[Zion Gates]

[dan02345]

money by pink floyd

[Twizzler]

Lemoley: The only part that might be too hard to do is the drums, the bass and guitar is really easy. My guitarist and I play it from time to time as a warm up.

A drummer friend of mine did mention that the drums are really hard in that song once though.. *shrug*

It's one bar looped throughout the whole song, I can see how that would be boring but not exactly hard.

Mine was Hash Pipe by Weezer also.

[bleeding_fingers]

Around the World- Red Hot Chili Peppers. I still can't do all of the fills.

[nicatterberry]

Last Hour of the Last Day of Work- Less Than Jake.

[Matthew2250]

Day Tripper I think it was. But the first song I learned end to end was enter sandman.

[Dead Star]

I don't know how you can learn a Red Hot Chili Peppers song as your first.

Like just picking up a bass and wiring into it.

I can't even play them yet, and I've been playing for around a year now.

[Pinhead13]

pennywise - bro hymn

[bassistuvdoom731]

Hysteria. It was, after all, the song that inspired me to pick up bass.

[mastrrbasser]

"a show of hands", by victor wooten, or was it "chromatic fantasy" by Jaco.

[ShetaN bRaT]

Smells like Teeeeeen Spirit ...

First one that took me more than 5 minutes get ...

"Long Distance Runaround" by Yes.

[Low_End_Communications]

The song that made me choose bass over guitar was "Rearranged" by Limp Bizkit. It took me quite a while to learn entirely, and in the 2 months it took me to perfect that, but I learned Smells Like Teen Spirit in a coupla days.

[bottlerocket]

I'm pretty sure it was "Dammit" by Blink 182. :lol:

:thumb:

-Gav

[tomtom]

i learnt smoke on the water, i later found out that the really famous part that i learned was for guitar, so i looked into getting the proper bass bit and ended up gettin seven nation army ............................

[Jabawanga]

Gotta Get Away - Offspring

[Sammy_L_D]

Scales, fingering patterns, 12 bar blues, and all that jazz.

The first actual song though was Paranoid Android by Radiohead...the only song I actually enjoy by them.

[eriatarka]

summer holidays vs punk routine by refused.I wish i could remember it,its a fun song. :upset:

[Tryxx]

Umm... I knew the riffs to Smoke on the Water and What I've Always Wanted without knowing what they were.

Like a Stone and 96 Quite Bitter Things I believe were my first.

[Az_Holl]

I'm pretty sure it was "Dammit" by Blink 182. :lol:

:thumb:

-Gav
I learnt the guitar part for that on my bass which is IMO much more interesting.

I think my first song was either Black Night- Deep Purple or Suck My Kiss- RHCP

[Orange Fog]

RHCP - Soul To Squeeze.

Alot of RHCP songs are really not that hard at all....

[Purple Alien]

Intro for Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne, i don't remember the first song i played all the way through...probaly Smells like Teen Spirit or Longview

[classicalsauce]

"sweet dreams" by Eurithnics.

[Chris K]

It was FBI byt the Shadows for me, just a really easy bassline but hard to get fluent when you're a n00b.

[Dayaan]

I think it was either Schism or Smells like teen spirit

[Speedsta]

Deuce by Kiss.

[fatwreckpunk]

probably some cheesey blink 182 song at the time, oh well

[shacklecrow]

the chain - fleetwood mac :thumb:

[xxxCarouselxxx]

Feel Good Inc or Carousel one of the two. :lol: Carousel was actually pretty hard but it was a good song to learn first because it taught me to use all of my fingers. Cheers Angas. :naughty:

[tomtom]

Feel Good Inc or Carousel one of the two. :lol: Carousel was actually pretty hard but it was a good song to learn first because it taught me to use all of my fingers. Cheers Angas. :naughty:
feel good inc's a pretty sweet line. it's really groovey and catchy, and fun to play. sounds sort-of jazzy in a way

[nathan123]

Lemoley: The only part that might be too hard to do is the drums, the bass and guitar is really easy. My guitarist and I play it from time to time as a warm up.

A drummer friend of mine did mention that the drums are really hard in that song once though.. *shrug*
Dont forget there drummer is travis barker though - theres no such thing as hard for him lol.
Anyway i think i learned to have and have not by lars and the bastards

[Chris K]

Feel Good Inc or Carousel one of the two. :lol: Carousel was actually pretty hard but it was a good song to learn first because it taught me to use all of my fingers. Cheers Angas. :naughty:

[Gino]

Probably some song by Weezer... I can't really remember.

[Skinhead On The MBTA]

I have to say, it was Brain Stew. My Dad wanted me to learn Money and The Chain, so I did that as well.

[Marly]

Jimmy Eat World - Get it Faster

[peeted]

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit. The number one newbie song.

[ChimPz]

The Pink Panther theme!

I still play it every rehearsal or gig. Always gets a laugh :lol:

[DaveSavesTheDay]

I dont even remember. I think I do. It was the 12 bar blues line in G.


Me Too !!

[BenJammin]

Uhh... the first song I learned was "New Beginnings" by Finch. :upset: The whole song is 3 freaking notes, and I thought it was vaguely challening because I couldn't keep up the stamina to play it the whole way through and thought the gap between third fret E and eighth fret E was huge... (I had no concept of octaves, then).

[Raiven]

My Own Summer (Shove IT) by Deftones
Faget by KoRn

[Jody LeCompte]

I think Bombtrack, maybe Long view

I dont remember much

[Marly]

"My Own Summer (Shove IT) by Deftones"

A fine bassline, simple but the way it just comes in is so effective. One of my first too

[cAPS_lOCK]

Uhh... the first song I learned was "New Beginnings" by Finch. :upset: The whole song is 3 freaking notes, and I thought it was vaguely challening because I couldn't keep up the stamina to play it the whole way through and thought the gap between third fret E and eighth fret E was huge... (I had no concept of octaves, then).

There is no E on the third fret, nor on the eigth fret, unless you're tuned like C#-E-Ab-D-G.

[Deacy]

Another One Bites the Dust :)

[LewsTherin]

There is no E on the third fret, nor on the eigth fret, unless you're tuned like C#-E-Ab-D-G.

perhaps he just meant 3rd fret on the E-string to 8th fret on the E string.

yeah i know its easy but I like the song.

[PaulR]

AFI - Days of The Phoenix.

[neal_672]

RATM - Bombtrack. Jumped in at the deep end methinks but it paid off in the end, meant i missed out doing all the naff Blink 182 stuff mosty people do...

[shadow316]

-Human - Metallica (S&M)

[BenJammin]

perhaps he just meant 3rd fret on the E-string to 8th fret on the E string.

This man knows the score. Hurray for poorly worded sentences!

c)'joker' -Steve Miller

i think it's rancid but i'm not positive

[Munky_Jam]

apparantly they don't play that song live as its too hard for them......
they played it live in newcastle (Australia) last year

[Munky_Jam]

either Longview, Iron man or Ina-gada-divida (or what ever) and also a whole bunch of nirvana and pearl jam at the same time (I joined a band that my friends needed a bass player for and I wanted to play so they made me learn fast - I previously played guitar and piano but i had to gig within a week of starting playing

the song that took my virginity was pink floyd - money. i was addicted to that song

[Flopfoot]

My first song was 'Stand by me' a song so ridiculously easy I'll even post it here. I'm pretty impressed that some people's first song was stuff I still find hard - Spirit of radio, around the world, hysteria....

Metallica - Enter Sandman
Nirvana - Come as You Are
Metallica - Orion

[Bass_swede]

It seems like Nirvana is on top of the list of the "first-song bands"

[Liebensaft]

Doesn't say much for the level of talent amongst the ol' Cobain crew, eh?

They are so heavily praised because their singer killed himself. They're just an average band propelled to god-like fame.

Chick Magnet by MxPx

[timmySmi]

RATM - Killing In The Name

YYZ by Rush:lol:

seriously, it was Money by Floyd
but i learned the intro to Dazed and Confused by Zeppelin before i even got into bass, so I think that counts too?
Whatever.

Carousel I think. First song my band learned was Song 2 by Blur.

[The jazz metal flum]

I don't know, but the one of the first ones I started playing as a warm up was joe satriani's 'hand's in the air'

my first was holiday


Love that song :)

blvd of broken dreams - greenday

[Jake_badass_bassist]

I got a bass mag and cant remember if it was Jet - Are you gonna be my girl or Blink 182 - Whats my age again....i hate both those bands....very strange.....

[muthafunkabass]

crazy train!!!

[Teh Glees0rz]

I think the first song I tried to learn was Muscle Museum by Muse, mainly because it looked easy.

Probably because of this bit:

G --------------------
D 4-4-4-4------------
A -4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--
E -----------4-4-4-4-

Then it got harder (my fretting hand wasn't dextrous enough and I could only pluck with one finger), so I gave up. :thumb:

[godzillarator]

They are not great musicians but its the feeling in the band

U dont have to be a god on ur instrument to be good in music

[Liebensaft]

They are not great musicians but its the feeling in the band

U dont have to be a god on ur instrument to be good in music
Which is very prevalent in punk music especially. 3 chords and a 4 note bass line repeated for a couple minutes is a pretty standard recipe. It's not the music. It's what you do with it.

[godzillarator]

Yep

[BigShoes]

she by greenday

[namesareoverrated]

I guess you mean London Calling? :confused:

Fun Fact: The Clash made more than one album.

My first was Last Resort by Papa Roach. I will always use the excuse that I didn't pick it, and even at one month of playing I thought it was easy, but **** it, I liked the song as well as everyone else in my band.

I'd like to mention that some of the songs mentioned, notably Day Tripper, are a lot harder when you're singing and playing about twice as fast as the original recording. Yay punk rock.

[Mailman]

or it might be that they introduced grunge, therefor killing '80's rock'....
Uhh

Thats really debatable. Nirvana were just the big winners out of grunge - they didn't really start it. You could say Green River or Soundgarden just as easily.

Anyways, my first song was Guerilla Radio. Transferring from Sax to Bass is a bit harder...

[Jim Hull]

My first was Teenage Dirtbag

[black-knight]

ATWA by system of a down

[sp8600]

Come as you are - Nirvana

[Jody LeCompte]

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star :upset:


The first real real song I learned was probably Bullet in the Head.

[darrell]

On guitar, it was a very, very half-assed version of Enter Sandman. If I try to find my old computer, I might be able to put it off of it. It was terrible!

On bass, I'm not sure... I think I started by learning a ton of guitar riffs for some reason. Can't remember which one came first though....

Edit: I also have a version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star I recorded on the same day all on one string. :lol:

[nerdbert]

I think it was pretty fly for a white guy by the offspring, or longview, cant remember.

[joe herbert]

did none of you guys&girls go about it/learning bass/first steps via simple punk? Ramones? anyone?

my first song was the epic - Blitzkrieg Bop or maybe it was Beat on the Brat humm

those were the days... when i knew of no real great bass players to live up to

Thats really debatable. Nirvana were just the big winners out of grunge - they didn't really start it. You could say Green River or Soundgarden just as easily.

sorry, by introduce i didn't mean start. i meant introduce it to the world of 'mainstream media' which i've been hating a lot lately.... anyway, sorry for not being more specific. (btw, i dont consider soundgarden grunge, but a kick *** band either way)

[JESUS'S BASSMAN]

"Smoke On The Water" - Deep Purple:thumb:

[Seven7]

I think for me it was either "Livewire" by AC/DC or "Stealin" by Uriah Heap.




Oh yeah, and if Soundgarden wasn't part of all things "grunge" then there was no "grunge". IMO
