What are some good songs for a beginner bassist to learn?

posted in Entertainment |

Question by valeriebb2000: What are some good songs for a beginner bassist to learn?
I am finally getting my first bass guitar I practically begged for the last 6 months. I know, immature and a bit on the bratty side. I am just wondering what would be good songs to start on? I am getting a 28.6″ scale bass guitar and I am willing to use a pick though my fingers on my right hand are a bit on the slow side.
Okay, so I really don’t mind any genre but Bubble-gum pop. I really HATE bubble-gum pop.

Anything by Sublime.I would start with april 26 1992.most there stuff is pretty slow paced and simple and crowd pleasers.other songs I started with were
Deftones – be quiet and drive
chevelle – send the pain below
Smashing pumpkins – glynis
Tool – sober
Korn – blind ( well skip the end riff for now)
Jimmies chicken shack – high

I’m not sure what kind of music you like but here are some of my favorite easy songs to play:

Another One Bites The Dust – Queen
What I Got – Sublime
Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana
Teenage Lobotomy – The Ramones
Should I Stay or Should I Go – The Clash
Longview – Green Day

Those are just a few. If you hear a song that sounds pretty simple on the bass then it probably will be. Just look up tabs or how to videos. Good luck!
