vindictive_miss

Hey. I've just started learining bass for a punk band, thing is i know near to nothing about punk, I need (very) easy but good punk songs to learn.
Any suggestions?

Basically, i love puns, Anytning other than Rancid is piss eay. Try some Misfits

bombidol

anti-flag is piss easy?

You can't go wrong with Ramones. Learn Blitzkrieg Bop.

agh Chris is the MAN. Check Spaz' house party.

Feel like challenging yourself? Try learn Longview by Green Day and Higher Ground by the Chillie Willies.

Longview?
Piece of pi$$

Higher ground.... is a worthy challenge!!!

Ro: maaan!

Longview ain't that easy. (Though I'm not that good.) Sounds cool though.

Go to hell.

Try any blink182 stuff if your into that NOFX is usually easy enough,
Other than that Punk rock song by bad religion maybe.

It wasn't me!

Longview isn't that hard. Neither is a lot of Rancid once you're fast and half competent. Pixies is really easy, as is Dead Kennedys and Minor Threat. Once you get beyond the whole "four beats of root notes" thing try Bad Religion. Slightly more complex but still handy enough.

latimer

alkaline trio & fenix tx are nice and straightforward

OLP

if your feeling brave, try london calling

As long as you've got a pick and a root note in punk you're alright.
You're boring as the bejaysus, but you're alright.

It wasn't me!

London Calling's handy enough too.

try:

armagedon - alkaline trio
the decline - nofx
better off dead - bad religion
bloody sunday - stiff little fingers
sick of me - Descendents

or most things by rancid
