Stevie Wonder, “I Was Made To Love Her,” I love James’ groove on this song.❤

[@Bassistdan1]

This was absolutely BRILLIANT, James! You're an incredible groove-master, sir!

[@ebassguitar]

You’re very kind!

[@seanallen244]

So good.
Thankyou.
Loving any chance to get my head around any of JJ Lines At the moment.

[@chillywillie6283]

I’m so glad I found your channel because I recently purchased both a bass and lead guitar to learn how to play some of the classic music I grew up listening to as a child of the 1960s. I should have done this fifty two years ago when I first saw kids my age (Tito and Jermaine Jackson) playing guitar. But this is how l’m gonna spend my retirement years.

[@ebassguitar]

Hey thanks for sharing that Chilly! Wish you all the best, mate! Cheers!

[@Joey0367]

James the toughest part for me with these riffs is the timing. I guess with practice I’ll get the feel.

[@dariomaiello393]

You look so passionate and this sounds good✨

[@brandonwilliams3189]

My favorite Jamerson bass line is either Darling Dear or Standing In The Shadows of Love

[@ebassguitar]

Thanks for sharing that Brandon! Cheers!

[@samuelbrooks7854]

[@mikestrong4946]

BERNADETTE !

[@stevemercer6976]

That's a great tune, Steve! Thanks for sharing!

[@silentyouber2816]

For Once in My Life by Stevie Wonder. I love this video by the way; thank you for making this!

[@ebassguitar]

You're welcome!

[@bobcharlton9970]

Great lesson

[@ebassguitar]

Thanks so much Bob

[@TomO.3678]

Hey, James ✌🏻 My favorite bass line from Mr. Jamerson is from My Girl by The Miracles. I know you're a big fan cuz you play the same wonderful P Bass! 😎

[@ebassguitar]

Yeah, big fan

[@tariqzellable]

Thanks

[@ebassguitar]

Pleasure

[@Lucian_Galvan369]

[@lorrainedixon4365]

Brown baby-diana ross

[@leonardpoindexter5289]

Not to sound too trite, do I not hear You're My Everything bass lines carried over to this tune? Regardless thanks for another interesting vid.

[@ebassguitar]

Totally…

[@elducko1951]

My favorite is "Since You've Been Gone" - Aretha Franklin

[@ebassguitar]

I love that tune!

[@RichardHaleShaw]

I think that's the great Tommy Cogbill on bass on that one.

[@shooz4unme]

How does the count off relate the the bass line, when you count off 2-3-4 or 3-4 or 1-2-3-4 or & 3-4 n the like?

[@ebassguitar]

It’ll very from track to track depending on how it’s edited... but the first beat of the band is always the down beat or beat 1 of the bar

[@shooz4unme]

@@ebassguitar Understood. What’s the point of counting in 3-4 for instance?

[@donhodo4976]

Darling darling

[@TomJMarty]

Marvin Gaye’s track “What’s Goin’ On.”

[@ebassguitar]

Seminal

[@jackives8264]

Sorry, but I do not get any of the PDF excerpts you proclaim.

[@ebassguitar]

Have you used the link in the description?
If you need help, my support team are always available [e-mail]

[@joeseabreeze]

I'm not sure if that low E on the first riff works over a Cm

[@ebassguitar]

That’s why I said you might want to tweak some of the riffs ultimately… but to demonstrate a concept it works

[@martinheath5947]

It definitely works. Brief dissonances create tension and release in a bass line. Jamerson was master of chromatic twists and used 'wrong' notes in many of his most famous parts

[@edtaylor7816]

Bernadette. Hands down.

[@dman7619]

How Long has that Evening Train been Gone?

[@ebassguitar]

Love it

[@ebassguitar]

I recorded that ages back... most dig it out

[@bevtaylor5750]

Yes mate, one of my favourites as well you know James Eager

[@errolcampbell304]

Heard it through the grapevine

[@ebassguitar]

What a riff!

[@ebassguitar]

Legendary

[@stevemercer6976]

Which one? He was on both the classic Marvin Gaye version and the super-funky Gladys Knight version!

[@samboliah3691]

Who's Loving You, with Michael Jackson.

[@ebassguitar]

great tune, Sam! Thanks for sharing!

[@daveschaefer-author1097]

Sorry, but your notation is incorrect above. The rhythm on the first beat is an 8th and two sixteenths with the second sixteenth tied to the second beat. Also, in the fourth beat, it should be two-sixteenths ending with an eighth on the "and" of four.

[@ebassguitar]

Thanks for that dave!

[@sandrarussell5793]

💕💕💕👍

[@ebassguitar]

Thanks!!!

[@BelligerentBurgers]

You cheated, JJ used one finger :) Great tutorial.

[@ebassguitar]

Guilty as a charged!
