[beelzabubba]

Nice job... I'd like to have you playing on some studio stuff when I'm laying down the groove. I'll bet you are a Jaco fan. Just a guess....

[drjermz]

[2MrTwoCents2]

@sandapunk And he knows it haha.

[LordNekromurderer]

Spectacular!, How did you learn that song? did you use sheets or tabs?

[MegaCrasher3000]

Damn that's sick! This may be one of my all-time favorite basslines and I would kill to be able to play it half as good as you. Way to go.

[MrBassjoy]

You nail this nicely. I have been doing jackson 5 on up to Michael's latest stuff and you are one of the naturals. I want to do some drumming on some of his stuff and if i do I would want you on bass.

[Gspotkemps]

Why not to play several notes at the same time on bass guitar ?

[gelogelogelogelo09]

[playdrums]

Do you have to have a 5-string bass to play this?

[pssryan]

@playdrums Nah....makes it a little easier though. The original was done on a half step tuned down 4 string.

[LoGEEE]

Beautifully played mate.

[kctigereye]

[macktruck2]

That little diddy at the end was very clever. It fit nicely with the tune. Great work.

5 string basses have a low B string.

[realjuvelive]
