Rush - Stick It Out on bass

Pretty easy stuff, I'm a beginner though, so no Jaco and Wooten for me

A good choice if you want to impress friends who don't know a lot about playing

If you are practicing your own song, give us the title and genre (or at least a brief description).

Recently I have learned the warmup exercises from one of the Trivium guitar players. They posted a link to the information on their myspace page. It's a simple 3 note per string tripplet lesson but the scale that they use is one that I haven't encountered before, so this is a nice change to my routine.

Where you come from. It's hard to play it perfect

Hotel California. I'm hoping to nail all the guitar parts and record / mix it on my laptop. im also using it as a way to experiment with different tones. its a lot different to all the stuff i usually play, so its giving my playing a bit of variety.

Just been practicing different sweep arpeggio forms, trying to get them up to speed. As for actual songs I've been pretty much just sticking to Death stuff and jamming to Nevermore on the 7.

im improvising some blues solos for about 60 mins now lol... I recorded some basic blues guitar rhytm and im just rippin the solo for about and hour lol...

i listened to zz top - blue jeans blues, and that song just ripped my soul apart

i dont listen or play to blues generally, but i like to hear it from time to time...

I've mostly been practicing my own stuff because I'm getting ready to bang out an EP and I'm on a deadline. Thankfully, I only have to worry about bass this time. The song I actually have to practice the most is what seems like should be the easiest: fast eighth notes kept in lockstep with a new-wave drum beat and staccato guitar line.

2 weeks ago I was playing Mouth For War and Cemetary Gates.

Now I'm playing 3 Doors Down - Duck and Run and Nickelback - Animals.

This new band is gonna kill me.

How the fuck did that happen? I had some pain in my arms recently but it went away. I did worry though.

Fuck, I need a 5-string

I'm getting tired of having to tune down every time I want to play Mastodon, Sepultura etc.

Let alone bands that just use the B string, such as Machine Head

I had played five-string for about 8 years and recently embraced the wonderfulness that is the classic four-string.

Lots of bass players just refer to their B string as a thumb rest.

hahah ok

I think it's still better than tuning to drop D or playing an octave higher...

Posted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 5:55 pm**

or just play it in a different key

although i wouldn't mind a six string bassaaaaah

currently, I'm writing my own grindcore songs on guitar, yeah, laugh it up. It's heavily influenced by Pig Destroyer, The Red Chord, Deadwater Drowning and All Out War. Good stuff, I like it.

Well, I always used it, but in the upper registers mostly. If you don't play a lot of metal, the lower registers on the B pretty much gather dust. I don't do a lot of lead or solo pieces anymore though, so a four-string is more than adequate.

what? i can play laid to rest. and nailing all the parts to hotel california isnt as easy as it sounds. there's a lot of little licks throughout the verses that are quite tricky. but LOG stuff is pretty straight forward. there's two guitar parts; one rhythm, one harmony.

Playing my own material. I learned that you can never hardly play a song just like the person who played it. Its fun and good practice though

Posted: **Sun Jun 25, 2006 8:04 am**
