A lot of bass players ask me how I come up with lines that actually fit the track instead of just noodling over it.
Here's the honest answer: it's not talent, it's a process. This video walks through it start to finish, and the full lesson is free if you want to try it yourself. Link in the comments/bio. Groove Lab study 3.

Selective picking, but make it hip hop.

This technique wasn't designed for hip hop. I used it anyway.

Selective picking is usually a metal/prog technique, I wanted to see what it sounds like inside a hip hop groove instead. This is the whole idea behind how I teach: jazz harmony, funk pocket, and hip hop rhythm aren't separate skill sets, they're one shared language.

Here's another look at the selective picking bass composition — this time breaking down a different section of the piece. This technique, inspired by Tosin Abasi's right-hand approach, gets applied here through a hip hop lens rather than the metal/prog context it usually shows up in.
Full breakdown and full performance are linked in my bio if you want to dig into the whole piece.
