Versatile Weaponry (songs for Fingers and pick use)

[Rogue Six]

I've been playing Bass for about a month, I've been reading and practicing theory But I'm getting bored of it. I was wondering if you guys could recomend me some songs to play. I'm really comfortable playing fingerstyle at the moment, I used to play guitar and I want to find some songs to play with a pick. Three or for songs for each style would be cool. I know I probably should of put this in beginner questions, but no one ever looks at it. Thanks Guys. :wave:

pick
beginner - anything by blink 182 :P
intermediate - any tool or motorhead really
advanced - there is no such thing as advanced picking on bass guitar >:P j/k

finger
beginner - passenger by iggy pop (great song)
intermediate - sympathy for the devil- rolling stones, your number is one- rollins band, NIB - black sabbath, ramble on - led zeppelin
advanced - any jaco pastorius, any primus

[Polyamarous]

For beginner picking look into earlier Green Day, stuff like Longview. It's a good idea to look for interesting bass in music you already know and enjoy aswell.

Pick:

Beginer: Tempus Fugit (Yes)
Intermediate: Maxwell Murder (Rancid)
Hard: Teen Town (Weather Report)

Fingerstyle:

Beginer: Cochise (Audioslave)
Intermediate: Teen Town (Weather Report)
Hard: Donna Lee (Jaco Pastorius)

Teen Town with a pick is murder.

And Schism isn't intermediate, especially not for someone who used to play guitar. It's not that complex.

[Akira]

For picking try You Can Kill the Protester But You Can't Kill the Protester by Anti-Flag then Maxwell Murder by Rancid.

[BassPlayingPineapple]

Fingerstyle:

Beginner: Another one bites the dust - Queen, very easy.
Intermediate: Lemon Song - Led Zeppelin
Hard - YYZ - Rush

[Duncster]

Fingerstyle:

Beginer: Cochise (Audioslave)
Intermediate: Teen Town (Weather Report)
Hard: Donna Lee (Jaco Pastorius)

Cochise to teen town... thats a pretty big jump! haha

I'd say a good beginner/intermediate fingerstyle song would be Anesthesia (pulling teeth) by Metallica. Check it out.

[Radiobass81]

Teen Town is THE intermediate fingersyle song, so it had to go there, and I couldn't think of anything better for begginer, so :p...

[Akira]

Could someone be nice and upload Teen Town?

awesome pick song.

[MyFriendOfMisery]

Is Blackened by Metallica that hard with a pick?

[Rogue Six]

What's No More tears played with? Pick or fingers. Maybe others could ask questions in here to, instead of just having a page full of song suggestion threads..
