Jamerson’s sense of building and releasing tension through melody AND syncopation is just otherworldly. Love this performance so much.
Indeed he had that ability as you perfectly described of tension through melody and syncopation that nobody could do!
One of the best days of my life was playing this bassline in Uni, and the lecturer telling me “I didn’t think you would ever be able to pull it off like that. You nailed it!” Truly an amazing bassline. James Jameson was the master.
Awesome. I'm a guitarist, but have a bass and have played in several bar bands and I always loved Jameson's artistry. He really helped make Motown a cornerstone of Americana. Apple pie, baseball, George Washington, and Staxx Records and Motown!
Oh hell yes
Any of those bars would make a terrific riff on its own for a complete song, and here you have tens following each other and never repeating. Unbelievable! Congrats on nailing it so well, sir!
I want you bass world to know once and for all that when you hear the word 'bass line' this is the man it came from. It was Jamerson who transformed a 'riff' into a 'line', that is, perhaps due to his jazz roots made the bass interesting over a series of bars in a story like 'line' as different to what was played then. As a matter of fact this is still what is played now and wrongly called bass lines, a figure comprised of one or two bars played again and again IS NOT A BASS LINE. These a are riffs having only 'instant' vertical interest as opposed to horizontal one. As an example, listen to the wonderful baseline to 'For Once In My Life', not a single bar is repeated even though the chord progression repeats over and over again!
Bass players just think differently. My ears always focus on the melody so when I hear this bass line, and see it being played, my brain goes bonkers. Well done!
This is maybe my overall favorite bass line. It has some funky aspects, it's jazzy, melodic, and yet subtle - somehow. In other words, it complements the music, without overpowering the song. James Jameson really was the "father of American bass playing". He never heard a song that his bass lines did not improve!
Masterpiece album!!! James Jamerson The Man!!!
and let's not forget Bob Babbitt, "Inner City Blues" also has a beautiful bassline
@@SrTubular I just discovered this song. Beautiful and with special atmosphere and groove im any way
Great job. Amazed that people say they learned this as a first song ...or want to play it after 3 days on bass. Dont think some realize how good Jamerson was
I mean its not an especially difficult song. Obviously you have to have some familiarity and fluidity with the instrument to play it properly, but a lot of the faster licks are patterns and motions that came naturally to me as I was learning, and I believe come more naturally for a lot of players. I don't know about learning this as a first song, but compared to other well known Jamerson lines, this one is pretty simple
I think its still a pretty hard song to play how it is suppost to be played with all the varriations and different ritmes and fast licks certainly no beginner song
It's my first song I'm learning, and it's easy to learn. Hard to master. Like everything that's fun long term
I totally agree.... I can play much more difficult lines, but this one is very hard according to me. Not in the technical way but in the groove and syncopated way....
bro i’ve been playing 3 years currently on grade 7 this is one the songs i need to do and im stuggling a bit ☹️
James Jamerson bassline 😍
Always loved this song. The way it moves through the minor...sounds like the city. Please more Motown bass lines.
Could you post the most beautiful bassline of all times: Darling dear by Jackson 5 with James Jamerson on bass
Love this one
My favourite too! X Sken.

The syncopation of this bass line comes from so deep in the soul and so crazy talented!
I read an urban legend that James Jamerson was so drunk that he couldn’t sit on his stool while he played this bassline and most of the others on this album, so he recorded them on the floor. Absolute boozer legend.
It's not really an urban legend.
There's video of the other musicians present at the session telling the story.
Apparently, they were trying it with another bass player, Jamerson being off duty for the night.
It wasn't working, so someone went out to look for Jamerson.
He was found in a bar and brought to the studio.
He was too drunk to sit on the stool, so he lay flat on his back, with someone holding a piece of paper with the chords written down, and improvised this bass line.
Such a boss performance. Love your attention to Jamerson’s right-hand technique!
Right on
That little descending line at 1:25 gets me every time!👍👍
Oh my god this bassline is gorgeous
Bass definition. Bass curves. Bass inner city. Bass solid.
I audibly said "hell yeah" without realizing when I saw you uploaded this!
Props bro. You killed it. Not an easy one. A constantly changing line.🎉
My favorite bass song ever.
This song and the whole album is a masterpiece. Thanks a lot man. Jamerson was a genius
Great songwriting and singing from Mr. Marvin Gaye, along with that Motown production value and Jamerson playing his melodic, grooving', Jazz-tinged bass stylings, all equals an amazing song.
One finger!!!! Outstanding!
Got my first bass yesterday! I'd had enough nights watching you play, your tabs are so easy to follow, thank you.
I listened to this song for more than 35 years without getting tired of it, what a wonderful song, just fabulous tank you
Wow. This is one of your best ones yet. Absolutely nailed it.
Amazing cover. Great attention to detail with the 1 finger plucking and the foam mute!
Probably the best video to learn this song on bass. You demonstrate the bassline with exceptional accuracy and did a great job sizing the bass tab so that I cas actually read it while playing and looking down at my phone.
the best album of the ‘70’s, the best bassist of all time (j jamerson) and an adorable cover video which obviously shows the beauty of the all lines. thanks very very much
i love this channel, i would have probably never discovered this song without it. Great stuff
One of my favourite Jamerson basslines
I've been following your tabs for quite some time. Always spot on and a great tool to learn the bass parts. Thank you!
I’ve been waiting for this one fire so long, thank you!!!
Best bassline ever. Just amazing.
I waited so long for this cover, thanks! :)
Every time I think I played it right it just ain't the same. Jamerson was truly the greatest.
Well done. Love those old melodic bass lines.
The Jamerson claw. Great job. Respect !
Love the sponge. Such a Motown sound!!
....he played like he was walking..smooth asf...but I hear he couldn't while recording this....amazing...
This is just such a wonderful song and performance, bravo!
Thank you for doing this. Can't wait to practice later today 🤗
NICE JOB !!! Thank you - going to-play this tomorrow - your vid and tab going to rocket me forward!
Yeahhhhhh!!! The most beautiful bass line they say. Well said!
Ahhh attention to detail.. I see you even have the foam under the bridge like Jameson!!!! Awesome
now play drunk laying flat on your back , like it was recorded kekw
Honestly Jameson being drunk explains the note placement so well
Is that really how he recorded it originally?
@@Louiespeaksbass yes, it's one of his most notable stories
In one take at that the man was a beast
Did that, brother, at a party. And put blindfolds on just to mess with everyone.
What’s beautiful bass line!!!!
Great playing and interpretation of the signature lines and groove of the incomparable James . . .
感動したよ！！！！！！
Excellent has always!
Incredibly great playing. To the tee. Nice job Man!!
What a great job on a awesome song.. thank you.. can’t wait to work on it… have a great day..
Great playing !!!! 👌👏👏👏👏
Great bass line! Thanks
thanks a lot for your tabs, great playing ! i'm gonna hard practice on it :)
Love it! Thanks!!!!
Yesss so cool! Thank you for that ! 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing, man. As usual.
I never really thought about learning this song but it was actually fun to play. Thanks for uploading it.
Holy smokes that toneeee
Music 2 my ears!🎧🎶❤️🎶🎸
Keep it coming man
Holy shit. Amazing. Made me think of trying to learn the part from the bass book “Standing In the Shadows of Motown.” This makes it a little easier. Thank you! 🙏🤘🏾
Adore this baseline
OMG so beautiful 😲
MUITO BOM, PARABÉNS,
One of the first songs I learned on bass. Thanks for doing this one.
I've been playing the bass for 3 days. Do you recommend this song, or not yet?
@@Pablo-zk6ug I'd say if you really like the song go for it, but start slow and focus on your technique rather than speed to get the basics down
Edit: And also don't take the "one-finger-plucking" as an example as it is an exception not the standart
@@Pablo-zk6ug I had played cello for a few years before picking up bass so I had relevant experience going into this song. Try out Ain't No Mountain High Enough, same bassist, same channel, easier song czcams.com/video/_eFix3eI3vk/video.html
@@NathanJ9 Easier???
@@Pablo-zk6ug as with any more "feel" oriented song, it's difficult to play "properly" I wouldn't recommend it for that reason. Something that plays straighter would be a better choice while you still learn the fundamentals.
I just noticed that you only play with one finger, just like Mr. Jameson. Well done.
So the funk brothers said james jamerson was drunk and played this song in one take while laying down on the floor. The godfather of modern bass gave us a blue print on how to play
Esta va estar buenísima!
Great feel on this. Could you cover I'm So Glad You Belong to Me? It's a song by Edwin Star and Blinky with Jamerson on bass. Or Stepping on a Dream. Cheers.
VERY NICE
Anyone have any mute recommendations? I have one, but it seems like the action is too high on my bass.
great
man this rhythm is so hard to get right… been playing for years but jamerson is always the biggest challenge to truly master
The rhythm is hard but also you have no idea where the line is gonna go. It's seems so effortless but is deceptively difficult to get properly right
Great tab - it should be noted that, as on the original recording, the tempo speeds up during the song. Starts around 100 bpm and finishes around 103 bpm.
Awesome👍
Please do coffee shop by RHCP, we need a good cover for that, especially with tabs.
Great song!!!
But there is so much music out there and so many RHCP videos already. Let CS tap the broadest possible audience. In the meantime, become a patron and reuqest “Coffee Shop”; that way you’re guaranteed to get it. Costs $5/month.
@@michaelmasiello6752 It’s just a humble request, you don’t need to make such a big deal about it. Sorry if I offended you in some way or another. It’s not my fault I don’t want to pay money to become a patron.
@@michaelmasiello6752 Also, when you said ‘Let CS tap the broadest possible audience’, how do you know that not many people want to see the song played as a cover? I mean, why else would people be liking my comment?
@@michaelmasiello6752 And when you said ‘there are so many RHCP videos out there already’ most of the CS RHCP videos get loads of views. Literally, go into the videos tab on his channel and sort by ‘most popular’ Most of those videos are RHCP songs.
Awesom
LOL! Second time I watched the vid saw the sponge near the bridge. Right on.
I just subscribed! :)
Gracias 👏
Perfecto wn!
Además con la esponjita imitando el sonido del mismisimo J Jamerson.
Podrías hacer Save The Children del mismo disco, es peludisima
Saludos crack
Post Isolated Version, great playin! 6 days ago!
No hay ninguna tab para I Can Make You Feel Good de Shalamar (y tiene una línea bastante buena), sería brutal si pudieses hacer una cover, saludos :)
The sponge mute, I love it.
Make a cover of the two basslines of "go robot" by RHCP please
please do shine by collective soul
Geniaaaal 🤙😝🤙
Are there tabs for this? It's not included in the link with the other songs.
0:15
Man, what strings did u use for this? Perfect tone
Could you post a bass cover of The Marvelettes’ “My Baby Must Be a Magician”. It might be James Jamerson on bass
Finally!
Dude could you play symphony by Marvin ?
MI Like para Ud gran master
They're wonderful singing voice and song, but the phrase James Jamerson plays is play of a god.
Call of Ktulu is gonna be awesome
