chrisaxe Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Hi, I stumbled upon an amazing Jamerson bass break on the 1968 Marvin Gaye track ‘At Last (I Found A Love)’ and decided to look at it in closer detail on my Jamerson Analysed blog. Full transcription, breakdown of the line and video available at http://www.jamersonanalysed.co.uk/2017/12/at-last-i-found-love-marvin-gaye-1968.html Enjoy!

Kevsy71 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Cheers Chris, I hadn't heard that one! Much appreciated for the video and the breakdown. My goal next year is sight reading, and I'll certainly be looking through your Jamerson transcriptions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Nice bass playing, but is that Jamerson? Jamerson was renown for his technique of changing his lines in every verse. By 1968 I wouldn't expect to hear him playing the same line throughout the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that it is Jamerson, yes. The track is from the Marvin Gaye album 'Heard It Through The Grapevine'... the album displays a wide variety in his playing, with some of the tracks showing Jamerson 'changing his lines in every verse', and other more repetitive figures - such as on this track. Even his bassline on the title track is relatively simple when compared to some of his busier work, but it is definitely still Jamerson.

Heathy Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 This is great, thanks for posting. I have recently decided to study Jamerson's style, so this couldn't have come at a better time for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
