Whats the hardest song I play well the one that flips most people out is chariots of fire. I dont think its really hard its that most people dont exspect it. I also know a version of amazing grace by chris square of yes. Our church is kind of old so anything new makes them quiver

Hardest song. What I've learned of Victor Wooten's Classical Thump is pretty dang hard.

It changes every week.

I learn an awsome bass line and after week I can play so easily it's not hard at all anymore. So I learn another one more harder and challenging.

Hey man, how much of it can you play? I can do the intro, but past that I'm just lost. It's a sweet song, though.

Nothing past the beginning with all of the hammer-ons.

i would have to agree with selfsame singer. As far as the most impressive, i guess some of the project stuff i play cuz thats what i started playing, i want to do some bassline/technique playing but i havent gone very far with that. Anybody any ideas on where to start with that?

The only song I know on bass is "Soul to Squeeze" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's kinda hard, but I think I could do better. I think I'll also start a new thread about it.

It's been a few years, but while I was a working musician, the toughest tunes I played were:

Crossroads (Cream)
New World Man (Rush)
Roundabout (Yes)

Do those still cut any ice?

the oly thing I can think of that I have trouble with is always with me, always with you. by joe satriani cause like the whole thing is tapping and it is insane but if you really want to learn how to arpegiate chords that song is the way to go, it has taught me a lot. and I figured out a thousand foot krutch song the other day and the song starts out with a guitar intro and then the lead singer says "lets funk it up" and then the bass line kicks in and its really funky, yeah i figured that out. I was sitting here at my computer and I realized that there is a no doubt cd sitting here and their bass player is really good so i think I might learn some of their stuff, oh yeah don't worry its not my cd, I'm not a fan of no doubt, its my sisters cd from several years ago.

The hardest song would probably be Victor Wootens' "Classical Thump", I can play it till it hits the triplets, I like "Pretty little ditty" by the chili peppers, its not too hard but its really fun to play. Also, i can play some of Stu Hamms "quahogs anyone?"(sp), thats a lot of fun, 2 hand tappings so dern hard.
