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.

I agree, so much to learn from Motown bass lines. The art of being busy but playing what’s appropriate.
