Don't know how I picked this up but every time i hear James Jamerson I always pluck it with one finger just like the hook did. Cool habbit to have, along with this master bass teacher.
I love going through your lessons Jim! thank you Iam an accomplished bassist, and have been gigging for 40 yrs??!!...and still learning!..you help me with practicing the fundamentals every bassist should keep doing....thanks man...Carmon
@@realbasslessons9356 thanks for your great kindness (It's a real pleasure to have a direct contact with you. I started to play jazz bass five years ago with your Walking Bass method...so, I'm honoured for every answer , as a pupil with the master)
Ha! The movement in music of upward 4ths has been around for ever, and is common in many chord progressions. So, I suspect Jamerson also understood this.
Great lesson! Love that first riff! One question .... I keep struggling with the 3rd note ... starts with a C to the octave C, then it sounds like the open D-string and then to the E/F/G. One of your lessons says the open D-string was a ghost note. When I try the ghost note, it just sounds off. If I keep it an open D-string, it sounds fine until I start moving around and then the open D sounds off. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Excellent tutorial again. Jim outstanding thanks for sharing best wishes Paul

You are welcome Carmon. Thank you. :)
Rest in peace Jim
Awesome lesson as always, man! I wish you were my teacher back in '98, then I would have learned fundamental stuff that I wish I learned before :-)
Awsome !!! Now It comes to mind the '''She caught the Katy'' from Blues brothers soundtrack , haha !!
What kind of Squier is this? did you change the pick up? It sound great (I suspect not because of the bass but of the player ah ah ah)
"Classic Vibe '50s P". Yes, the pickup is Nordstrand.

Love the sound you have. Any particular set up on the amp or is it just the sound of the bass and the tapewounds ?
No EQ on the sound. No amp either. Straight into Garage Band. Must be the bass.
Was Jamerson familiar with the cycle of 4ths or is that something that came later?

Nothing wrong, just do it more.
Butter.
Jum do you offer zoom lessons
Can a beginner learn to play on a 5 string?
if you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.
Great video Jim, thanks so much! Can you share when your "R&B Bass" book will be released? I'm curious to give it a look. Thanks again!
Planned release is January
