This bassline makes me proud to own a bass

This channel is so underrated, this is amazing!

[williamosborne]

there are a dozen things right about this piece, this is wonderful.

Wow, my group and I chose this song for our performance in school. I put piano but decided to try the bass because my group member knows a bit of piano. I find the verses pretty easy but the chorus is a bit hard to play fast

[dominiqueoosthuizen]

I love your channel so much, keep uploading!! I got a base as a present for Christmas you’ve already taught me so much!! Thank you so much. :)

[DeadPyro]

Yeah, my fingers don't stretch that way lol

This is very helpful. The notation and your playing the song is SUPER! Only wish I saw this before going on an audition a while back...

[reza_dailylife]

Your bass sound is very nice, bold & warm. Love it.

[DiegoCarrillo-vwnn]

I really like that you use electric bass notes and vertical bass notes I've seen no one else do that

[coltonjordan]

It’s insane to me that Steve Lukather played the baseline and lead guitar on this song. So underrated

[DissasemblyN]

This tutorial was extremely helpful!!

I'm just a little 13 years old bassist so yeah i wanted to learn this all along-

Btw that bass looks great!

[Mrs_Chiques]

Such a great tutorial and tabs, thank you!😊

[victoriaprumar]

De todos los videos que he visto, este es el mejor y el que suena más fiel al disco original. Este es fantástico porque otros suenan más a guitarra que a bajo, quizás es por la afinación del instrumento, este es awesome!

[anzatzi]

Thanks for including the note notation--super helpful!!

[dougwilliams]

430 Hz?!! Wow!
Sounded great! Thanks! Saved the Gig!

[tacosmargs]

I always thought this song was corny but the bassline is mind blowing.

[dalmirofilho]

Isso sim é uma bela linha de baixo. Grande jackson!!!

[realnewyorkstyle]

Thanks again
I just started bass
A lot of help for me
My favorite songs :)

[juhos]

i'd say easier way to play this classic, is to tune your bass half step down

[tikutiku]

Wow...excellently awesome! I just got my first bass and I got a long way to go. However, I succeeded in playing the easy parts - the verse and the bridge. The intro is still tough.
