Many thanks
James Jamerson made this bassline Immortal.
Great job on performing in my opinion, the Greatest Bass Line of all time. The spacing of the notes and the timeing of playing them, is what makes this bass line stand out of all other's, especially since it was written back in the early 70's.
What the hell could 87 people POSSIBLY dislike about this video? You're not using a '62 P-Bass with a rosewood fretboard? You're using 2 fingers instead of 1? You're not plugged into an Ampeg B-15?
This is one the best covers I've ever seen and heard. The tone is JUICY, your phrasing and groove is on point. Ignore the haters. They're stupid.
They probably wanted tab in the first part of video ;) thanks a lot!
Thank Heavens for the Bass Gods and those who make their magic eternal....
A bassist provides depth and soul
Finally found one that was played correctly!
I can’t believe that the bassist does more that we think.Congratulation
This is such a CLASSIC BASS LINE!!! A real true Bass affectionado WILL ALWAYS appreciate this groove! I put this in the same category of that CLASSIC GUITAR LINE ' My girl ' by The Temptations!!! James Jamerson and Guitarist Robert White were soooooo underrated 😳 👌!
This is so boss! Thanks for exposing the DNA of this masterpiece.
I love the suspended chords of the great one. Mr James Jamerson.
this is absolutely awesome! I'm not a bassist, but james jamerson is incredible!! Even to me!
Great mix, and great cover.
One of my all time favorites to play. It took me months to learn how to play this Jamerson style - with one finger. They called him the hook. His bass lines were melodies, an amazing talent. May he RIP.
I was a personal friend of Jamersons he taught me how to play the bass I have music tracks that my dad producer Miles Grayson used Jamerson on bass my dad Miles Grayson arranged songs like The Troggs
Wild Thing and Going up the country Canned Mike Grayson RESPECT MUSIC BMI Jamerson my friend will always be missed.
James Jamerson, bass player royalty.
Jesus the man was a genius.
There's a lot of shit on youtube, but one in every million videos you find some gold. There needs to be a Like button that registers multiple hits because one like per listener ain't doing this music justice.
the right comment to celebrate the 60,000 views. Thanks a lot my friend.
This is fantastic! Almost every note below the fifth fret...just like he played it...lots of open strings. And the score to follow along?!? this is awesome! THANKS!
Glad you enjoied my work 🙏🏻
Well don't forget what "Chester and Lester" said..."ain't nothin past the fifth fret"❤❤❤ (Chet Akins and Les Paul)
I was 9 try old and let me tell you this was a significant Album I even bought it.
Beautiful and timeless album. Check ‘Mercy Mercy Me’ too th-cam.com/video/8qL_pB_xA1w/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for making this video!!!
right on !
Words cannot describe. Your playing is a great cover and perfect! Jamerson's playing is beautifully complex. A nice contrast at the end to see His virtuosity and how he made the song.( when heard without his playing.) Well done!
This video is a great service to all bass players. A play along and the music without the bass, both with transcriptions. Very generous. Thank you!
On www.basscommunity.it you can find the pdf too
IMHO ..The greatest bassline in the history of recorded music.
You nailed it.....! Nothin' but luv man...
Brad Beam thanks a lot dear 🙏🏻
True. True.
I totally agree with you, the greatest bass line of all time recorded music
Nice job. Not easy to cop the Jamerson feel but this is really great. You hear something new every time you listen to this immortal classic, 50 years later.
Thank you for a wonderfully well-executed cover of one of THE classic bass lines of all time. A masterpiece, in every level.
Thanks a lot! 🙏🏻
Damn....this is sooooooooooooooooo good. He is a God in the studiol
Thanks for keeping this music alive and available to younger (and older) players. Awesome piece of work.
Thanks a lot 💚🎵
Yea boy...you got a fat sound goin on there brother....
soundin good..
brother James Jameson on the bass....
I grew up in Detroit and I worked my butt off to learn how to play bass like Jimmy Jamerson. I was very good, but you're GREAT! Well done.
thanks a lot my friend. i would like to visit Detroit, where the magic happened
La storia del basso elettrico moderno in questa linea di James Jamerson. Pezzo iconico.
Assolutamente SI!
great job brings such a powerful song time and bass line ...
tears to my heart ..wow ....thank you
Three things I haven’t notices until now: 1. A vast frequency range; lot of high notes without sounding thin. 2. How he keeps it more simple when Marvin sings as to create more space for the vocals. 3. The instrumental part is actually the most monotonous 😲 which is the place many would play more intensely. Cool video
Yes, I agree!
I think flat wound strings are the James Jamerson secret to get that nice old school sound ,
Sure
Thank you for tabbing this song. I'm self taught and I play by ear and tab and I've alway's loved this song.
You‘ re welcome!
You are locked in! Thank you for this. Cheers!
Wow. Great camera angle. Totally useful. Thank you.
Beautiful!
Top class Bass playing but listen to the violin arrangement its awesome.
Wow... so incredibly close and spot on. Gave me chills listening to you.
Thanks a lot
BEST copy of James' playing outside of my self, I've ever heard.. beautiful job, thank you!
Superb, Fabio. Just superb!
dopo anni lo rivedo e mi stupisco ancora della tua bravura! Super Fabio!!
Grazie Leonardo ♥️
Wasn't James amazing with the one finger. Man that was real fine!
Love it. Absolutely brilliant. Well done.
THAT IS GREAT !!! A KEEPER ! Thanks for the time and effort mate. This will save me some precious time !
Eccellente amico mio, eccellente.
Grazie di cuore 💚
Bravo, thanks for sharing Fabio! 😎👍🏼🔥
very very nice
I love the way you play this. There is precision in your phrasing that I can learn from. Thank you for your time and effort. Subscribed.
very pleased of this, thank you :)
This video with the two different sections helps me a lot to get this one into my fingers. It's a different thing to play along without the orignal bass pumping in the background and being on your own. Practicing Jamerson's lines is never boring. Thankyou for your effort!
glad to be helpful to your learning.
@@basscommunity Welcome. I use the book "Motown Bass Classics" published by Hal Leonard. It contains 21 Songs (including this one) with notes, tabs and lyrics (helpful to find your way through some of the rhythmically difficult parts). Too bad there is nothing of the Jacksons in it. There's probably a copyright issue, but I can still warmly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn the Jamerson stuff. It can be found on the big A.
@RackwitzG I have the classic "standing in the shadows of motown", but I systematically find inaccuracies in the published transcriptions, so I prefer to do them on my own. Moreover it is an excellent exercise for the ear ;-)
@@basscommunity I guess that one is a musthave but I've read that the transcriptions are without tabs - and as you've said, they are said to be inacurate. I may start to read one day, but tabs are so much easier and you easily find almost everything in tabs. I'm still a beginner and want to enjoy myself for the time being. Maybe later. :-)
Absolutely,...Beyond,...PERFECT!!!!! - Great Job! Thank You!
Thanks a lot Ernie!
You're Welcome, Mr. Farbio "Jamerson!"
Such a groovy kind of playing awesome !!!!!!!!!
Glad that you have it in both ,
Knowing both is inportant . like knowing the neck all the way up .
When I started to play bass there was no tab. Just standard notation .
I was 15. Now 56.
But tab is great for showing exactly how it is played . I don't see numbers i see the notes
this is my new challenge. Thanks!
good work!
Well played.
great stuff Fabio, thank you for posting one of the great mans classics. For me its a great learning video. Clear technique and camera angle is superb.
Glad you enjoyed this :)
Muchas gracias, tante grazie. Bello bello video!!! Auguri desde Argentina
You‘ re welcome !
~ 👏🏽 ~ Bravo!
Brilliant! Thank you!
Great job!!!
Fantastic resource thank you
Beautiful, thank you!
Fabio, muito obrigado!!
Awesome!
So sweet and clean. Thanks so much!!
You're Welcome, and thanks so much!
This is the greatest video on TH-cam - EVER!
I think is too much... But... Thank you!
Já assisti esse vídeo umas 300 vezes pra pegar essa música pensei que era fácil mas é difícil e muito bem planejado música muito bonita o baixo é o instrumento que faz a diferença nessa música
I would prefer an isolated track. I didn’t realize this was just a cover version. Even so I think he did an excellent job
Isolated bass track here: th-cam.com/video/H1IkDDZnx2A/w-d-xo.html Thanks a lot for your appreciation 🙏🏻
This is so beautiful!! What a groove!! What bass lines!! and also you sound great! Thank you!
Awesome thank You
Thanks so much for this!!!!!
u welcome!
This is beautiful.
Bravo
Outstanding
million thanks for this helpful tab!
You welcome
This is terrific. Nice job.
thanks a lot!
The funny thing about this bassline is that Jamerson probably never played it the same more than one. This recording is purely unique to that one session
Sure!
Enorme Fabio,complimenti!!
Grazie caro Maestro!
Perfeito ❤💥🙌👏👏
Super Job!
Excelente. Estou praticando com seu vídeo. Muito bom. Obrigado por compartilhar um conteúdo de uma forma tão completa!
happy you enjoy this!
Awesome video. Thank you for posting.
Glad for your appreciation
Your welcome😊
That part before the third verse, on the B, really nice work there, the whole thing is pretty great, nice to see this visualized; I've only recently been exploring doing more playing in the 1-5 fret area on the D and G, and this is a great visual guide to doing that. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
Right! Remember: Jamerson comes from Double Bass, so his left hand was almost everytime there (1-5 fret area) going on the rest of the neck when needed. Thanks for comment and have a good practice!
It appears that he is playing in the key of B dominant 7 (Essentially a major scale with a minor 7) with a lot of chromatic movement within that key. If you ever take the time to study Jamerson's work and transcriptions, you'll find that it is very typical of how he plays. You should take a look at 'For Once In My Life' by Stevie Wonder... I managed to learn that bass line, but it took me MONTHS to learn it, due to how intricate it is. Jamerson's work is a good source on how to expand your bass playing, and to become a great bass player too.
Fun fact: Marvin Gaye liked his work so much, that he wanted to find him to play on THIS track, and went to many bars/nightclubs to find him. He finally stumbled across an inebriated Jamerson (Of which became his demise sometime later, due to cirrhosis of the liver and complications of pneumonia), of which he was too intoxicated to sit up straight, while recording. So instead, they layed him on his back, and he played this drunk, while laying on his back... Hahahahahaha!
nailed it
this is sick!
Badass!
Thanks!
Very nice!
Thanks!
Brilliant!
You play it very good and the score is very useful for the bass player who tries play this song for the first time.
I don't understand why 36! people don't like this.At least I like this very very much.
Thanks for the compliments, pleased you find this video useful! For the dislike issue, i have a 'serial hater' who use fake accounts to make this every time i pubblish a new video.
Now I understand that why this great movie has 36 hates.This is very good video anyway. Keep up and good work !
I think it's due to the fact that most people that like to learn songs like this are most of the time beginners and they can't read notes. If you've added Bass tabs at the bottom it would have made a difference and everybody would be happy.
Just saying ...
bass players with serial haters... what a fu**ed up world :(
nice job, Fabio
for tabs and backing track simply skip to second half of the video! I prefer to put tabs only there to invite players to read notes (an important skill to develop) ;-)
CONGRATS...….EXCELENT FINGERS.....& TIMING--------
Thanks a lot 🙏🏻
Genius
This is the best
man that so cool
Superb!🙌🏻🙌🏻🍎
