Finally, a year and a half after completing B2B, I can play Billie Jean, although my goal is to be able to practice it 3-5 times through with no (or a lot less fatigue) in my fretting hand. I’m using a 21 inch scale bass, so the frets are closer together and thus a little easier to reach without cramping, but just happy to finally get this one down. Great finger and hand workout!! Delayed success is success nevertheless!

Here is my take on Billie Jean, not perfect, but it represents where I’m at. Guess I need another 10-15 years to keep the whole song with octaves.

Really nice tone and good job!
I thought you held the grove very well throughout.
I don’t know where AI gets all these women, but I’d like to visit.
Great video editing as always @Johnnyb

Thank you, @John_E. Hehe, you can try asking Gemini. This song is really hard to play, and I think I’m going to keep practicing it. Maybe one day I’ll manage to play the whole song with octaves! Then, I promise to do another cover.
This is my first entry in the 50 songs challenge, hoping to add at least one per week from here on out. I played it from memory and had a few clams (the red light fever kicked in), but was happy with it overall!

OK, so I went back and did the whole module 4 with the Billie Jean Extra….and I did better than I thought I would. Yes it’s been almost 2 yrs, LOLOL, but I have played other songs that I love, continued the lessons, and I was able to make it through the Medium workout…Billie Jean is a great exercise Dudes!!!

Billie Jean - Michael Jackson (Bass cover)
We met nearly 2 years ago in lesson 4, and it’s finally time to rise to the challenge. lol

Fantastic job!
The tone is a bit bitey for this tune. I’d consider moving your plucking hand much closer to the neck and rolling tone all the way off for this type of tune but ignoring that you did amazing.

Thank you for your feedback! I struggled choosing a bass and coming up with the right tone for this one. I still need better monitors. lol
I considered a P with half-rounds instead of DTB flats, but I felt it was harder to hear in the mix unless I turned the bass way up.
Either way, I appreciate you taking time to listen and provide feedback. It has been so helpful along my journey. This community and the challenge is awesome!
10 more to go!
