ben harper's burn on down is always fun. if you've got balls and can play it stream will bring the house down and jack's cocoon is a lesser known but great jack song, plus one sweet world l@lc style.

i like tictacs · Post by **i like tictacs** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 9:45 pm

So much to say makes for a great bass/guitar duo...tons of funk when its just the two pieces. i've done it where the bass comes in first for a whole run through the verse and then the guitar comes in, etc.

Play what you like. Play what you know.

Remember, whatever you want to get out of playing out is what you should strive for. I mean if you're happy with playing JJ and DMB song then do it. I would advise you that you should never limit yourself musically though.
