Bass songs

[Lord_Skellig]

I got a bass guitar 4 days ago and have been playing it non-stop since. What are some good, fairly easy bass songs?

[Longy]

I was going to suggest some Rush songs with Geddy Lee, but then I read "easy".

What music do you usually listen to?

[Pasalaqcua]

This song has a catchy and some-what easy bass line

The best way to learn is to play what you like.. Go try to play the songs you usually listen.

[Feralicous]

Guns of Brixton - The Clash

[Tezzanator92]

Fortune faded - Red hot chili peppers

[En-Guage V2]

Play some AC/DC

and when you get good, move up to some Tool

also learn how to slap ASAP

[Franke_R!?]

Green Day if you want something super easy.
Red Hot Chili Peppers songs are always quite fun to play for example: Can't Stop, Torture Me, Hump De Bump, Dani California etc.
Tool is also awesome to play, or Primus although I think those are out of your reach for now.
Old Metallica songs are fun and quite easy to play such as Seek & Destroy and Master of Puppets.

Cheers for the suggestions. And yeah, I'm trying to learn slap :) I do love RHCP, so I'll try some more of their songs

[Rad McCool]

Daddy Cool :c00l:

This is a nice and simple one, good song too.

Longview by Green Day, for sure. Ska Sucks by Propagandhi is a good one to get the fingers moving with.

This one might be a bit hard for what skill you've got now, but I thought of it as soon as I read the thread title, Higher Ground - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Sounds cool too.

But you may want to try it after learning something from above.

But to be serious, the first song I learned on the bass was a Rush song.

The bass solo isn't too difficult, and it sounds badass.

[poppertom]

all depending on what you enjoy listening too.
if you've only had your bass for a couple of days then i would suggest songs like "smoke on the water - deep purple", "paranoid - black sabbath", and if your feeling up for a challenge "rage against the machine - killing in the name"... classic!
