Jamerson Sight Reading Etude 9

May 11, 2023 by Paul Wolfe

On this page is the video, pdf and practice tracks for the James Jamerson Style Sight Reading Etude 9.

This etude is a 120 BPM uptempo 8th note style line and the line was generated using a combination of four of the Jamerson BIAB styles that I’ve created (see note at the bottom of the post).

Also I played this one with both a band style practice track and a track with a harmonic metronome – a muted guitar chord sounding on betas 2 and 4 of the bar – making me responsible for beats 1 and 3! Here’s the video of the 2 and 4 play through:

 

And here’s the video of the etude with the band style:

 

To download the Zipped File that contains the PDF and the 120 BPM Band Style practice track  and the 120 BPM Harmonic Metronome style practice track from my WeTransfer.com account, click this link:

The Band In A Box styles used to create this bass line is part of a pack of styles that will be available for separate purchase (approx $30) or will be free with the online bonus version of the book.
