I listen to and have been listening to music a long time. Give me a song with a great electric guitar solo, or a terrific guitar riff and I’m a happy guy.
Something that makes me even happier is when a song has a great bass line. When it comes to bass guitars there are many outstanding musicians that know how to incorporate a great bass line into a song.
The next time you listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd, or The Eagles try and listen through the lead guitar and vocals, their songs usually have a really good bass line. Whether your a new bass player or have been playing for a while, a lot of their songs have bass lines that are not complicated but have enough to keep you busy, and they’re easy to learn.
Two song examples are “Already Gone” by the Eagles, and “Call Me The Breeze”, these two songs have a quick pace but are easy to play, and that makes them good practice material especially if you are a new bass player.
