Book Reviews of Standing in the Shadows of Motown: The Life and Music of Legendary Bassist James Jamerson
Book Review: The one must have book for ALL bass guitarists
Summary: 5 Stars
There's loads of reviews here that tell you in great detail what's in the book, or that the transcriptions don't have tab, that there's a biography of Jamerson's life included in the book, etc, etc.
So I won't look at any of that.
If you're a bass player - whatever music you love to play, whatever level you're at - this is the ONE book that you MUST own. Own it, study it, learn from it. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
If you can take a fraction of the heart James Jamerson poured into his music and his earth shaking groove and apply it to your own music - you'll always be in demand and making music will always be a privilege.
This book's got lessons in just about everything contained within its pages - in music as well as life. Read it. Learn it. Live it.
