- When it comes to learning a song Mark has the best, most organized, presentation.

[toddspendley]

Thank you for making Jaco available to us mere mortals, great presentation as always!

[KB-svmt]

This is the difference of something taking weeks to learn as opposed to hours Thank you so much!!!

[ericbevel]

Thank you for breaking this down into chunks I can digest!

[chickenzwings]

The universe really wants me to learn this song, just started trying to learn it on my fretless Monday. This will be a huge help, thank you!!

Hey man, just want to say thanks for your brilliant tutorials on both this track and Rio by Duran Duran. I've found 16th note funk really challenging - especially when you want to nail all the nuances and articulations - and you're the only guy who's had the patience to detail every last ghost note. Really appreciate your hard work 👍

[giovanniscardetta]

I want say : you re the best when it's bout explaining and making learn these difficult bass lines
Thank you

One of my favorites from his first album! Definitely need to practice this slowly haha!

[mattgibson]

Love your presentation style, especially the way you not only go through the notes of the lines, but give tips on fingering technique to help the music flow. It'll be a while before I get this down as only an early beginner, but so glad I bought your Beginner Bass & Bassic Fundamentals courses. I find your instruction style easier to relate to than others I've checked out - gives me the confidence to push forward with learning even on the hard days 👍

Very good 💓 🎸 sounds Riff for the tuning melody sounds rhythms.

[FrankPCarpi]

That's an excellent bass line Mark. I wish it was a easy as you make it look.

[BartFunkBass]

It is basically the only radio friendly song by Jaco :) I love it!

[markmahoney]

Another fanatic lesson from one of my favorites, plus I've been working on 1/16th note lines via Rocco and this fits right in. Thanks!

Your a wonderful teacher! To have a bum like me playing this entire thing at 90bPM is nothing short of a miracle 😂 the intro and verse I have up to full speed just not quite comfortable but I’ll get there!

[wmkennard]

Sweet Great Bass playing n teaching.
Thank you

[shahidkamal]

Superb video, and the summary emphasising feel being a function of technique and familiarity was spot on!
