Songs aren’t terribly difficult individually, but just the target to be able to play a full album is something to conquer. Also, these are some fun songs with some really interesting rhythms. Not a left hand challenge as much as a right hand challenge.
Right now my target songs are whatever is on the 100 Song list that Josh put together. I haven’t gotten to that point yet, but I’ll start at the easy ones and go from there.
Long term and dorky: I want to be able to play both simple bass and melody while singing and hitting a kick drum to Nilsson’s “Coconut,” one-person-band style, yo. Check back in a year or so?
Lot of fun stuff here; I look forward to being able to play even a third of these reliably. Joan Jett is a rewarding addition. OTOH, you forgot Lemmy’s ümläüts.
Love this song, it’s in my main rotation on YouTube music. I want to say Danny Sapko has a video somewhere where he thinks they were the inspiration for Spinal Tap.
This is stupid but I loved to play this reel on the violin and was always curious if it could be played on bass. I guess it can
Anyone wants to struggle with me?
”Drowsy Maggie” copied from violin sheet music using the free noteflight version:
Absolutely! I was amazed by how much you can do in the free noteflight version, the possibility to listen to the scores helps a lot
The translated song is unfortunately way too hard for me still, but I’m having fun trying to play a familiar tune bit by bit.
My biggest struggle at the moment is to keep breathing while playing and not getting too confused with the plucking hand . In the triad lesson I started plucking with 3 fingers when attempting to do the thumb move from pickup to e-string .
Psycho Killer is a great song and fun to play, but for me at first it was quite the workout, like going to the bass gym, it’s busy, I’d sweat a bit while playing it, but that didn’t last long, it was one of my goals.
