The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve)

I really like playing this song, despite the fact that I have to play it using a pick, I simply cannot play the fills finger-style! :face_with_spiral_eyes:

It’s on our list of songs to learn for the band, although so far, we have only had a go at it once as our drummer is struggling with that rather full-on drum part!

Oh, I also love the story behind the song.

I love this song, always have, Pete Shelley was fantastic.

Nothing wrong with that, pick also fits the song better :slight_smile:

Hi,

Surprise! Another +44 cover! It has a phaser effect, but I don’t have a pedal and I’m a rookie, so I tried to compensate with palm mute technique. I hope that it succeeded and you will like it!

A doff of the hat to you guys who can play these Rush covers. Geddy is a beast! Sounded great!

Also, a reminder that this thread exists:

Agreed! I love Rush and never realized how complex the bass lines were until picking up the bass. Gonna be rad though, being 85 and playing Tom Sawyer in the nursing home :rofl::sign_of_the_horns:t2:

Don Felder - Takin’ a Ride (Heavy Metal)

This was a fun one - and the first time I’ve gone from not knowing a song to playing it competently within 24 hours. Just started learning it last night. I could quibble over a couple of mistakes but I won’t. I’m happy with this.

Well played, Duncan! Rockin’ tune!

Nice job! I think we may have the same bass (but mine is black).

You should definitely be happy with the end product for knocking that out in 24 hours. Sounds great! Yeah, looks like a fun one to play…especially that part when it gets to that G on the tenth.

Most of my practice time was spent on that little fill, especially with the slide into it. So satisfying to nail that part.

Geddy is the way.

Great job dude, you nailed it. Keep on posting the Rush songs.

I play a lot of Rush, everything else is like a warm up. Keep them coming… :jbass: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :+1:

The Invertants - Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve) (The Buzzcocks)

Hot on the heals of my bass cover of this song, here is a full cover of the song from last night’s band rehearsal. Recorded straight onto my iPhone - bass too loud, vocals and guitar too low and no drummer in shot.

Despite the less than perfect nature of the recording, we are now pretty much on top of the song!

@JustinAndSheba Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh, that cover makes me feel…..sanctified. Very funky, brother…well done! Well Done.

Right on, Nebel! That was GREAT….very cool version. Well played with that tricky timing. You and Justin are bringing the funk with a one-two punch!

Nice one, Duncan! Bass sounds great. Band is clicking…looks like a blast!

Emmylou Harris - The Boxer

From Emmylou’s 1980 bluegrass album Roses in the Snow. The White family (Buck, Cheryl, and Sharon) sang harmony vocals, Albert Lee played the mandolin and Tony Rice was on the acoustic guitar for this version. Song was of course written by Paul Simon and recorded by Simon & Garfunkel on the 1970 album Bridge Over Troubled Water.
