In my opinion one of the hardest if not the hardest jamerson bassline to learn. Darling Dear was a walking in the park compaired to this bass line. I still cant get the chorus
awesome job man, would u mind helping me out with the chorus, i can't make any sense of the tabs i've looked at, i'm okay with intro and verses are okay but the chorus...
I can't get enough! I come back and listen to this about once a week for the last 6 months. I always wanted to hear the bass line to this when I was a kid and MAN! you are all over it! Thanks so much!
It's really great to see so many of this generation's bassist paying tribute to the great work of Mr. Jamerson, who, along w/ the other Funk Bros., went unheralded for FAR TOO LONG!!
I'm doing exams at the moment and chose this song. So I'm wandering if you can send me the backing track without bass. If you can send me a PM and I'll send you my email address.
thanks for us who grew up with these guys and gals. I wish I could do what you can do, just for one song. talent like yours is rare, please enjoy what you can provide for people, bless you!
he played in motown's funk brothers. The studio band who recorded in all of motowns recordings. He was one of a few bassists, but did a large amoutn of work. all great stuff.
jamersonshook: great playing by the way, love the tone with the flats and mute.
Hey drumtooloud! Everybody starts from the floor and works their way up by using influence from all directions - just like you are doing? Just remember that before you (and others) rush to denigrate others' efforts. Piss-taking arserags.

you have terrible form. who plays bass with their thumb in that postion? people who pretend to play the bass by looking up tabs and know nothing about notes. plus i could hardly tell that you split the video like 3 times (yeah right). you must have screwed up.
its called 'the hook' dipshit. it's how jamerson played if you know anything about bass its that technique is important for mocking other people's tone. you dont know shit.

true it is important to imitate techinique, but jamerson would only put his thumb there when he was playing the higher notes, not the whole time like you! who doesnt know anything now? hmm!?!
just back from a gig... needed a dose of jamersonshook... wish you weren't across the pound and I could get lessons from you. THE EAR is the THE THING. I read, I'm glad I do. But have to say I'm glad I started playing by ear first. Listening to Motown helps get you some good walking bass lines on keys. Frustrated bass player... pick up my man's sometimes and never want to put it down. Don't have time for 2 instruments. LOVE ALL YOUR VIDS! Keep 'em coming!
I AM A DEFINITE FAN-----AWESOME

Hello, your video is very good.
I try to find the tabs, but it's difficult to see what's you're doing because it's fast.
Do you have tabs of your video ?
