bass

[defyu]

dose any one no any easy songs by the offspring for someone that has just started 2 play bass

[DeAtHsTaR]

Most of them...

Pretty Fly
Bad Habit
I'll be Waiting

[defyu]

cheers for those

[bouncingcoles]

selfesteem is a good one

[Crusheer]

Can't Repeat is the easiest what you can find :-)

[Sinister]

pretty fly, come out and play, the kids aren't alright... pretty much all of their more recent stuff. Once you're ready for a "challenge" try I Choose.

[Lupin]

Get a tab for the 'bass solo' in Have You Ever...you can keep playing it over and over again and think...im Greg K.
Then get a tab for Around The World by the Chilis and cry...

[OddOneOut_Bassist]

Can't Repeat is the easiest what you can find :-)
very true.. i play that and cant get my head around you... those are wayyy easy!

[Jojan]

Good training. Do them in order.
1. Can't Repeat
2. The Kids Aren't Alright
3. Dammit, I Changed Again - (More speed)
4. So Alone
5. Session
6. Beheaded
7. Self Esteem
After this you could do almost whatever.

[guitarboy]

also try "gotta get away" cheers for pretty fly and cant get my head around you

[brothadave79]

Want You Bad
All I Want
Da Hui
LAPD


Hit That's a fun one once you get the hang of it. So's What Happened to You.

[noodle654]

Well, when you do advance more on bass, learn Tehran, I Choose, Burn it Up, Beheaded, and Have You Ever

[defyu]

wow cheers all of you guys ive just started and cant play anything yet but i want to learn offspring frist i can nerly play special delivery

[SplinterByMyOwnDesign]

I wouldn't even count 'Can't Repeat' ... takes like what? 10 mins to learn

[StayInTheHouseCarl]

i cant believe "not the one" hasn't been mentioned.
three chords, same riff the entire song.

[Corpse]

maybe drifting off subject here, but learn all the ones the others have mentioned before attempting Tehran. I have also always thought that Gone Away is not particularly hard.

[opivy21]

Almost every single Offspring song is easy. All you need to do is build up your speed, but a lot of their songs are only four chords (TKAA) and are very easy to memorize and play.

[DeAtHsTaR]

I'd say one of the only difficult songs by them on bass is I Choose.

[darthdudeguy4]

Gone away is really easy(ive been playing for 2 months)
but yeah Cant Repeat takes the easyest song award

[yorkiepudn]

I wouldn't even count 'Can't Repeat' ... takes like what? 10 mins to learn

cant repeat was so easy that i learnt it within 1 minute or there abouts

the main riff to she's got issues is pretty easy aswell but i still havent worked out the rest of that song

[_JJB]

I play bass for 4 years so i can reccomend you few Offspring's songs that are good to play. Maybe some of them aren't so easy but their bass line is better than other's songs.

- I Choose
- Come Out Swinging
- Bad Habit
- What Happened To You?
- Why Don't You Get A Job?
- The Meaning Of Life
- Gotta Get Away
- Da Hui

I also reccomend you learning guitar intro to The Kids Aren't Alright - it's nice to play on bass in verse and chorus.

[Apathy]

There's not really a hard offspring song on bass. A few might not be good for beginners. But if you've been playing for more than a year, you should be able to handle anything they've made.


I'd love to see Greg whip out some amazing bass skills on the new album and shock everybody...heh, that'd be great.


I think good songs for beginners to learn on bass are:

Pink Floyd - Money
The Beatles - Day Tripper
The Suicide Machines - No Face
CKY - 99 Quite Bitter Beings
Green Day - Longview


I don't even like most of those songs. They're just really good stuff for a beginner who's just learning how to play.

[DeAtHsTaR]

Hit That has a fun line.

Yeah, you're right. In my opinion only "I Choose" has got a little hard bass.

You wrote about Green Day's Longview. They've got more songs with ambitious bass line, just hear their first 5 albums.

From other bands and bass lines i reccomend you:
- Green Day
- Guns N' Roses
- The Darkness
- Few Blink 182 songs
