: Great call, Jipes. If it's Stax/Volt Memphis Soul, R&B, start by studying Cropper and go back or forward from there.Originally Posted by Jipes
Motown's a little trickier, though. The interplay of the Funk Brothers' 3-man 'Oreo Cookie' guitar section (Robert White, Joe Messina and Eddie Willis) takes a bit of dissecting. A good place to start to get a grip on how their 3 approaches meshed is to rent, buy or otherwise acquire the DVD Movie, Standing In the Shadows of Motown. They talk and demonstrate how they developed what they'd do, the licks they came up with (as do the rest of the players). And there's a whole bunch of live concert performances.

It's a marvelous movie, anyway. You might end up watching it several times.
For bass, then there's a book/cd set by the same title that's all about James Jamerson. Another must-have to grasp this genre.

As you'd learn from the movie, the guys who played all the great 60's Motown tracks testify: the sound all started with Jamerson's bass. Everbody else played from there.

Absolutely right very intricate playing of the Funk Brothers thr movie is great it's too bad that they didn't include the whole concert in the DVD (at least not in the one I bought)Originally Posted by wingsdad
As you mentionned as well James Jamerson is The SOUL himself never heard such an amzing bass player they used to be a goofd method on the Arlen Roth Hot Licks series K7 tape but that's ages ago I don't know if you can still find it on CD

I've got the 2-DVD version, and the 2nd disc has a few more of the tunes from the concert. There's some sort of link to go online and get more, I think, but I never tired it, so I dunno. Bob Babbitt, Jamerson's succesor, does a great job with Igor's lines.
