Protoplm Mon May 18, 2009 2:12 pm

First song I ever really looked at and tried to play was RHCP - Suck My Kiss Very Happy

.

First song I could play all the way through was Skillet - Comatose.

It was probably Back in Black by Acca Dacca.

**ThreeLetterSyndrom** Mon May 18, 2009 4:11 pm

This is the Place by RHCP. Not too hard to play all the way through, it's the same riff over and over xD

Creep by Radiohead. First one on Dman's 'how to play'! Smile

No idea what was first song on bass. Cause at the time i was already on a band and we mostly played our own songs. But first song on guitar was nothing else matter.

Strange that! That's the first song I learnt to play as well!

Very Happy

that war your FIRST????

OMG...

I was listening to the whole Blood Sugar... album today for the first time ever (as I'm trying to play two of the songs already, Unter the bridge and Sir Psycho). When I was listening for this song I just thought "whoooooo... thanks god that the other two i'm playing are so much easier" Very Happy

I could never, ever play that stuff... not yet... maybe later.

it really isnt that hard, once you practice each part some it all fits together. the one tricky part for me is the little envelope filter solo in the middle, it has a weird slapping pattern with mutes that are difficult to get right. but besides that its pretty easy. sir psyco sexy is easy to play, but i am still trying to get the sound from my q-tron + pedal for it its maddening how difficult it is to get the right sound lol

Fuzzy Tue May 19, 2009 12:02 am

yeah creep was my first too cheers

McSnuggles Tue May 19, 2009 12:48 am

Stand By Me. I learned the bassline on guitar before I even played. Razz

First one after I had started playing bass... I think Come Together.

keizer Tue May 19, 2009 5:32 am

I know its kind of a lame one

U2- with or without you

Malastare Tue May 19, 2009 8:49 pm

The first song I can remember playing through properly on the bass was "Dedicated Follower Of Fashion", the classic Kinks song.

**Dmanlamius** Tue May 19, 2009 9:12 pm

They seek him here....they seek him there....

Malastare Tue May 19, 2009 9:30 pm

One of my absolute dreams is to realise Ray Davies' vision and play that song at a Tory Prime Minister as he leaves Downing Street. Guerrilla punk band satire attack!

**Dmanlamius** Tue May 19, 2009 9:38 pm

Ha Ha, Awesome!

I was gonna do a bass lesson of Sunny afternoon ages ago, but I didn't think many younger people would know who the kinks were! Sad

Malastare Tue May 19, 2009 9:41 pm

everyone knows the Kinks, surely? In my mind they are musical touchstones.

**Smaz** Tue May 19, 2009 9:44 pm

LESSON, NOW.

Thanks.

I love The Kinks.... Smile

Guzco Wed May 20, 2009 1:26 am

It was Metallica - For whom the bell tolls.
After getting the intro down the rest was pretty easy to learn at the time.

Lassepetri Wed May 20, 2009 9:14 am

radiohead - creep. easypiecy

HBMDave Wed May 20, 2009 10:13 am

Sunshine of your love, the Yardbirds closely followed by Hey Joe.

Faceslide Wed May 20, 2009 5:28 pm

*edit*
