I started Jamerson Analysed back in 2012 when I was studying at the
Bristol Institute of Modern Music as a way of recording my work on the
playing of James Jamerson. I wanted to understand the lines, as well as
learn how to play them, and set about breaking down some of his
basslines. By looking at his rhythmic and melodic decisions, I gained a
far deeper understanding of his approach to the songs, and after a few
cover videos and analysis' I decided to start sharing the blog around on
various forums.
Since then the site has has thousands
of visitors from all over the world, and has become a good resource for
those wanting to understand Jamerson's playing.
Fast
forward a few years and I now teach at BIMM Bristol, where I often have
students turn to the blog as they start to explore Jamerson's playing
for the first time. It is because of this that I have given the site an
overhaul, and will be posting new content on a more regular basis.
To
help with the work, I am inviting guest contributors to submit their
own analysis' of Jamerson's playing. Please get in touch if you would
like to get involved.
Anyway, enjoy the site.
Thanks,
Chris Axe.
