My nephew is learning to play the bass and I want to put together an "inspiration" disc
for him with PJ songs where Jeff is heavily featured.

Thanks for any input.

    Hail, Hail has a very fun and easy bass line
    Brain Of J
    Low Light
    Nothingman
    Last Exit is fun, and the bass is killer
    Dissident is a simple, and also very fun. The bass is pretty prominant

    Hey, I play bass and Low LIght is really fun to play. It might be too hard for him if he's a beginner but keep it in mind.
    Jeremy is a perfect beginner song its actually the first song I learned on bass.

    Present Tense has a pretty sweet baseline towards the end.

    I'm surprised nobody mentioned Faithfull. Actually, pretty much anything on Yield will work. That's like the Jeff Ament showcase album.

    Good point.

    WMA, too.

    I'm starting to believe Jeff might be a badass.

    won't be deleted if it isn't reported. Saw the video and it happened so fast! I bet that place has been hit before. was Jeff the person on the top that ran?

    ok ok no talking about it...i'm sorry i made the joke, i didn't want to change the convo...my bad...

    let's get back to the reason this thread was made

    BEST JEFF SONGS!
  • Bushleaguer10Bushleaguer10 Posts: 25
    It isn't a Pearl Jam song, but the best I have ever heard Jeff is when they covered The Real Me at Rock Honors. He was on a whole other level than I had ever heard him before.
    "Fuck this Fuckin' Chocolate Factory!"

  • HeavyHandsHeavyHands Posts: 2,130
    Really?

    Oceans.

    No one else?

    His bass line makes that song. And by listening to it it shouldn't be too advanced for someone new to the game.

    songwriting skills - Nothing as it seems


    bass playing - I can't believe nobody has said Whipping! its like he's channeling Entwistle for that song! Hail, Hail is very, very good as well.

    But seriously, he really is just fantastic on everything, you just have to listen for it

    Thanks for all the great input. Keep it coming!

    I think I'll do two discs - one for inspiration with the harder songs
    and one with the simpler songs for starting out.

    Hey, and no more hijack attempts!!! :mrgreen:

    Bushleaguer has a cool bassline during the spoken word part.
    Of course there's Tremor Christ too.

    Neither of those are for beginners but they're awesome.

    Rats and Sweet Lew spring to mind. Also, there's some great playing on his AWESOME solo album (Tones) :D
