I've been practicing bass guitar for a month or two and the easy stuff has started to get pretty trivial. Anyone have any recommendations for songs that aren't that difficult but might still challenge a beginner? I haven't done much with slap bass but I'm also looking for a good way to learn that aspect too, if anyone has any advice.
