As the title says.

Hello! I was wondering if anyone can help me choose some Year 12 HSC performance pieces. HSC is basically the music performance exam for Australia that you take in year 12 as a senior. I am not overly experienced, still at a fairly intermediate level however, so nothing too complicated please...

Hello, I'm planning to music university. It's sound engineering, but as it's in a usual music university there are entrance exams, and one of the parts is an audition where I'll have to play 2 songs in different genres. And because my main instrument is bass I wonder what songs I could play...

Hello, this is my first ever post on this site! I want to expand my repertoire, and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for cello songs that could be played on bass. Thanks!

My classic rock band has recently discussed adding some medleys to our repertoire. We are seven - drums, bass, 2 guitars, and 3 female singers. We do mainly classic rock, blues, and R&B - Tom Petty, Susan Tedeschi, Bryan Adams, AC / DC, etc. The songs don't necessarily have to feature female...

I also like the line "When I took another look/ The past was not a history book / That was just some linear perception."

what are some albums that, despite your musical journey through the years, you just keep coming back and listening to? whether in parts, a few songs, or in full. my picks are todd rundgren’s something/anything and chicago’s chicago transit authority. and by extension, i’ll also throw in the two...

Me and some friends are kicking around the idea for a recording project inspired by old 60’s-70’s garage rock. I figured I’d ask here about some favorite recordings, particularly for getting ideas for song structures (and BASS TONES!!!). So feel free to drop links to your favorite examples. If...

Hi All, I'm looking for some suggestions concerning a challenging/technical reggae bassline to learn. Any ideas? :) Here is an example of what I mean by "challenging/technical" reggae bass: And to get an idea of how/what I play on the instrument...

not “good” or “bad” production, not whether or not it sounds horrible in any listeners ear, but the era of production. the styles used, and typically they line up with 60s and 70s era songs. my interest goes away when i hear the way 80s and 90s songs are produced in such a lifeless way. it’s not...

I think one of the most influential for me was "I Got a Name" by Jim Croce. I know it was just a bunch of fill ins, but it was waaay more than 1-5-1-5-1.

I searched and couldn't find a thread for this specific niche, so here it is: a thread for songs/recordings related to/inspired by all things Pokemon! Feel free to post any fun facts along w/ the video/link, especially bass related facts. Here's one that my band SHEER COLD just released...

This kinda hangs me up every time I try to learn a song by ear so I thought I’d see what different opinions are. I find trying to learn a note for note bass line, even from notation, and especially from TAB, tedious and un-fun. Even when I do succeed I generally end up mentally changing the...

i’m sure we all enjoy being able to put on some headphones, turn on that amp of yours and play along with some of your favorite songs. but what band gives you the most satisfaction when dishing out the basslines? i’d say easily the beatles, i love love love paul mccartney’s melodic bass playing...

Hi all, I have been playing ALOT during these lockdowns and i'm getting a bit bored of the same songs and bluesy/ jazzy jams I have with myself. Any recommendations of some good melodic styled bass lines or solos I could have a play with? I like the style of victor wooten but they are rarely...

I just heard this in the grocery store, and got angry again. I mean it's such a classic tune with some genuinely groovy guitar and vocal work, and the Counting Crows are a talented group with some artistic credibility ... what could go wrong?

Any former Google Music users make the movie over to the recently released YouTube Music? I'm in the process of transferring my library now... fingers crossed.

I can’t remember mine exactly. However, I know it was either Lithium by Nirvana, Buggin’ Out by a Tribe Called Quest, or Can’t Stop by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I’m interested to see what others (i.e. you all) chose as that first song you just had to learn on principle alone. I find that I’m...

Just like the title suggests, what gets your vote for the perfect song? Feel free to list as many as you think are worthy. I'll start -- Richard Thompson's "1952 Vincent Black Lightning". It's just superb. I think it's the vivid lyrics and storytelling... but the melody and structure is...

Been playing almost 2 months with no musical background. I'm taking Talking Bass's Chord Tones Essentials course and loving it. My problem is learning/playing songs leaves me discouraged and directionless. I learn some basic songs which go well. Or I learn some riffs but I am not learning full...

You can't un-hear this - Shuggie Otis classic sampled for chorus of Color Me Badd's 'I Wanna Sex You Up.'

Name a song that you heard a bunch of times before the feeling REALLY hit you. For example, I must’ve heard Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away” hundreds of times before I was in the right mood to actually let the song hit my heart. Now it’s a favorite song of mine.

Hello! I'm a new bass player, I had my bass for a while and was on again and off again. I live in an incredibly small town and the nearest teacher is in another state. I have to learn on my own and a YouTube channel, Bass Buzz, has been a good help. It was going well, until I had to use my...

Songs, melodies, instrumental music, everything that corresponds for you to the definition of these terms. I'll start with this:

I've been on the hunt for some fun bass riffs in c standard tuning, mainly those in prog or technical death metal, but cant find many

I was listening to "Listen to the Music" by the Doobie Brothers yesterday and I noticed that it has a great walking bass line. It's on my list to learn. But I got thinking that there aren't that many rock songs that have walking lines. What other rock songs do you know of that have...

My band has a hard time trying to find easy-ish blues/rock song to play that include guitars, drums, bass, and piano. Any suggestions for a beginners band?

I have read so many times here on TB of people who refuse to play songs such as Sweet Home Alabama, Freebird and many other songs that they consider "cliche" or overplayed. I recently joined a trio in January with a singer/guitarist and drummer who are about 10-15 years older than me (i'm 49)...

I know that many of you have heard of the rare condition where people hear music as colors, defined as :Synesthesia a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. People who...

Like many, I've played lots of challenging stuff. Rush, MSG, RHCP, old school funk, Motown, 70s disco, even some Jazz :) ... Every once in a while though a seemingly super simple song pops up that I have to really work at to get right. My band just threw this at me for a gig this weekend. I...

There have been many sequel songs to hit songs. Some of the sequels also became hits. Here are a few to start. Can you think of other sequel songs? Harry Chapin - Taxi Harry Chapin - Sequel Lesley Gore - It's My Party Lesley Gore - Judy's Turn To Cry Dee Dee Sharp - Mashed Potato...

Well, let's be honest, Gene Simmons is an icon, no two ways about it and many of us picked up a bass thanks to him. Now we can take any Kiss album and find that it always follows a specific formula. 1. The sing along anthem. 2. The ballad. 3. The Gene song. So what is a "Gene song?" Well...

I need to get better with timing especially for faster pace songs. Does anyone have any songs and/or exercises to help?

Title says it all. For me it’s: 1. Slipknot- Custer 2. Mushroomhead- Mother Machine Gun 3. Korn- Here To Stay 4. Slipknot- My Plague 5. Slipknot- Heretic Anthem

Probably the wrong site, low enders, but I'm expanding my horizons musically, and the chances of being in a band. I got a Roland Juno DS 61 keyboard synthesizer last November and been learning more about it every week, you know, functions and how to play some songs with it. Since I know how to...

I have some pretty disparate influences on the bass. One of the bassists that I keep going back to is Rick Danko from the Band. It always struck me that he, as well as many others, were playing their own song in the context of the song being played. If that makes sense. I find myself playing...

Hello, my name is Miguel and I'm French/Spanish. At the end of this year I have to make a music final exam. But I don´t know what to play. This exam have to parts, the first one consists in playing in front of a jury. I have no problem in this one , I will play a Jaco song or a Wooten one. But...
