Hey all.

As of yesterday, Ive started to learn to play with index finger, middle and thumb

As Im still pretty new at it, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any songs I could use to get better at it. Mainly any song that you could use that technique for.

As stated above, Im new to it, so no songs that are leik rael hard n stuf plz

Please and thankyou XD

Marlowe has a handful of licks that he has made up, and plays slowy so they can be learnt which may be helpful to you. Check here for one:

Thanks for that!

Ive always gone straight past that site cause 'playbassnow' sounded like too much like 'Learn 3 killer guitar secrets' and 'Be a bass god in 3 days' that you see on the side of sites *embarrassment*

Thats pretty much exactly what I was looking for.

Well. Technically it isnt, but its BETTER

so Ill count that to a win

Here, Ill give you some rep- OH THATS RIGHT!

Jokes. =]

Thanks yee again

If you can ever think of any advanced songs [Im in preference to metal, personally, but when playing Ill give anything a go Smile , throw them here and Ill write them on my 'To Learn' list.

Yes, I have a physical, on paper. to learn list <.<

In Dman's Orion lesson he shows it using his thumb...
It's not particularly hard at all but I thought I'd mention it since you said you're into metal.

Thats actually what it was that started me on it. Id always wanted to, but Id never seen a video tutorial on it, then I saw that and I was like=O! So I played a few other songs I knew using that.
Im also planning to learn the rest of orion later tonight after work [As you can clearly tell, I work pretty hard =P]
I also want to learn Comfort In Cold Blood - Break the Silence but I just cant learn those kinda riffs by ear >.<
Its probably harder to find the song then learn it Razz

Everyone should hear that opening riff, I love it XD
