What song are you currently/next "working on"?

I keep starting to work on a song that I love, get a few phrases down pat, and then become interested in another song and get a few phrases down pat, and

I accidentally started another thread like this so I will just come over here since @joergkutter kindly pointed me in the right direction. I am working on Schism by Tool and Maxwell Murder by Rancid breaking down the more difficult parts in to chunks

I’m really enjoying it @LesterH
Not too difficult and yet quite satisfying to play

@Mac Here is a link to Schism (Tool). I posted this because often times we just post a finished product of a cover. I wanted to share with others the hours of practice that goes into learning something new. I started working on this song about 4 or 5 hours ago with some breaks in there. This is not the whole song still figuring out the ending. There is a bit of a syncing issue between the video and audio but it is just practice. When I get it completed I will post it in the covers thread. https://bilgerats.billlanahan.com/2020/09/07/schism-tool-bass-practice/

I put “Love Me Do” on the back burner for now since I don’t have my Hofner to practice with.
I’m working on “409” by The Beach Boys, “Last Train To Clarksville” by The Monkees and “Wade In The Water” by Herb Alpert & TJB.

Last train is an awesome tune. Always forget about The Monkees when I’m looking at older stuff to play :+1:

Turns out the bassist on that track was Larry Taylor from Canned Heat, did a lot of session work for the Monkees

It’s a very simple tune as far as Maiden goes. Not really the usual Harris gallop and probably one of his easiest bass lines to try.
I’ve got 3 I’m looking at. The 2 I mentioned in my earlier post and 22 Acacia Avenue.
I can’t say I’m mastering them but I’m enjoying the ride lol

Ok so my current learning plans is some new melodic rock (80s hair style) from a band Steel City. Their lead guitarist Mike Floros writes most of thier songs is one of my college fraternity brothers so he’s gonna send me the actually bass notations to learn them. I’m gonna start with a song titled “A Little Love”

If you want check them out on spotify…
