Well, here are 100 bass riffs spanning from 1955 to 2013. Learn these 100 riffs and oh yes, you will be a better player for knowing them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would knowing these songs make for a better <em>cover<\/em> band?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes. The more songs a cover band knows, the better. However, this is 100 songs we&#8217;re talking about, with each song at an average of 4 to 5 minutes each. If you don&#8217;t want to do the math, that&#8217;s about 7 <em>hours<\/em> of music.<\/p>\n<p>While true there are cover bands that are the &#8220;play all day\/night&#8221; kind, it would take many hours of rehearsal to get these songs learned. In other words, to have a band learn them all &#8211; and learn them correctly &#8211; would be quite a feat. Not impossible by any means, but the band would have to commit a large amount of time to learn them all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chances are you know a good amount of these songs already<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and that&#8217;s a good thing.

Is this a good list of songs to know? Which ones do you think rise above the rest?<\/p>\n<p>(Yes, this video is 17 minutes long.
