How To Play Bass - Learning From James Jamerson Volume 2: An 80-20 Bass Device Method Book

Build Your Bass IQ - More Advanced Concepts Pioneered By James Jamerson!
In Volume 1 of Learning From James Jamerson, we looked at the foundational devices and modifying devices found in the kind of lines Jamerson was laying down in Motown’s Studio A in the mid 60s.
In Volume 2 we’re going to build on those foundations and learn some more advanced ideas. Including: Jamerson’s favourite device - connect two chords whose roots are a major second apart using this jazz inspired device that you can find throughout Jamerson’s work from the early 60s (at a quarter note level) to his virtuosic work in the late 60s )at a 16th note level) (Section 2) One way to make exercises more challenging and less ‘learning by rote’ - introducincing the harmonic metronome (Sidebar 2). Three ways to use the octave modifying device to create ‘verticality’ in your bass lines (Section 3).

Techniques to add rhythmic subtlety to your lines in busy band settings (Sections 5 and 6) A walking bass technique that makes your bass lines more sophisticated - that almost none of your contemporaries are using (Sections 8 and 9)Start building on the foundational devices that Jamerson brought to the electric bass today.
