But I mostly just play cover stuff...I’ll make a playlist, put it on an iPod or my phone, and plug it into my amp, and play along with the playlist...
I’ve recently tried to create a playlist for EVERY song I know, and then organize it by tuning, for bass and for guitar...it's hard as ****!!! I’ve learned so many songs, I’ve learned, mastered and forgotten a whole bunch already...and what's even worse is I know how to play songs that I’ve never played before...same chord progressions, etc...
But I have a core set of a few songs I ALWAYS play...like my warm up...
For guitar:
Led Zeppelin: Over the Hills and Far Away
Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here
Otis Redding: Sitting on the Dock of the Bay
Pearl Jam: Yellow Ledbetter
Pearl Jam: Black
Staind: Everything Changes
Alice In Chains: Nutshell
Alice In Chains: Down in A Hole
Led Zeppelin: Ramble On
ZZ Top: La Grange
Led Zeppelin: Gallows Pole
Jimi Hendrix: Hey Joe
Jimi Hendrix: Hear My Train A Comin'
Rolling Stones: Honky Tonk Woman
Jimi Hendrix: Wind Cries Mary
Usually I play something out of those, and just play it through, strumming, warming up...I always have an acoustic guitar nearby...there's three hanging on the wall next to my computer, including a 12 string. Also i've been learning more metal for guitar, trying to increase my variety...you can see i play lots of old classic rock and some bluesy stuff too...messing with different tunings, etc...
For bass:
anything RATM, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, RHCP, Tool, Rush, The Police, Metallica (Cliff 'em all, mostly), Rick James, Jimi Hendrix...I could prolly play a majority of each of those band's catalogs off the top of my head...
If I play it on guitar, I play it on bass, and vice versa.
Alright musicians, let's see a list of songs you jam to!!! |
What's your pin? me and another dude have a guitarist group... join.
And for anything not Standard (I'll play Drop B and Drop C interchangeably unless when playing to play along with something... It's too much to retune every time I wanna play a song), I'll play:
Sirens Song - Parkway Drive

Carrion - Parkway Drive
Monument - A Day To Remember
A Shot In The Dark - A Day To Remember
Hollow Man - Parkway Drive
