greghagger Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Fancy a bit of Motown? In this video lesson I take a look at five bass lines from some of my favourite classic Motown tunes. All these bass lines are the work of The Don of Motown - James Jamerson. I have also written them out on a PDF which you can download from the video description on YouTube There is a notation or Tab version. Let me know what you think of the video.

No matter what kind of music people play, I don't see why any bass player wouldn't spend time getting Motown basslines under their fingers, just to learn the art of propulsive melodic groove. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, so much to learn from Motown bass lines. The art of being busy but playing what’s appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
