Can anyone recommend any good/easy songs to play on the bass ??

Question

Thanks for the help so far i want to be able to play a song before i get into it properly and buy a bass

So has anyone got any good easy songs that they learnt as a beginner??

Thanks x

Answer 1

Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes (fact that its actually a guitar two octaves down is beside the point)

New Year's Day - U2

Money by Pink Floyd is a fun one to try

Answer 2

i've just started bass too

my favourite songs are...

cuyahoga (REM) - http://www.bassmasta.net/r/rem/120284.ht...

and

rock lobster (the B52s) - http://www.bassmasta.net/b/b_52s,_the/14...

cuyahoga is a beautiful song for bass, i love playing it every time i pick up a bass... like nightswimming with piano...

Answer 3

i remeber learning the red hot chilli peppers, otherside

and early beatles songs are easy

go to www.powertabs.net, im not sure if its totally up and working yet, but go check it out

its such a good site! you download this program which will let you download music to play. they have just about EVERY SONG avalible, and when you download it you get it in tab and in standard notation. you can play along with it on the computer, its got a metronome built into it and yeah you download songs that ahve bass/drums/guitar/piano/ etc. parts

honestly, ive looked on the internet for other sites like this and there is nothing, in my opinion, that compares! you might be able to access the site and search for some songs, but you might not be able to download the songs yet!

you can even compose your won music on this thing!

anyways, so for some easy beatle songs:

from me to you

she loves you

i want to hold your hand

cant buy me love

a hard days night

eight days a week

anything off of the please please me album

that should be a good start!

you can also go toa music store and actually buy a book of beatles music  or there are tons of other bass books out there that have popular songs in them.
