Got To Be There - Michael Jackson - Bass Cover - Request

Описание: Happy New Year! 😊

Here's the requested transcription I've done of the Michael Jackson song "Got To Be There". This song comes from his debut 1972 album "Got To Be There". James Jamerson or Wilton Felder was the bass player on this track. I think it was Wilton, but can't say for sure. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know and I'll update this.

You can find this transcription at Muzento under Advanced songs.

My video got blocked last week :( And what is so strange about it is that there are other covers on YouTube...but they blocked mine? It was a really nice song too by Quincy Jones "One Hundred Ways" that Louis Johnson played bass on. Visit https://www.gregstranscripts.com/cove... if you'd like to see it :)

This is one of those songs that shows how far the root and 5th can go. Good rhythm, feel and sound, and the root and the 5th can go a long way on the bass ;)

The most difficult thing for me was some of the rhythms, and that 3/4 bar. That rest and slide seem to go on forever...haha, you could drive a truck through that space :)

I also found I had to hold onto the notes a little longer than what my first instinct was. It makes it feel more like a ballad with the longer notes, and it also makes his rhythmic runs stand out more.

It's fun to play along with. I hope you enjoy it.
