I actually like a lot of classic rock (yes even Hotel California, that solo kicks ass) but there is a lot of bad classic rock too. What do you think the worst classic rock song is? What is the most overrated band or artist? I think Supertramp is mid at best, but Bob Seeger is truly dreadful.
Guitarists: THAT'S NOT EVEN HOW YOU PLAY THE SONG! IT'S PERFECT 4TH DYADS WITH AN IMPLIED E-G-A ROOT, SO IT'S 2-5-7 BARRED ACROSS THE 4TH AND 5TH STRINGS! 0-3-5 IS A LIIIIIIIIIIIE!
When I played bass that actually wasn't my first song to learn. It was My Name Is Mud by Primus. But that was probably because I fucking love slapbass.
That's sort of how it happened for me. I had an idea of how to do the My Name Is Mud riff but it was at downtime during a jam session for the band I was playing guitar in and I was like hey lemme see if I can do slapbass.
