Stealer’s Wheel’s Stuck in the Middle has a great bass groove. Here I go beyond just playing it by making a fun and challenging drill out of it! As deceptively simple as that bass line is, this is quite the fretboard challenge! Try it for yourself!

What does this groove do? 1 – 1 – 2 – 3 – 5 – 6 -1- 1 – 7 – 2 – 3 – 5 – 6 – 5.
