Watching the clip is great 'cos you can see that he rakes a lot and so must be getting very busy with his left hand on those arpeggios.
I'm just glad he never figured out you can use more than one finger on the right hand - it's already too hard to play with him using only one!!

|  | Registered User | | | | | First time I´ve had the chance to see him playing.
That index finger is amazing. I´ve always admired his fluidity, taste and sense of rythm.
Thanks for sharing.

Watching that video is almost mesmorizing to me, as is listening to the whole "What's Goin' On" CD. What an amazing musician he was - truly moving music. Jamerson's playing was a huge component in the emotion which bled from his recordings.
May James and Marvin rest in peace. What great music they gave us.

What you see it the only footage with Jamerson, but on the DVD is nice and clear and sound is awesome. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
