12 bar Bues - killer easy
Deftones: Root -easy
System of a Down: Peephole- easy
Anything really by greenday - easy
Phish - Down with Disease - easy to moderate - Good slap with Drop D tuning
Phish - Llama Taboo - medium - it's pretty fast, but repetitive.
Grey Boy All stars - Jack Rabbit - pretty easy
Herbie Hancock - Chamelian - Easy, but the first notes are pickups and can throw ya.
Karl Denson - Unwind your mind - really easy - it's a 1-5 in C

Jerytheracecardriver get 1,000 cool points from me. Now we just have to post this in the normal forum and add some more advanced songs to the list. Songs for tapping, songs for slapping, songs for harmonics, songs for double thumbing. Songs for billy and songs for sue. Songs that love to be played by you. Songs that dance and laugh and sing. Songs that simply don't do a thing. Ok im done.

Sorry for going backwards a long way in time, but in the second post in this thread, "JerrytheRacecarDriver" said that RHCP - Higher Ground was a good beginners song. I view myself as a pretty handy bassist and i still have trouble with the starting riff in this song... Was this a mistake or does everyone just outclass me so incredibly? Personally, i suspect the latter of the two!

I have to say, if people are looking for a relatively easy piece to improve their rythym on the bass, they should try playing the Bass part for Led Zeppelin - Moby DIck... Apart from being a great song that's fun to play, it really gets you using a lot of the fretboard and is great for a general fun piece to play...

bassman21, I never said that Higher Ground was easy, merely that it was a good song for practising/learning slap with.

The riff itself is one of the simplest slap riffs I can name, but it does move at a speed which makes it tricky for some.

Nirvana- Smells Like Teen Spirit
Eye of the Tiger
Green Day- American Idiot
Nirvana- Come as you are

I'd say that the more advanced beginner would probably try Black Sabbath- NIB, and some Rage Against the Machine.

but i like the A-F icon

but a good song to start out with (if u wanna become a good punk bassist) is probable and anti-flag or rancid song...cuz after that you can pretty much play anything

try:

tsunami bomb - take the reins - easy - nice song, enough variation and easy-to-hear-what-you-are-playing
tsunami bomb - lemonade - easy - but maybe a bit tricky for reaaaaaal beginners
anti-flag - drink drank punk - easy - if you are a beginner who wants some 'more of the real stuff'
rancid - time bomb - easy - feeling like a good beginner?
rancid - maxwell murder - easy/moderate - almost moderate?

EXTREMELY EASY
It should be: 0--0--1-0-0-0-3--0--3
There is more to the song but this is the basic riff.
