Beginner Bass Songs – 5 Easy Songs For You To Learn

Here is a collection of 5 easy beginner bass songs. These are all songs that are great if you are just getting started on bass guitar. Some of them are slightly more difficult than others.

when starting out on bass it can be tough to know which songs to learn first. Often you have an idea of songs you want to play but when you go to learn them you find they are currently beyond your skills level.

These songs are all pretty simple if you already know how to pluck and fret notes on your bass guitar.

It’s a good idea to just take your time with them and have fun playing them. So here they are, my top 5 beginner bass songs:

Beastie Boys – Fight For Your Right (To Party)
Green Day – Brain Stew
Radiohead – Creep
America – A Horse with No Name
Rush – YYZ <—-( See comments below)

I hope you find learning these songs fun! I’d love to know how you get on, so leave me a comment below. Also if you have any suggestions of some good beginner bass songs you can leave those in the comment section too.

Hey:) I have learnt a little bluesy tune. I don’t know if it is anywhere on the Internet so I will try and post the tabs here. The thickest string goes on the bottom right? That’s how I’ve been learning it…
——————————
———-4–5—————
—4–7———4–7–4—-
5—————————–

and then you just move everything down one string and repeat. That’s the only bit I learned.

Oh and by the way, Zombie by The Cranberries is an easy song. It was the first one I played :)

“sharp dressed man” by ZZ Top, and “Bad Moon Rising” by CCR are pretty easy songs on bass. Also, “With or Without You” by U2.
