5/28/2022
In today’s lesson you’ll learn how to improve your chops AND your groove from a bass player who has both!
But first, a little history lesson: Jaco’s rendition of Donna Lee HAS to be the coolest start to a debut album in the history of recorded music. As conga player Don Alias said, ”every bass player I know can cut Donna Lee thanks to Jaco.”
In today’s video, you’ll see Danny Mo Morris (Berklee College of Music) break down the tune so you can start playing it at your own pace. This video is a tiny excerpt from Danny Mo’s SBL course: ‘A Bassist’s Guide to the Rhythm Section.’
Exploring Donna Lee is a HUGE milestone if you play bass. Check it out in today’s video!
