What's a good song to practice bass pedal independence on? I'm having trouble with songs where the bass pedal is separate from the main line. _________________

Yes........yes it does
This is the one thing I have found hardest so far. Will have to give Little Sister some more practice to try and improve. _________________

A great song in my opinion is Reptilia. I started hitting it last night and was pretty in awe. I know it isn't hard, but dammit it's a big accomplishment for me! _________________

I agree, that song was a roadblock for me until I got my foot going well on it's own. |

I think when it first really hit me was on Maps on Hard. It's a simple steady beat. After that, move on to stuff that's a bit more complicated like Suffragette City or Reptilia, and also stuff with alternating bass and other stuff (In Bloom?) _________________

I think that a lot of songs like Vasoline on Hard are good practice for this sort of thing. _________________

Of course, if you don't want to get totally raped from the get-go, there's always Gimme Shelter and Mississippi Queen on Expert. _________________

Mississippi Queen would actually cause me enough foot pain on hard that I'd have to stop playing the first few weeks. Now I have enough foot endurance to play it and keep going, but yeesh...MQ is not where I'd recommend anyone start.
Reptilia on Hard would be my vote. |

I think just playing though medium gets your foot to think differently then your hands and then when you get to hard. It is an amazing learning curve and i love it. I think mississippi queen really helps cause once you feel the groove your like uuuuuuuuuh got this =P _________________

I would say Dead on Arrival on whatever difficulty you can manage. If you can learn to hit a bass pedal part like that, your foot can gain a lot of independence. _________________
