I bought a bass guitar for some reason

[Ram27]

It was $50

I want to learn some groovy Pumpkins basslines

What't the easiest song on bass (don't say all of them)

I can kinda do Cherub Rock and a little bit of BWBW

My fingers can't move fast enough to do the 16th notes in Quiet though

[SP MediaMilitia]

Rocket is a decent guitar to learn bass with. Geek USA and Where boys fear to tread have some more interesting riffs

[The exploding boy]

yeah rocket is cool enough overall. easy but not totally completely boring.

Rhinoceros.


fuck its been years since i played any, not since the early learning years basically. Whats the cool one on machina, raindrops + sunshowers? yes, thats the one.

[The exploding boy]

here is how much i dont listen to gish and never liked it




that's crush i meant. why did i think rhinoceros? i dont even remember how it sounds now.

[The exploding boy]

after having listened to rhinoceros yeah, its not too bad either as far as beginner level basslines go.

[The exploding boy]

i don't like the psychedelic shit. favorite era was MCIS to Machina. Basically the more they moved away from psychedelia or big riffs, the better. Yes i like the poppier pumpkins.

humma

i am one was written off its bass riff apparently so that'd probably be a pretty fun one to riff off of

[panda show]

I think you should buy a pick..

soma is a pretty easy one on bass.. it's not really interesting though

[FoolofaTook]

get the one with six strings next time if you want to play tsp

i don't really get this by the way
do you mean your right hand (assuming yer just playing a right-handed guitar) can't pluck the strings fast enough? in which case, listen to panda show

as far as the notes themselves, songs essentially just goin up the fretboard
until the chorus, then it's a kind of roll-off thing

[juliana]

Not sure what bass you bought but when I started playing, my fingers went numb. I started by learning ava adore.

g

and become an untrue bassist!? what kind of advice is that!?


if you're not picking with fingers, you may as well kill yourself.



(<--pick player 4 life)

Set the Ray to Jerry has a cool bassline

[The exploding boy]

there's a certain segment of the FEMALE population that digs it.













or so i've heard for like 20 years...i don't know...still waiting on that to manifest itself.

[thedeadofnight]

I dig it.












Not.











Loser.

I fucking love gish and all the psychedelic pumpkins music. I think I like gish more than anything past mcis maybe, even more than MCIS

[FoolofaTook]

if you think gish > mcis then your thinking blows ass

[Mals Marola]

FUCKING GISH MAN I LOVE THAT SHIT MORE THAN MY OWN MOTHER & I FUCKING LOVE MY MOTHER MAN BLAEKJRBSLDR
