James Jamerson Bass Lines to Know

Introduction:

James Jamerson was one of the most influential bass players of all time - a session musician whose bass lines can be heard on most of the Motown hits in the 1960's and early 1970's. In fact, his bass playing is considered an integral part to the Motown sound.

Jamerson played with a small, close-knit group of musicians known as "The Funk Brothers," who played most of the Motown hits without much recognition.

One interesting fact about Jamerson's playing style is how he carried over the one finger plucking method from upright over to the electric bass. Jamerson's index finger was later known as "The Hook," and it remains a mystery how he was able to execute some of his lines playing this way.
