Any bass players here? [View All]

[Ariana Celeste]

I am a very amateur bass player, just recently started learning. My husband is a bass player and has taught me some basics, but he works full time and doesn't have a lot of time to sit with me. So, I'm looking for some easier bass tabs, for bands that may be on my play list (I *have* to hear the song to learn to play it.) My play list features bands like, Alice in Chains, Pink Floyd, A Perfect Circle, Tool, NIN, Cake, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Incubus, Radiohead, The Doors, System of a Down, and others- but those are the bands I have the most music from.
My husband has told me that anything on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, a lot of Pearl Jam, NIN, and early Radiohead should be okay for me to handle. So, so far, I have learned: "Breathe" by Pink Floyd, "Creep" by Radiohead, "My Iron Lung" & "Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead, "Would" by Alice in Chains.
I am working on: "Us and Them" & "Time" by Pink Floyd, and honestly still need a little work on "Would", as far as timing goes.
Since I'm not really accustomed to playing with speed, yet, I am having a little bit of trouble keeping my hands limber, and tend to keep my fingers a little tightly curled. He is having me learn to play with my fingers before I play anything with a pick- and I've found through listening to him and his friend play that I prefer the sound of finger playing, it sounds less twangy to me. He says that playing with only fingers can be a bit harder sometimes, and that it would be better for me to learn to play that way, first.

Anyways, so like I said, I am looking for some easier bass tabs, and maybe a little advice from some other bass players. I'm having a LOT of fun learning to play, and my goal is to someday be able to at the very least play some better Alice in Chains songs, and "Money" by Pink Floyd. I love the bass line in that song! I have looked up bass tabs online- I have two sites saved to my favorites, but I just don't know where to start other than with what he gave me. Anyways, any help or advice would be really appreciated!
