a downs aerials would be a god bass start... it has slides palm muting bars and lots of individual picking... lots of good skills to have... ull notice n the song that the bass has a # of good skills to start off learning... its fairly ez for a beginner to pick up on as well...

Exactly try playing all of ironman its not so easy. Smoke on the Water is by far the easiest thing to learn. you only play 4 different notes the whole time Another good one is Boulevard of Broken Dreams-Green Day Good Luck  |
