  1. [quote name='natjag' timestamp='1427558516' post='2731747'] Nice work, great sound and playing, however Is that Jameson or Carol Kaye you've analysed though? [/quote] That debate is a whole other discussion...
  2. [quote name='Simon' timestamp='1427448173' post='2730403'] Good stuff, Chris and very insightful. I consider Jamerson one of my favourite players, and recall doing much of my music degree based on his playing/work. I hope however, it doesn't put people off buying a really tremendous book! (maybe a link on your site to it on Amazon or something?) [/quote] Good idea - now added to the website.
  3. So here is a new post on my Jamerson Analysed website. This time it's 'Bernadette' by the Four Tops. Have a look and share around! Chris. www.jamersonanalysed.co.uk
  4. [quote name='niceguyhomer' timestamp='1378016757' post='2194631'] Thanks for that Chris, brilliant. Hard to believe he played those basslines with one finger (The Hook). Like your playing and great tone, as a matter of interest what strings are you using? [/quote] I know, it's crazy isn't it? I'm just using some very old Dean Markley Blue Steels with a foam mute.

  10. Hello! I though you would like to know that there is a new post on my blog 'Jamerson Analysed'. The track is 'Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing' by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. This track, and the others that I have analysed can be found here http://jamersonanalysed.blogspot.co.uk/ Hope you enjoy it! Chris.
  11. For all who may be interested, here is my Jamerson Analysed blog. Feel free to take a look! http://jamersonanalysed.blogspot.co.uk/ Cheers!

  13. [quote name='musophilr' timestamp='1327443249' post='1511449'] Chris, you choose a superb bass player to study. May I suggest: 1. Your blow-by-blow account of how the bass line goes may well be accurate but have you thought of a slightly "higher" level of analysis? For example where you describe the G-7 in the "Climb up to Chorus 1" he's descending a G-7 arpeggio until he gets to the A and the F# at the end. 2. Nit-picking here but I'm sure they'll want you to be accurate: the G# near the beginning of chorus 1 is an augmented 4th. You could notate it as Ab to retain your textual description. 3.(related to 1) description of last 2 bars of the bridge: Can you say what scale he's using? Apart from the chromaticism, he's mainly sticking to the G aeolian (natural minor, 6th mode of Bb). The more you can describe it in terms of "this arpeggio" "that scale" the more you'll show that you've understood the music. If you can also show that you understand Eb/F as F11 and its use as a functional dominant (resolving to the Bbmaj7) you may get extra brownie points but the chord progression may well not be of Jamerson's composition, so outside the scope of your analysis. However, the way the chord progression moves is connected to the way the bass lines go (if you need a new root on the first beat of each bar how many chord tones, scale tones or passing notes are you going to use to get there?). The other thing is the rhythms. Are there any standard techniques you recognise and are there any names for them? Hope this helps, good luck! [/quote] That is very helpful! Thanks, Chris.
