Okay, I'm trying to learn the tabs of some songs, like OK GO's 'A Million Way's and other songs with fast bass parts. I can't play the song right and keep up with the beat at the same time.

Any suggestions?

If you're playing with your fingers, try picking it.

I've always used a pick, I didn't know there were different styles to it though. :ermm:

For most people, unless they're totally insane bass players, picking is faster than fingering. You could try slap bass if its really fast, but that would be a lot more challenging.

I've only got a Simple Bass, £100 and I need to bring it back from School because it's getting wrecked by the younger kids!

I'm going to start learning my tabs again, I have over 120 Songs to learn :)
