In January 2020 I decided to finally start taking bass guitar lessons. I joined group music lessons at the local School of Rock. The usual schedule is to have a live performance every 3-4 months, however the COVID pandemic had other plans. We ended up finally getting to perform a streaming online show, topping out at about 40 viewers. Not exactly rock stars, but you have to start somewhere.
Here鈥檚 our first setlist and this is a Youtube playlist
The Beatles - Let It Be
My first attempt at a Paul McCartney bassline and I have an entirely new respect for him as a musician.
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
A fun song on bass - trying to get everyone to play the shots in sync at the start of the song can be a challenge
Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
One of my choices, such a cool song. Getting the rythyms right took some practice.
The Black Keys - Tighten Up
Just a fun song to play - took us a while to get the tempo change right.
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Required learning for any new group lesson.
Blondie - Call Me
A good learning experience - has some time signature changes, a key change, and an extended bridge section.
Green Day - When I Come Around
My first experience with hammer-ons and pull-offs. Mike Dirnt does not get enough love as a bass player.
Neil Young - Rockin in the Free World
A good song for a bunch of Winnipeggers. The guitar player gets two solos to show off - we never played the song exactly the same way twice, we just kept the song going until he was done soloing.
Pat Benetar - Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Another classic and a good beginner song.
Def Leppard - Rock of Ages
I鈥檓 not a Def Leppard fan, but the other members of the group like them.
Weezer - Undone (The Sweater Song)
A good song to work on dynamics.
Joan Jett - I Hate Myself for Loving You
Another good beginner song.
The Tragically Hip - New Orleans is Sinking
My other choice for the set. Great Canadian song and fun to play.
the real reason mikey way used to be so quiet and stoic was because his jeans were too tight for anything to fit in his pockets, so he held it all in his mouth
me: hey have you seen my bass?? my beautiful bass? my cool sexy bass? what about the coffin case? have you seen it? did you know it's lined with red velvet? do you want to feel it?
okay kinda starting to regret making benson so soft in my art. I feel all these general posts talking about fans straying too far from the source material, the "he would not fucking say/do that" posts, the "stop woobifying villains" posts I've seen over the years coming for my ass rn
what if I deleted it all so no one can ever be mad at me over it
