James Jamerson/The Temptations - "I Can't Get Next To You" (Bass Playalong)

My reading of Jamerson's line on the early funk classic.

New transcriptions are also posted on my blog: arcellus.blogspot.com, and there is an archive of my transcriptions at www.arcellussykes.com.

I also do custom transcription work!

That's great what ur doing I never knew how important a bass is to music... Do u play any other Jameson tunes? The Funk brothers

[arcellus]

@stevieplez2 Yep, lots of Jamerson. Check my other vids.

Thanks for sharing...you have done your homework...I grew up listening to Jamerson, of course, not knowing who he was b/c there was no credit given. To see someone young carry on Motown...it's great. You sound sick!

[MelloBlend]

Nice job my man.  Great control and keep up the good work

[SMKdrums8793]

do you have a tab for this?

[hahabass]

Tell me man, what are you playing through? That Pbass sounds heavy.

[michaelofpetaluma]

Incredible !! James Jamerson defined the r&b bass sound and more. Your playing is fantastic. I love it.

[TrackRat]

Much respect man, BUT...you're too far down in the mix on this one! Not many folks can do this shit like you can. We want to HEAR you!

[ZroToleranceROCKS]

You are one funky motherfucker. Keep it up, I love the Jamerson covers!

[anthonykalcic]

OK arcellus.

I am going to challenge you.

See what you can do with Boogie on Reggae Woman by Stevie Wonder.

I think you would have great fun with this one!

[Silaxian]

[kenitostudio]

[cuntmeinsir]

This is outstanding my friend. I've checked out some of your other video's as well and again you've nailed them. I'm still learning bass and would like to know how long it has taken you to reach this standard?
