  • Are those LaBella Deep Talkin' Flats you got on that P there?

  • Yes indeed!

  • Its really nice to see you playing the way Jamerson originally played, using "the hook". So many other videos people have made of his basslines have them playing with all the other fingers also. There's a special sound you get when you only use one finger, when that's all you have to work with, and that's so much of what made his playing so unique. Great job!

  • Thanks - that's right about the different sound, it's very hard to get it to sound right with 2 or more fingers IMHO...

  • You really have got it! My all time favourite Motown bass line is I'm Going To Make You Love Me especially the outro. Well done!

  • Cheers!

  • now i got !! big tune !! My bass is crying!!

  • fuck man i cant get the right notes!!

  • well done, im impressed, keep up the good work man

  • Great job.Although I heard all this music as a kid, I praised Geddy Lee and learned from him in the late 70's.Now when I hear this I think what an idiot I was to miss the soul and genius of basslines like these back then. But its never too late to learn it.!!!!

  • Dang.... What a sound..... In your fingers. Be proud.

  • man...you are doing James proud!

  • god i love when he drops that low-E bomb - on 3!! -- at the top of the first chorus.

    my man, you have got it right as usual. rock on.

  • You honour Jamerson with this groove, thank you.
