Michael Jackson’s 1982 hit, “Human Nature” is known worldwide and has been covered by many artists including Stevie Wonder, Chris Brown, John Mayer, Miles Davis, Jason Nevins and many others.
It’s a relatively slow piece, so good for beginners, however MJ manages to fit a-lot of notes in one word sometimes, which may prove to be a fun challenge 🙂
