“In this video, we’re diving into an absolutely iconic lick from Michael Jackson’s ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’’—and turning it into a killer bass exercise! We’re talking chromatic movements, string skipping, and a workout that’ll skyrocket our dexterity while keeping our notes super clean and precise. But that’s not all! We’re also learning how to think beyond just the bassline, pulling inspiration from the guitar part to spark our creativity. Together, we’ll break this lick down step by step, explore different fretboard positions, and discover how to make it our own. It’s all about challenging ourselves, leveling up, and having fun along the way!”
