I only know 3 chords, A, D, and G. I took lessons over the summer, but haven't done much with it since.

I wish I could play...

Edge89 - Original Of The Species (Live version)

Recorded this a few hours ago.
I used the HB-30 that I spoke about earlier on it.

Unfortunatley quite a few mess ups though.

Nice bumping there, flybabe

So many talented PLEBAns...

I have a bass, I got lessons about 5 years ago, then pretty much gave it up until this year. So I'm still a total n00b, really...
I love how there's a whole range of simplicity->difficulty in U2's songs... things like WOWY for bass newbies, and always something a little bit harder to aspire to.

redhotswami · 03-21-2007, 08:16 AM

I can play the chords to One!

My instructor asked what kind of music I listened to, and I responded with "U2!" He laughed and said "U2 is a kind of music?" and I said "Of course!"
So the next time I showed up, he had the chords to One and I've been working with it for the past couple of months.

Alisaura · 03-21-2007, 09:25 AM

Awesome, Mia!

I've been working on the bass parts for (from memory):
WOWY, In God's Country, Exit, NYD, Drowning Man, 4th of July, Silver & Gold, God Part II, Desire, Vertigo...
Also a few non-U2 songs; Venice Queen (Chili Peppers - only one of Flea's basslines I have any hope of learning!), Suicide Blonde (INXS), Belong (REM)...

I've just printed off a bunch more tabs though

My bass is a Yamaha... it was pretty much the cheapest one in the shop, and I haven't changed the strings in 5 years, but it works well enough!

andberlin · 03-21-2007, 09:46 AM

Yay for this thread! :clap:

*bass love*

I'm currently working on:
WOWY, In a Little While, Desire, AIWIY, Sweetest Thing, NYD, Vertigo, BTBS, Yahweh (kill me NOW!!)

*trying to stick with one bassline per week*

*not succeeding*

*also aspires to Mysterious Ways*

Since this thread has been bumped up again, I thought I'd bring my question up again, since nobody answered me.

But, hopefully in the next couple of months I'll be able to start up again. I don't have my own guitar so I'll have to buy one, unless my brother decides to give me his, which he doesn't use any more. Do any of you have any suggestions for a good, decently priced acoustic? Thanks.

I'd also be interested in suggestions for an electric guitar as well. Thanks to anyone who can be of any help to me!

i'm sorry Thora!

I didn't notice it before. You can always go inbetween like I did and get an acoustic electric

I have a black washburn, and I love it! I don't have an amp...yet. I'm waiting til I get some more skills before I invest. If you want a good pic of it, check out the video on my myspace page. I'm not really playing it, so it doesn't sound like that.
