Hi, on sunday I will record this bass line but I am not very confortable with the line i play by now...quarter notes with thirds-fifhts and fourts
The drums pattern is
1and2and3and4 with the bass drum in the 1, second and, third and.... the snare in the 2- and 4
the tempo is at 206

The basic chords are E-Csharp-Fsharp-B

Please give me some advice to play it jamerson style !!help me specially with the rithm of the passages between each chord
thanks- sorry about my english

Slow it down to 120 or 130 and make it a soul song.

But seriously, don't try to force a completely opposing style onto a type of music that doesn't accept it. It's called "playing for the song." And this song, by the way you're describing it, sounds like if you Jamerson it up, you're going to ruin it.

I copped it at some passages between the chords with some 8 notes (like from E to C sharp, y play E-B-E-D SHARP D) but leaving space before the arrangement and it sounded great
