Product Description

Synopsis

Bassist James Jamerson was the embodiment of the Motown spirit and groove-the invisible entity whose bass playing inspired thousands of imitators, and made it impossible for anyone to sit still whenever a Motown record was playing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great If You Read Music, 20 Sep 2003
By R HARRIS (Blackwood, Gwent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I endorse the other reviews. This is a great book for bass. You can really get moving when playing theses tunes.
However, beware that the notation used is musical. There is NO TAB. Therefore you must be able to read music or the book is hard/impossible to follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bassists need this!, 24 May 1999
By A Customer
James Jamerson was the greatest bassist ever, and every bassist of note acknowledges his influence. Some of the world's greatest bassists play his tracks on the 2 CDs, which you can listen to as just bass, just the other instruments or both. Your bass playing will improve, and so will your groove. Don't buy any other bass books until you've learned everything in this one. If you play bass, get this book now, and if you don't play, get the book anyway and start funking!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book, a definite for anyon who plays bass!!!!!, 3 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This is a must have if you play upright or electric bass, even if you just love motown music. I use the book and its CDs for teaching myself and others the incredible styling and technique of James Jamerson, the "Funk Machine". Dig it.
