[Practice!] Practice Songs for Beginner Bassists During Spring Break (21–30)
InfernoMrs. GREEN APPLE
The third digital single by the rock band Mrs.
GREEN APPLE.
Written specifically for the TV anime Fire Force, its driving beat and exhilarating melody heighten anticipation for the show.
The bass part is mostly root notes, so it’s not technically difficult, but because there are many breaks in the chorus and other sections, clearly distinguishing where to play and where to cut the sound will tighten up the performance.
There are also many rests, making it a piece where it’s easy to bring out the bass’s presence and dynamics.
Sora-buneTOKIO
If you’re drawn to a masculine, driving bass, how about this one? It’s one of TOKIO’s signature songs—though they’re an idol group, they also have a rock-band side—and it was released in 2006 as their 35th single.
The lyrics and music were written by singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima.
The strong message—urging you to move forward under your own power—is really encouraging.
To capture the song’s energy, practice articulating each note cleanly and crisply.

Drunkenness UnknownKanaria
Many beginner bassists may feel uncomfortable with phrases that use rests to cut the sound off precisely.
For those players, I highly recommend Vocaloid producer Kanaria’s “Yoidoreshirazu.” The song is built around rest-heavy phrases centered on eighth notes at a mid-tempo, making it perfect for focused practice on tricky rests.
Plus, there are occasional sixteenth-note passages that require finer fingerwork, so it’s great training not just for beginners but for intermediate players as well!
CHAINSAW BLOODVaundy
Vaundy’s “CHAINSAW BLOOD” is perfect for practicing syncopation—a technique that links weak and strong beats to add rhythmic variation.
In this song, the offbeat of the fourth eighth note ties into the downbeat of the next measure to form a quarter note, so the key is to hold that exact length firmly.
When you’re not used to it, it’s common to rush the offbeat before the downbeat, so practice while clearly feeling the “taan-ta-ta” rhythm.
cloudy skyDOES
This is a song I can recommend to anyone who’s thinking about starting a band.
It’s one of the signature tracks by the rock band DOES, released in 2008 as their sixth single.
It was used as the opening theme for the anime Gintama and became a hit.
The masculine sound arrangement is insanely cool.
And the guitar, bass, and drums are all very simple to play.
If you’re really looking for a practice piece to start from scratch, make sure to learn this one first.
broad daylightKing Gnu
A great song I recommend for aspiring intermediate bassists is King Gnu’s mature track “Hakujitsu.” You can make it sound cool by using a highly technical, constantly moving bassline and employing a variety of techniques like hammer-ons, pull-offs, and glissandos.
The key to playing this song well is to feel each beat clearly as you play every note.
If you fudge the notes, you won’t capture the song’s groovy feel.
Once you can play it, it’s a really fun tune.
Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA
Hard rock songs may seem difficult, but the phrases themselves can be surprisingly simple.
This track by LiSA, the rock heroine of the anime music world, was released in 2019 as her 15th single.
It was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and became a huge hit.
Depending on the section, you’ll hear a more active bassline, but the foundation is root notes.
To bring out a loud, heavy feel in the song, solid, weighty root-note playing fits perfectly.
