Hey, so this lesson is a special one...
I've got a VERY special guest in the studio with me.
One of my bass heroes.
The one and only Bobby Vega - one of the funkiest bass players on the planet.
Seriously - funk runs through this guys veins!
Oh, and to top it off...
He plays with a pick.
Yep... a pick!
So, if you've ever wondered whether great bass players use a pick, you can stop wondering today by checking out this lesson.

1. How to groove (it's all about the figure 8!)
2. Why and how to adjust the angle of the pick to get different feels and tones
3. Playing behind the beat
4. How to inject ghost notes into your grooves
5. And way more.

Lesson Summary:
1. You’re going to find out how Bobby got started with a $1 ukulele.
2. Why his playing is so reactive to what the drummer is doing.
3. How he gets that backbeat thing happening with a pick.
4. You’re going to hear Bobby playing What Is Hip? On, behind and in front of the beat.
