I'm bored...

[popmusic_sux]

anyone wanna rattle off some intermediate bass songs?

keep in mind my particular taste in music and the fact that up here at school they put up a firewall so I can't download anything :(

[BassTallica]

hmm... id do anything by nickel back or 3 doros down.. you like that stuff right??

[popmusic_sux]

Indeed, I have the last two three doors down cd's so I could learn some of that.

The only song I really remember from my gig in June is the Starting Line's "Best of Me" but \ I changed around with it so much it was nothing like the original recording.

Right now I'm in the process of learning RHCP's "By the Way" and "Scar Tissue." Decent challenge, at least since I haven't played much since Summer.

[popmusic_sux]

I guess I'll go ahead and learn Papa Roach's "Between Angels and Insects." Just gotta find a way to play it on a 4 string... I'll think of something...

[Abaddon]

peace sells by megadeth that's the first one i learned. but it's not easy :|

[popmusic_sux]

Not so much a big Megadeth fan, I usually listen to stuff that has really easy bass parts (finch and the like) or really hard stuff (RHCP and the like) I'm more into the mellower type of music, which sadly enough, does not have very challenging bass parts... or very challenging bass parts... but not much in between, which is where I'm at right now

I tried can't stop, I think I'll try to learn it.

I looked on mxtabs.net (it was just easier) and it said to turn it down to C for papa roach, I did it and except for a little bit of buzzing it sounded pretty good.

3 doors down is very good... just because ya might not like their music dont mean they suck

and papa roach is horrible.. their first CD was "ok" but thats about it

[JackasS sonNY]

Well I love Papa Roach, but they're new cd really really sucks.

[popmusic_sux]

There are times where nu-metal is acceptable to me.

I'm much more of a Finch, Thursday, THrice kinda guy.

[_revel]

If youre feeling up for a challenge, you could try some of Primus'/Les Claypool's stuff. They have a lot of innovative bass lines.

[popmusic_sux]

I'm not a big fan of the music but I'm always up for a challenge, keep the suggestions coming

[rhcp182]

erm you could try stu hamm - moonlight sonarta

(i no its classical - not that thats bad -but its a bit of a challenge)

you can get it on mxtabs.net

[deftones]

deep purple - smoke on the water. im in the process of learning that now. not exactly hard but its not easy. it also sounds pretty cool.

[popmusic_sux]

Kool guys I'll look into all these, or at least the good ones over christmas break.

pop!:eek: i'm so disapointed in you! :( ;)

try iced earth stuff. not to hard and some of it is somewhat mellow. try ghost of freedom. im not sure if it even has a bass in it right now though. it's the only one i can tthink of that's mellow. actually in-a-gadda-da-vida is really fun and somewhat easy

[popmusic_sux]

I don't really like Iced Earth, it's not my cup o' tea.

[Abaddon]

*sigh* FINE! ;)

[popmusic_sux]

Heh it's ok I'm not into most kinds of metal, once in a blue moon I'll listen to some.

[rhcp182]

Red hot chili peppers - Right on time - The speed on this is what i say most difficult.

Red hot chili peppers - Aeroplane

Just two suggestions Aeroplanes really fun to play; really funky bass lines :)

good luck

[popmusic_sux]

I'm actually just starting to get into the Chili Peppers, what cd's are those songs on?

[rhcp182]

Yeah I've only got blood Sugar Sex Magic, Californication and the newest one, I forget what it's called my brain is kinda fried right now. Pretty soon I'll pop open a cold one and take a nap.

[BassTallica]

[popmusic_sux]

yeah that's it, boy was I exhausted last night.

I think I'll learn Times Like These from the Foo Fighters, as soon as I get an amp that actually works. I've figured out some of the guitar part already...
