loveHoshino Gen
This song could be called the most popular track of 2016.
The bass is by Hama Okamoto from OKAMOTO’s.
The chords are somewhat complex and might be hard to memorize, but once you learn them, it’s fun to play and great for practice.
If you pay attention to note length and how you cut the notes off, you can bring out the groove.
There’s also a bit of slap in the outro, making it perfect for practice.
Panda Herohachi
A Vocaloid track with a very melodic bassline that’s fun to play.
The key is to really feel the rests and aim for tight, rhythmic playing.
Humming the bassline as you perform will likely help you improve faster.
DOLLSCANDAL
One song I recommend for female vocal bands.
The song structure is simple, and the A section is almost just drums.
Most of the phrases are root notes, so I think the difficulty is easy enough for beginners to learn.
If you’re starting your first band, definitely add it to your repertoire.
