Up around the bend CCR and the remake version by Hanio Rocks.

To be honest its probably a toss up between The wall by Pink Floyd. or sitting on the dock of a bay by Otis Redding. I learned them both in the same general time frame. But if I had to pick the most fun one I’ve learnt to play. it would be The elephant riders by Clutch, or The devil went down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels band.

I wouldn’t dare to say that I got it 100% perfect, but I did have a couple of decent run throughs of Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart. 
Also, +1 on Disorder by Joy Division. Still struggling a bit to get it up to the right tempo, though. Especially that one bar. Those who tried probably know what I mean.

Yup! I actually just posted an example of it at the end of this overdrive test 
That descending bit at the end of that clip is pretty hard for me at tempo, especially as it pops right back up to the G string.
There’s also the bit in the outro that is interesting.
Every tab I ever found for this was also done in a more challenging way than necessary and some were just wrong.

Don’t worry about Bonny Tyler guilt. I still occasionally play “ Holding on for a hero”

Oh, I’m not worrying. I enjoy my cheesy 80s with pride. 
Exactly. That, and not running out of steam for three minutes.

Running out of steam is something I’ve encountered twice over the last couple of days attempting the dreaded Billy Jean in its entirety ( no I don’t know why but it seemed like a good idea at the time) and “ The Number of the Beast” by Iron Maiden. How Steve Harris plays a full playlist is quite amazing!

It was “Psycho Killer” by Talking Heads for me . . . I like to think I play it just like the original, but my technique can always use improvement

we obviously need a cover to figure out, Joe @Jazzbass19 
… and I did not answer myself, I think it could have been Nervous by Brassy. we used to play this song with Kernel Panic as an interlude, at the time I was the guitar player but we swapped our instruments for two songs, so I played this song with the bass.

“Pour Some Sugar on Me” by Def Leppard (via Rocksmith). It’s a pretty simple bass line, but the fact that I could play an entire song that I liked was encouraging.

Haha, yes, so far all I play are simple bass lines (even for my original songs) but that is one thing I love about this bass journey so far. I can play simple stuff but at the same time try to do it well, keep good timing, and have fun- but in the end, I’m actually making music!

Breed, by Nirvana.
It was a moment I’ll never forget.
Figuring out for the first time how to play music I was listening to. I cracked open the biggest musical door ever. Totally magical.

I guess it was the same as yours for me, @lee_editorial… or perhaps “Roxanne”… or “Walking on the Moon”… in any case a song by the Police!

I have been trying to remember the first song I played in its entirety for the last week.
I think it was “the Eagles” Lyin Eyes, or Try and love again.
Cheers Brian
