A great example of how a driving bass line often plays an integral part in a song. For the most part Michelle keeps the bass line simple in terms of notes and relies on insistent rhythm to help push the whole song along. That is not to say that the whole bass line is composed of simple root notes, at certain points she adds some beautiful melodic runs illustrating how a bass part can go from being the driving backbone of a song to a prominent hook within the piece.

Romeo of the Magic Numbers runs you through their delightfully poppy song "Take a Chance". Romeo gives helpful tips on how to play the song, and thoroughly explains the techniques behind it. There is plenty for the competent guitarist to be getting on with - a great-sounding picked riff, some extremely inventive chord variations and inversions, and a solid strumming pattern. The immensely likable Romeo talks you through the song in lots of detail. The learning curve shouldn't be too steep for guitarists who are comfortable with fast picking and unusual chord changes, but beginners may want to try something a little more simple before stepping up to the challenge.

A happy, floaty song with a solid bassline which will keep any relatively confident bassist busy for a while. Most of the song is quite simple but there are some quite complex parts with a fast driving force behind them, and therefore it is best suited for an intermediate bassist who is up for testing their dexterity with a bass line that is both testing and fun to play.
