Why Every Bassist NEEDS This “Do I Do” Iconic Pentatonic Lick to Master Groove!

In this continuation of our Stevie Wonder “Do I Do” groove lesson we dive into the iconic pentatonic lick that makes this bass line unforgettable. You’ll learn:
•How to visualize the B major pentatonic scale as A♭ minor pentatonic
•My 4-note exercise for internalizing that lick (so it becomes second nature)
•Why playing it slowly is harder—and more rewarding—than blasting it fast
•How the same pattern works upside down for a smooth up-and-down flow
•A quick chromatic connector that ties the lick back to the root

Whether you’re sight-reading or learning by ear, this breakdown will give you the tools to lock in the lick and make it your own.
