I can finally play the first song I ever wanted to learn

Sign in to disble this ad
So, 2 years ago I heard this bassline, and it basically made me say, "I want to play THAT" Well after taking one lesson with my best friends Dad, who i guess at one time was the #1 bassist in Rhode Island, laid the foundation. Today was a boring day, I spent a good hour or 2 learning the song by ear, from the bottom up (there never were any tabs, or videos to watch on youtube, not that I use tabs anyway) and this was the fruit of my labor. Please be honest on what you think of it, I'm proud for finally learning and playing this.
