For any guitarists who, like me, at some point picked up a bass and was like 'why didn't anybody tell me this was so fun?', the absolute hardest songs are going to be the ones with iconic guitar/melody (like Hotel California), and probably the best practice to learn what space the bass should take up and not just what noodly riffs you can play once you get used to the chonky strings.
I officially started hating my guitar after I started bass. Although, it was mostly because the guitar couldn't hold tune, so it was hard to learn on it.
If you ever do a second one of these, here are some suggestions - For Whom the Bell Tolls - Metallica - Feel Good Inc. - Gorillaz - Wrathchild - Iron Maiden - My Generation - The Who - Schism - Tool
Duran Duran- Rio The Clash- London Calling Talking Heads- Psycho Killer David Bowie- Sound and Vision The Specials- Nightclub The Smiths- Barbarism Begins at Home Blondie- Atomic Tubeway Army- Are Friends Electric Blur- Girls and Boys To name but a very few more.... Love your channel, keep up the great work!!!

Macca has around ten basslines even better than come together: Something, Hey Bulldog, Rain, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, I Want You (She's So Heavy), With A Little Help From My Friends, And Your Bird Can Sing, The Word, All My Loving, Eight Days A Week, etc.
Magical Mystery Tour is amazing. Listen very closely to the 4th and 5th notes of the song and be blown away by that click echo of those two notes. I can't get my head round how they sounded like that in 1967.
Wow...I knew every one. The Birthday theme actually worked out on more than a few occasions. Fortunately it was a kudos to me for knowing it being a bassist..however unfortunate because no one else could join in. But at the end of the day..the birthday girl felt special and had a good time. Mission accomplished. 👍
Personally I learn all kinda little jingles and songs on the bass. Pink Panther, Star spangled banner with distortion and embellishments.. absolutely fun. Jaws, Stars Wars, Holiday themes..really just anything catchy that's fun and people would recognize. You'll be surprised when those little do-dats or whatever come into play. Especially while interacting with the crowd.
If any of you here like 80's/90's punk, Pixies has some really fun and simple bass lines, great for beginners. I recommend Break My Body, Gigantic, Here Comes Your Man, & Veloria.
Now THIS is the content i signed up to you are AMAZING! You inspired me to practice more and become a better bassist. I have a band now and we are thriving
I've played bass since I was 13 years old. I didn't really get the feel for guitar. My dad gave me his old Fender Stratocaster. I got an old used 4-string bass, but it fell down the wall 2 years ago so I saved up enough money for about half a year to buy an ESP LTD Viper-104. Then I also got a used ESP LTD F-414FM. It looks amazing. I doesn't have to be brand new for me to like it. Look at my car for example. It'a a 1998 Volvo V70 2.5T. I bought it for 2000SEK (That's about 230USD) and all I had to do was change the rear brake kit, crank case ventilation and the battery and now it's almost like it's brand new.
@@KrisVesel dude I love playing Outshined on bass it's so fun. I use a pick to play it, I don't know if he uses a pick but I like playing it with a pick so I play it with a pick
I have been a hobby bass player for the better part of 15 years and this video made me realize how much funk and soul made me a bass player from childhood.
Not saying these were bad choices, but when I think bass, one group that immediately comes to mind is The Offspring. Their bassist is drastically underrated because his bass lines tend to be of a very simplistic nature, or seem to be so I’d like to hear someone say the bass line for “Hit That” is easy to play, among others
Excellent. I know how to play about 5 of those. Time to breakout the bass and learn the others. Love that you added the tabs because I can't read music. Also I'll have to pass on the slapping and popping ones since I can't do that. I practice but I just can't seem to grasp it. Thanks again for sharing.
Really like the way you present your videos, playing the bass lines so we can get the speed/tempo and being able to follow due to the Bass tabs shown in the frame. Great way to learn. Can I request you do bass tabs for Billy ocean when the going gets tough- cheers great videos
Thank you! Can't remember exactly all the settings 4 years after :) I used a GK 700RB head, pickups open and tone halfway, Logic Pro X and some plugins such as compressor and mastering tools.
this is kinda the same list that everyone puts, here are some good alternatives that are somewhat popular rush - yyz rush - limelight jamiroquai - runaway jamiroquai - deeper underground muse - time is running out muse - psycho metalhead ones that are rarely listed and I think should be more common metallica - call of ktulu metallica - creeping death dream theater - panic attack domination - symphony x
Finally a lefty bass player. People have been trying to convince me to play right handed but it never felt right (ha!). I have a left handed Hofner beetle bass and a p-bass that I love playing. Thanks for your videos 😊
He said please. He requested something for for next time. He was more than a trifle polite. When l said something, didn’t mean Beatles in the sentence. Although that would be nice.
Don't be afraid to let some of your notes bloom, your playing is very neat and tidy and you have great ability to play cleanly but if you have that level of control I'm sure you could add in some more flavour and feel in the relevant places by taking away some of that tightness and adding some flow. Let those notes talk to eachother.
@@LeftyBassman I have learned a lot from your videos! (I'm only a beginner). Thank you so much for putting this video and your many other tutorial videos out!!! 👍👍
Great video, love the one take and play along TAB with the drums. Must've been a lot of prep! I just uploaded a video with a similar Classic Bass Lines one for my newer students. I'll send them to you once they're done with mine!
Great video. Just a note: in I Feel good it's D-C#-D-C#-D-C# (frets 7-6, not 7-5 on the G cord) and C natural only on the descendant group. Same for the G-F# (not F natural) riff. Subscribed right now :-)

Pretty much for any instrument.
a lot of nirvana's bass riffs are underrated, like lithium or in bloom for example
I agree nirvana’s got some amazing bass lines. Lounge act has an incredible baseline and somehow always gets left out of conversation lol
Same goes for Soundgarden's Ben Shepherd - lots of really weird lines that barely fit, but make it all sound richer somehow.
Love buzz is a great one too
@@KrisVesel dude I love playing Outshined on bass it's so fun. I use a pick to play it, I don't know if he uses a pick but I like playing it with a pick so I play it with a pick
