Good lesson. It's worth practising all these patterns using just your index finger for plucking consistency and also raking up as well as down. There's a whole avenue of possibilities once you get into it. Diana Ross and the Supremes - Love Is Here And Now You're Gone is a great bass line
@@ebassguitar It didn't work for me at first (I'm a three finger and thumb player), neither did palm mute thumb only or double thumbing (still working on it) or the Bernard Edwards "chucking" technique, but all of these repay a bit of applied practise and bring rewards over time! Jamerson anchored his other fingers on the p/u cover and used a floating thumb to assist with muting and articulation. One day I hope to be more proficient using a pick as well although that has always been the least favourite. It's all good ✌☝👍👋
Great video lesson. Just starting out on BLP so guess it will take me some time to fully get to grips with this one. But love the descriptions and explanations. The fill notes and connecting ohrases are great; but that's a whole different lesson I guess and these really bring the concepts to life. Great stuff.
Wow 🤔 so many! The entire Diana Ross presents the Jackson 5 LP except the tune I want you back which wasn’t Jameson playing the Bass! + What’s going on…..there’s too many great ones 🎵🎶
Favourite Motown bassline is on the track "Remember Me" by The Trinikas. If you would ever do a tutorial on this one!! And yes, get this Pbass! czcams.com/video/1iX1UXqscSM/video.html
:) 10 second motown bass line hack : go get the sponge! But seriously, my favourites have to be "whats going on" or "for once in my life". So incredibly nice stuff from the man himself!
My Fave is Stevie Wonder's "I Was Made To Love Her,"
me too. 👍
That one is mind-boggling. The number of variations he gets, and then repeating the same figure on "Hey, hey, hey....!"
Great tune, Tom!
Got to be There, so melodic, just moves the music along without detracting from the lead vocals. Beautiful.
Totally!
Both versions of Heard It Through the Grapevine !!
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing that!
My Girl, is the only Bass Line I can listen too over and over and never get tired of.

Yeah, personally the james Jamerson 1 finger technique doesn’t work for me... but I agree it’s great for tone consistency.

I love Jamerson, but my favourite Motown bass line is actually Wilton Felder’s Jamerson-style line on Jackson 5s “I Want You Back”.
Ah yes! I like that too! Thanks for sharing!
There are many but always loved Bernadette may be my top! A second to that would be It's A Shame. But honestly, I love them all.
Love that tune!
Ain't No Mountain High Enough.
Love that, Martin! Great choice!
Darling Dear by the Jackson 5
Great choice that's a nice tune! Cheers!

Glad you like it Steve! More videos coming!
Whats going on is a very tasty bass line.
Great tune!
favorite bass lines so far are from "Its a shame" "I was born to lover her" "Signed sealed delivered" and "For once in my life"
Love it!!!
Bob Babbitt on Signed Sealed and Delivered.
What’s going on is just perfect
I agreee
