Any suggestions for easy Rock & Roll songs to sing (and learn) while playing!


Question:

Any suggestions for easy Rock & Roll songs to sing (and learn) while playing electric bass?

Playing electric guitar and singing don't seem to be a problem - but when I'm playing electric bass I cannot sing a lot of songs. It seems that a lot of times bass playing counters what's being sung or comes in timing that just doesn't mesh with singing. Songs like "Stray Cat Strut" with an even beat and the words sung on each beat are fairly easy to sing and play bass on at the same time. Do you have any suggestions for other Rock & Roll songs that I can learn to sing and play bass at the same time? Thanks.


Answers:

Try The Cars, which I found easy. Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell is easy. Punk like Sex Pistols or Ramones. Try something where the bass has a steady pace, quarter notes or 8th notes. You might even want to try to keep up with the changes on the bass without playing the counter just to learn the song. Once you have the lyrics down or the bass line down then learn the other part. I had to do that with Another Brick on the Wall.
