[@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! 💪

2:28 INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. NIGHT. Vulfpeck is playing for a packed venue. The audience are in great spirits. 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.
