This week I chose songs in drop Eb ( eb standard with the e string down tuned 2 more) If beginners cant downtune that low let me know so we can switch a song (although i think eb is doable?). I also suggest if theres 2 songs in your class to probably just focus on the one you enjoy the most. Bass does have some other tunnings unfortunatley but hopefully its ok


Acceptance:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV7G3xlQKNA
Sessions @ AOL: The song was featured as part of the "Sessions @ AOL 2005" series, which was a major online music platform at the time. I believe it was also a song on yahoo radio music which is how i remember finding it as a teen but my memory might be faulty.


Stained Linkin park

It would be a sin to not add a linkin park song when doing a drop eb week. This song is with their current lead singer Emily (ex lead singer of dead sara), It was the easiest / well made linkin park song i found. Others seemed like could be int or could benefit from an update.

I walk Alone- Oleander
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDoiZc25t-k
"I Walk Alone" by Oleander was featured in both movies and was popular during the late 90s/early 2000s post-grunge era. 

Movies:

• American Pie (1999): The song is heard in the film during a party scene.

• Scary Movie 2 (2001): The song is included in this parody film

Eat glass- Red handed denial

It was the first time listening to them for me, I thought the singer was a guy but apparently they have a female singer. The riffs seemed really nasty so I also wanted to include them for this week :)


Let it Flow (for Dr. J) (live)- Grover Washington, Jr.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eduisPnDU-I
I found some cool bass songs in drob eb but again felt like they could use updates so i went with this one that seemed ok (e standard tho). Not too hard but i think itll be challenging enough.

Anyways hope yall have a good week 🤘

Edit i havent added it on react app yet and was planning not to untill after tomorrow incase any songs needs switching to avoid problems

Thanks for hosting @cacahuate51 !

Let's hope my bass cooperates with the drop tunings 😅

This song reminds me of the 80/90s 😂
