Anyone who has the balls to take on a Jamerson masterpiece has earned my respect...Well done!!!

[@justsomebasslines]

thank you! have a look around the channel, i tackle a new Jamerson line every week - never a boring moment in his basslines!

[@grubboy3514]

@@justsomebasslines I will mate! Your an extremely competent player and a pleasure to watch 👍

[@mztbass]

Dude! By your cover done masterfully, BTW and all the comments, I finally realize I'm not the only one that LOVES this baseline, performed by the one-and-only James Jamerson. Thanks for sharing 🤗 🙏

[@rogerhammerstein3905]

THANK YOU!! I've always preferred this version of the song

[@frankortega4280]

One of my very favorite bass lines ever! Special thanks for this one Andrew. Awesome!

[@justsomebasslines]

you got it Frank, it's a favorite of mine too, glad you enjoyed!

[@koteynikoi-kotei9301]

One of the best love songs ever

[@johnlindsaygreen8547]

I noticed that you have that sponge underneath the strings, definitely a James Jamerson thang. 🔥💥🔥💥🎶🎼🎵🎸 Beautiful composition and playing too

[@justsomebasslines]

thanks John, gotta get that thumpy tone right :)

[@notfabio9858]

One of my all time faves. Love the bassline, great work

[@silentyouber2816]

Gonna learn this for sure! Thank you sir!!👍

[@justsomebasslines]

have fun!

[@regsmith7604]

You’re the best I’ve seen playing this, besides James Jamerson himself

[@justsomebasslines]

that's far too kind, thank you!

[@soulwayne2054]

Stellar performance!! Iconic bassline & song always loved & preferred this version 👌🏾 Thanks for doing this one! Terrific job 😎😎

[@justsomebasslines]

thanks buddy! i go back and forth on which version i prefer, but i love how extra the arrangement on this is - so many amazing little details in the orchestration. and, of course, you get to hear Jamerson go nuts there at the end, which is always a treat!

[@soulwayne2054]

My favorite jamerson bassline is Diana Ross - save the Children. Very unknown cover over Marvin Gaye’s original. Highly recommend checking that one out

[@soulwayne2054]

Your welcome 🙏🏾 Me and you alike 😅. The arrangement was terrific especially the ending 😬

[@justsomebasslines]

@@soulwayne2054 nice, i'll have to check it out - the Gaye version already has a beast of a bassline!

[@reichensperger1847]

Thank God you did the long version! You rarely hear it nowadays.

[@reichensperger1847]

You know, I've been listening to this song for 53 years now and it wasn't till your video that I understood how absolutely essential the bass part is to the feeling of this song -- and its slowly mountain crescendo. Somehow you've made the song new and fresh again.

[@Andyjefford]

Nice bass playing 👍

[@justsomebasslines]

cheers Andy!

[@Andyjefford]

@@justsomebasslines Hi, check out my new bass cover. ua-cam.com/video/DT9QeBuqT0M/v-deo.html Hope you like this one,thanks,Andy👍

[@solovoyager]

If I closed my eyes, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Great job!

[@3rduncle]

That was great fun.

[@michaelporter383]

Outstanding!

[@justsomebasslines]

thanks Michael!

[@BassicswithPaul]

Fantastic playing my friend! I love Motown bass. 🔥

[@justsomebasslines]

cheers, Paul! nobody did it quite like Jamerson and the Funk Brothers :)

[@jpvanhoy]

Damned IMPRESSIVE! Great work!

[@eoresco1]

10 !!!

[@realrussclarke]

Bad ass!

[@JJDoole]

Monster bassline from the master! Well played.

[@tonyarmentanobass8576]

Outstanding!! Love this song and this baseline!

[@justsomebasslines]

thank you Tony! i agree, it's one of Jamerson's greatest

[@marioguarini]

[@justsomebasslines]

[@onerva.]

awesome work! I was working on the Marvin & Tammi version earlier, maybe I'll be brave enough to tackle this one eventually

[@justsomebasslines]

i hope this helps when you get around to learning it!

[@pdbass]

🙌🏽👍🏽💯

[@justsomebasslines]

i loved your video on these, Paul! when i saw it, i already had this queued up, you beat me to the punch! 🤣

[@towahead]

wow

[@1978jazzbass]

Well man! What strings are that? And what gear? Love this bassline!

[@justsomebasslines]

the strings are La Bella 760FL Deep Talking Bass - the bass is a Harley Benton PB-20 SBK.

I joined your Patreon cannot find this tab?

[@justsomebasslines]

hey Russ, make sure you're on the Jamerson tier, it's in the Jamerson Tuesdays PDF archive. if you still can't find it, shoot me a message on Patreon and i'll point you in the right direction! :)

[@keithtaylor6802]

Jamerson did not play this version

[@justsomebasslines]

tell me more about who did then and where you got your info :)

[@claude6254]

This has Jamerson’s signature all over it. Chromatic runs, leaving lots of space, jumping lines…
