Jamerson bassline - Darling Dear (J5)

[RuroiniStenchin]

How the hell do you remember this with all the rests, intricacies, and shit.. I tried learning this and found it literally impossible?

Any tips?

@RuroiniStenchin

I just listen to it over and over before I play, but a better way would be to transcribe it properly and read it - it's just not something I enjoy or have time for!

[sdsck]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[64jazz]

Killer bass line, You nailed it man! Cheers!!!

[rbambery]

This is solid my brother. I'll never understand how Jamerson played like he did with 1 finger!

[AGTskank94]

ah such a great, beautiful bassline, but this here could have sounded so much better if it was in some really fast, powerful, upbeat funk song instead of something like Darling Dear

[HendrixPrinceFlea89]

can you plz put a lesson out on this song that would be so cool, you have such a good version.

[fishmeer]

Play the baseline to flashlight by George Clinton...THX

[fishmeer]

That's preety good ....Try playing Flashlight by george clinton....

[HendrixPrinceFlea89]

@fishmeer what the fuck you smokin?

[Phirestar579]

You are SICK and I mean that in the nicest way possible. Your playing is incredible!!!!

[Brilliantbeing]

Should be touring, man. Or quarantined to the studio by some top producer. Bottom line.

[jans1736]

Amazing again....Gavin you play some sick bass lines. I don't know why you aren't touring or in the studio every day you'd want to be. Amazing...

[ChaosDragon924]

it's Jamerson's Hook, a reference to James Jamerson; one of the if not THE greatest bassists ever. Try Wikipedia for more info.

[XanBcoo]

Don't worry, I can't help but read it as "Jamerson Shook" either, :p

[Markgr122]

@XanBcoo - Me too. funny.

[hfoster66]

Yo, that was PHAT!!

[ANAALLAH1]

Thank you Jamerson's Hook I appreciate you doing I have a even greater respect for you now. Long live Jamerson's legacy!!!!!!

[Brilliantbeing]

God Bless You, Jamersonshook. Just listen a little more and you'll have it down pat. Your tone is absolutely marvelous.

Put your resume in with all of today's (and yesterday's) top soul groups, and you could quit your day job tomorrow.

You are reviving a lost art.

[nospam1950]

Sounds to me like he already has it down!

[bassmarion]

[zaksnaporaz]

[bassfiddlesteve]

Wonderful! Work that hook!

[happyslappysoong]

bass sounds muffled though...

[jamersonshook]

Cheers - youtube is killing my audio at the moment when they process the file - I'm hoping it's temporary!!
