The Greatest Christmas Bass Line Ever!! (tabs and tutorial)

Details

Description

What’s the coolest bass line ever played for a Christmas song?
Well, I don’t know about the best, but I definitely know my favourite! It’s the Motown classic Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by the Jackson 5 with that amazing James Jamerson style line played by the legendary Wilton Felder.
This is a perfect example of how to weave a simple but melodic bass line through some chord changes with that typical Motown syncopated bounce.
In this lesson I’ll break down a few essential lines from the tune and show you how they can influence your own lines in any style.
