I wear a T-shirt it says "Bass - like guitar only cooler" I used to play Lead/Rhythm but some arthritis snuck into my joints so.... I took up bass. Still play almost as fast but not struggling with barr chords. Little finger is frozen and middle finger only bends half way. But hey you make do. I cant complain. Django Reinhardt played incredible lead runs with only two fingers after the rest were wrecked in a fire.

That's my absolute favourite part of the song right there thanks for timestamping it 👍

That's a really cool peak for sure. But I have to say that this is more a left hand muffing technique. Still. Corey is so damn funky haha! Him and Joe are a perfect match for sure! That whole damn band and all their collabs too lol!

[@Jimd905]

Having just learned the entire song on bass, ironically the "easy" part (those 16s) is actually thee hardest part. Learning the rest took about an hour w the right tutorial but hitting those 16s CLEANLY is hard AF... And I've been playing for longer than i care to admit. Joe Dart is a living legend. Treasure him. Side note: imo, the MSG version of My First Car is very likely the funkiest thing ever written or performed by anyone, anywhere. Ever. If you play bass or guitar, i highly recommend learning as many Vulf songs as you can. Most peeps don't even know who they are so a lot them think they're your songs when you bust em out at shows. Sometimes I'll tell folks it's just some Vulf tunes but other times i just let them think i came up w those BEASTLY basslines! 💪

CORY WONG is demonstrating his notoriously tight trademarked boneless hand funk strumming technique. He bears a cheeky smile, and looks over in the direction of JOE DART. Off-screen, JOE ascends to funk nirvana on the back of an unbelievably clean bass fill, then quickly returns to Earth for continuity purposes as the camera pans towards him.
