Woo Hoo by the 5,6,7,8's

It helps build up pinky strenght and swapping between strings very well

Incubus- Are You In, Battlestar Scralatchtica: Relatively easy, and Battlestar will prove to be a great project for you to learn. Both sound very funky too.

a really good song to play for practice that's i guess moderate if you're a beginner is jesus of suburbia - green day. i'm a beginner and i learned it fairly fast. a lot of repeats. it's just really long to memorize.

it's definitely not moderate, really its very beginner song, like on a scale of beginner its like this:

BEGINNER
easy moderate hard
||
^its like there

i mean i can play it off the tab straight away looking at it now, i can just play it off and ive not tried learning it before, not bashin you are anything.

just about any my chemical romance song ever made

yeah thats true mcr is so easy

Pearl Jam-Elderly woman behind the counter.........

any moderate Afi or rancid

Money, Time, Set the controls, pink floyd
southbound pachyderm, primus
brain stew...almost any old greenday
one of my fav. little riffs to play is in the hall of the mt. king, just the main part
blitzkrig bop, ramones ..i prolly killed the spelling
april 26th 1992, sublime
black magic woman

Easy IMHO
 

I've only been playing bass about a month or so, and just had my first lesson...here's what I've learned so far and they are easy for me...

Weezer - Undone (the sweater song)
White Zombie - more human than human
Frank Sinatra - Fly me too the moon, a cool song and fairly easy to play, will work your pinky, at least it does for me.


Those are the only songs I know from start to finish, but they are easy.

a real good beginner song is
mama didn't raise no fool-primus

[B]Let's Get Retarted[/B] by The Black Eyed Peas
[B]Time is Running Out[/B] by Muse

Queen has lots of good basslines. and jungle man by RHCP is a good slap song as well

I've just started playing the bass and found the following songs stupidly easy to learn [I also had NO musical background before bass, apart from attempting guitar but I was poo at it]

Greenday - Wake me up when september ends
Oasis - Champagne supernova
Oasis - She's electric [little bit more fiddely but really fun to play]
Oasis - Don't look back in anger [love playing this one <3]

Ramones- I wanna be your boyfriend
Maroon 5- This Love

reptilia-the strokes? You must be a good bassist if you find that easy

Help
 

i AM AN OLD BASS PLAYER WHO IS USED TO PLAYING WITH CHORD CHARTS.(THE LETTERS OVER THE WORDS). I DONT UNDERSTAND THE TAB CHARTS VERY WELL. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS A SITE THAT I CAN FIND THESE IN.CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME? THANKS. ROCK ON

[QUOTE=dannyt1251]reptilia-the strokes? You must be a good bassist if you find that easy[/QUOTE]

Reptilia isn't really that hard.


Hysteria - Muse
Sweet Child O Mine - G n R

Blink 182-Carousel
Guns n Roses-Sweet Child of Mine
Velvet Revolver-Slither

I know this one is suggested before: The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army... This song is really good practice when it comes to hiting the right frets! Not for the average bassit though, cause you should be able to do this song! But good good practice for the beginners!!

correction: bassit = bassist :P

I Feel Good by James Brown
Nice Beginner Funk Bassline

happy birthday-little children-unnecessarily easy

haha

ahm... many of metallicas songs are quite easy.... especially Until it Sleeps... that's a must for beginners, i promise u that!

now don't be a fool, stay cool!

[QUOTE=bassist105]How is bombtrack easy man? I can play "Pet" - Aperfectcircle, but I can't play bombtrack, how does that work?[/QUOTE]

I understand it, I just can't be assed to do the fingering...

Man, thanks for this thread and everyone that has listed easy tabs here.
I have only read 7 pages and I got like 10 new bass tabs to practise.
I came to these forums asking for tabs fitting a bassist who yet has to practise his
bass playing on a electric guitar O_o
Well, I found this thread and the rest is known...

Flashlight is a groovy little song.. P-funk

Here are some real easy ones.

Blink 182 = all the small things
Nickleback = how you remind me
Nirvana = territorial pissings

Not much to any of these, keep it simple and groove. :wave:

Might come as a bit of a shocker, but believe it or not, you have to do the fingering to play the song.

:rolleyes:

Losthate: The bassline on Metallicas' My Friend Of Misery (or something, not a Metallica-pro ;P) is quite simple, but catchy! I enjoy playing it alot! You find tabs on mx-tabs.net!

Metallica - Enter The Sandman
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
