having just recently got my first bass,i have been starting to try and learn a few songs that i love.
now to be fair just about anything will apply to me (as in the thread title) but 2 tracks especially are definitely a lot trickier than i thought they were.
i have to put my hand up and confess that i didn't really hear the bass parts of them until now as i always listen to the whole tune tbh.
the tracks in question for me don't stop believing by journey and talk talk it's my life.
the bass parts are definitely not simple (for me i know there are some great players here lol) especially the talk talk track. both have tricky sections that has taken me a good while to try and get the hang of (both how they sound and actually playing).
i can play the journey one all the way through now (admittedly badly),but the talk talk one is definitely going to take some time to get to grips with for sure.
i do love trying to play along (and am loving the bass i have to say).
what tracks have you found trickier to learn than first thought?

My son had to learn some Smiths tracks on bass for college which I tried to help him with and they were much harder than I'd imagined, some quite big jumps. In my head there were twiddly guitar bits and the basslines went thump thump thump but not so.
Anyway, he got there, I think I'd still be working at them.
I was glad when I'd finished the public performance
Took me a while and frequent visits to YouTube to first get the actual notes and picking down, then get it up to speed.
It sounds like a stupid throwaway pentatonic thing but it's not. My respect for the bloke went up after that.
Elton John is a fucking great piano player- he's really underrated.
Try singing and playing this.
