>>74588192
Start with a basic technique book first

>>74588192
Feel Good Inc.

Learn sunshine of your love but only USE YOUR EAR! its simple enough you can do it by ear, dont look up tabs or music.

>>74588192
have you played guitar or any string instrument before?

>>74588720
this but ironically

Play some white zombie thunder kiss 65, its easy and sounds cool

>>74588192
Add two more strings and come back when you can play an instrument that actually takes skill

Night of the Assassins

Sell it and buy a mans bass

>>74588192
It better not be a viola or you have shit taste.

Also, pretty much anything from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONw0q2ZhEXg is a good place to start.

Gtfo you pretentious hillbilly fuck

Honestly, the one that I have to reccomend is Psycho Killer. While it is the Creep of Talking Heads, it has a really recognizable bassline and there's some stuff in it that's more than just the main riff, and Tina Weymouth wasn't particularly good.

That said, I'm gonna have to reccomend you learn even a little bit of music theory, because that really helps. Ear training is kinda difficult but definitely not impossible, but knowing music theory means that you can generally figure out the other notes in relation to the one you just heard quite easily - and later on it means you can take some simple humming and turn it into a bass riff.

Ok, what changes do you want me to walk on? Electric bass or upright? Do you just want me to walk or do you want it in context by playing the melody and soloing over a chorus? This will be a good warm up for my practice anyways.

Is This It - The Strokes
amazing bassline on the opening track. Learn the F scale across the four strings and then figure it out by ear, man.

>>74589734
desu I only know a few entry level jazz songs, but do Moanin' if you got it

>>74589734
>>74589833
Also upright, feel free to just walk

I started with With Or Without You, and then went to the main riff for The Working Man. Also Come Together is a classic and fairly simple.

Does anyone else think that the bass Lennon plays is adorable? Like the body is so small you could almost snuggle it to death, and don't get me started on those curves! I just want to pet every bass I see that looks like that and bully them endlessly, bending strings left, right and centre.
