1. Find a lick you like off a song you like.
2. Listen to it until you can sing it.
3. Pick up your bass and figure it out.
4. Learn what chord it's being played over.
5. Transpose it into all twelve keys.
6. Whip it out at a jam session and reap the benefits of your efforts.
7. Become an international music superstar.


It's that easy bro!
