I found that over time, I began to hyper focus on my left hand. I tend to feel the groove in my left hand and I have 100% trust in what my right hand is doing since it’s my dominant hand.

[@AriaPro-II-SB-1000]

A great series of funky licks. Thanks for sharing.

[@henrys3138]

Hi, I'm an alternative bass player and normally don't look too hard into funk bass lines. However I got mad respect for funk bass and have no idea how they pull some of it off from a practical viewpoint. Hearing you play through E mixolydian helped me conceptualize it better. Thanks! I happened upon this video randomly.
