James Jamerson Bass Guitar Excersise

in #bass7 years ago (edited)

I first became aware of this exercise when I checked out the "Standing in the Shadows of Motown : James Jamerson" book.

After moving things around in all 12 keys and in a few different positions, I could really feel those chromatic leading tones sneaking into my playing.

Hope ya'll enjoy!

Big up to the amazing 6 String Ranch for the great video. (Matt Smith and Ben Root, ya'll rock!)

Solid tutorial @wadeboat! I'm a big fan of your motown get down jams. Video has great quality too - did you/do you work for Supro?

Glad we crossed paths yesterday at the shoot! I grabbed some brief phone footage from last night if you feel like checking out my recent vlog (about five minutes in or so).

Looking forward to following you on here man! See you soon bro.

My good friend and mentor at the studio I work at has a close connection with Supro so we get some great opportunities to try out some of their new products etc. We shoot a lot of videos at the 6 String Ranch (http://www.6stringranch.com) so I'm glad that you dig the quality, we've worked hard to get it to that point! I'd love to have ya over some time and chat, we need some extra video help from time to time ;) .

Jamerson Rules!!!

THANKS @melbookermusic , hope ya dug the video! I'll keep posting more as they come up.

Yes indeed!!! Great video.
