YOU have heard James Jamerson whether you know it or not - he was a legendary bassist who played on nearly every Motown record, and influenced every modern electric bassist who came later, from Paul McCartney to Robert DeLeo to Geddy Lee.
But Jamerson wasnât flying blind - he developed an exercise to help him practice his âchromatic approach to bass playingâ.
In this lesson, Iâll explain what the hell that means, and the three critical ingredients you need to take this from plain old finger workout to being a cheat code for legit bass lines in any style. Youâll learn how to:
- Make roots and fifths non-boring
- Use notes outside of the scale without creating chaos and destruction
- Play rhythms that sound more funky
- Identify which songs Jamerson played drunk
