Amazing video, thanks! James Jamerson was a total legend and there's so much to learn whatever instrument you play

[Spritsailor]

James Jamerson played on 30 #1 hits and over 100 songs that made the top ten.

[andrewbarrett]

The amazing thing about Mr. Jamerson was that he didn't just play "riffs" or patterns, but a lot of his best work keeps changing and giving a different feel to the tune, harmonizing with the melody etc etc. It's very contrapuntal, like baroque music.

[silentyouber]

Thank very much sir! but you forgot the foam that is supposed to go under the bridge.

[sandynugraha]

Got here because of James Jamerson, but got hooked because of his eyebrows. I mean seriously, is that even real?! My wife is gonna envy him, she may wouldn't have to pencil her brows anymore if she got that kind of brows.

Nice playing btw, imma got my bass and practice.

Hi James, just dropping by to thank you for subscribing to our channel and we are loving your stuff mate. Keep them coming please, Awesome!

[jmontg]

Hey could you provide the tab for the line you played before the first riff. Definitely a boogie

[shoozunme]

Q: How about I was made to lover her? Boss bass line tha!!

[bassforkids]

How are you keeping other strings from ringing (muting) when playing a note? I see you don't use the floating thumb technique with the right hand and the fingers of your left hand don't look flat enough to the strings to stop ringing either.Are you using the 3rd finger of your right hand? I've been playing a couple of years but still have trouble stopping annoying string ringing at times.

[JB]

Another great lesson, but for the love of God get a P-Bass, put some heavy flats on it and put your plucking fingers up by the neck, as if the pickup cover was on there. Great channel!

[briancoyne]

That bass behind your head looks like a pair of devil horns. 😁

[MrWilko]

I've never played a Cb in my life. It's B, isn't it? But I can forgive that, coz I like your presentation.

[MetalMike]

I'm gonna play * where possible* with one finger 😁

[lockupl]

after reading my post you wont unseen his eyebrows :)

[franzturczynski]

With all due respect, you speak so fast and the sound is so unclear, even through headphones, that after listening about 10 times to understand what you said it was easier to copy the notes by ear than to figure out if you had said D or E or G. Seeing the TAB (without having to subscribe) would have been great. Sometimes giving away something little for free gives you much more in return. Cheers!
