In this video, I dive into the music theory behind the unique chord choices, how King seamlessly shifts between fingerstyle and slap bass, why his high bass positioning makes so much sense ergonomically, and how he manages to keep his technical prowess in check to serve the song. Plus, I test out his bass height myself—let’s just say it’s an adjustment! --------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Intro 1:13 Reaction / Analysis 15:43 Final Thoughts --------------------------------------------------- 📺 MORE REACTIONS: ▶️ "MR.
