Jamerson "I Can't Get Next To You"

[Bass301]

Does anyone know where I can get a transcript of James Jamerson's bassline on The Temptations song "I Can't Get Next To You" ?

This song does not seem to be transcribed in any of the Jamerson, Motown, or R&B bass books.

Never letting mine go, ever! Call BP for a reprint.

Just got my copy off Fleabay - one of the few issues I didn't have!
Worth its weight in gold not just for the transcription, but for bassist Ray Brown (electric bassplayer, not the jazz upright dude) and his list of 10 'rarer' Jamerson bass lines - there's some gold in there.

I know this thread is really old, but I just made a transcription for it. I needed to have this piece down for a gig, but I couldn't find the transcription for it anywhere, so I just made my own. Enjoy!

Great work man. It always amazes me how generous TBers are. Thanks

This is very true, but would it have been that much trouble for the guy with the BP mag to scan the transcription and post it for a brother?

hahaha, that would have saved me some time transcribing!

I would have done it if you asked. I've done this plenty of times for others. He also asked me to sell it, which was a non starter.

I can have it scanned and sent tomorrow. Please PM me your e mail address.
