Jet's Are You Gonna Be My Girl was featured on their 2003 album, Get Born. iVideosongs shows how to play Are You Gonna Be My Girl's challenging bass line, including a left hand muting technique and its syncopated rhythms. Otis Redding recorded (Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay on the 1968 album of the same name. The iVideosongs title for this R&B classic is very approachable, even for beginning-level players.
Bon Jovi recorded Wanted Dead or Alive on the 1986 album, Slippery When Wet.

Losing My Religion was the monster hit from REM's 1991 album Out of Time. This iVideosongs title shows how to play the bass line to create a hook over just a few chords.
