Hey guys! A video of me shedding on Jonathan Nelson's "I Agree", great mix of gospel and carribean music! I dicovered, learned and recorded the whole thing in 2 hours, therefore it's not perfect :) Comments welcome!

Hi folks! I have an instagram account where i post short videos, i usually pick a tune in the morning, transcribe and shed it for an hour and post it before noon. Needless to say it's far from flawless, but it forces me to practice more :) Critiques welcome! :)

I'll second Jamareo Artis,Raphaël Saadiq, Pino Palladino and Micheal League. A bit older, but incredibly close to Jamerson is Willie Weeks. Check him out playing on Donny Hathaway's Little Ghetto Boy, it will blow your mind ;)

For me it would probably be: Jaco Pastorius Ray Brown Nate Phillips James Jamerson

In most cases, i prefer to play 5th frets, because the sound is indeed warmer, but if you start studying jazz, you will see/hear upright players often using open strings in their walking basses, comping, or even in their solos. For them it's much easier to stay in tune if they use open strings...
