Bassplayers: Which songs are your favorites to play?

At the moment I've been playing Politik alot. That's song's just got such a beautiful, heavy, bassy feeling. I'm not sure how to describe it. Shiver's another favorite of mine. Also, if you haven't tried it before, I Ran Away is pretty fun to play.

You mean, favourite coldplay bass lines or favourite bass lines in general?

Lemme see... fav coldplay...: Shiver is a tricky one, but it's really cool... clocks is the best one cos it is easy to play, and it rocks.

I don't like the politik bass though, cos it's kinda boring. And oh, i never tried the i ran away one. Do you have a tab?

And oh, i almost forgot... sparks has a good line too. It is so sweet.

Now... Cool non-coldplay bass lines...

I like radiohead's there there... and bones... and paranoid android...

And muse's Hysteria, stockholm syndrome and uno.

Oh, and travis' flowers in the window has one of the coolest bass lines ever.

I don't know a lot of Coldplay songs on the bass. I enjoy playing Everything's Not Lost and Daylight, though.

 

Other songs?

Radiohead - Where I End And You Begin

Radiohead - Paranoid Android

Oasis - Go Let It Out

The Stone Roses - I Am The Resurrection

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - As Sure As The Sun

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Rise Or Fall

Rage Against The Machine - Sleep Now In The Fire

The Beatles - Day Tripper

nice list man! Everything's not lost has such a sweet bass line. And the radiohead basses that you listed are brilliant.

Can you play the paranoid android one? Cos i've been trying to play it for a few weeks... ok, actually, a few months. lol And man, that bass is the devil!

In honesty, I'm actually a guitarist, but I occasionally play the bass. This has worked to my advantage I guess, because I can play lead guitar pretty well so I've transferred the technique across to the bass. I don't find it all that hard, but when I started learning the lead guitar part it took me a few months to get it nailed - now I can play it blindfolded.

 

Don't give up - keep going and eventually you'll get there. The bass is probably the hardest part of the song!

My dad is a great bass player (a lot of people say he is) and he said that the bass player actually follows the drummer a lot, by playing a note everytime the drummer hits the bass drum.

 

Is this true?

 

He's the only one who's ever told me that, but I can actually kind of notice it. Especially DMB's "Crush."
