What Makes Motown Bass Motown?

Why does everyone love this music so much?

Everybody digs the neat little riffs, the deep grooves, the "feel good" feeling when the bass player is working his Motown bass line. The songs are so bass driven. You can often identify the song just by hearing the bass line. The music makes you dance!

What Makes Motown Bass Motown? will clearly teach you how to create and play bass lines in the style of James Jamerson and the other great players of this era. Through analysis of pitch sets and rhythmic cells we will discover the answer to the question in the title of this book.
