Soul Basslines: Motown

Create Like the Legends

Learn to build soul basslines that lock into the groove by studying how the Motown legends created their lines and applying those ideas to your own playing.

In this 6-week small-group course, you’ll work with focused excerpts from James Jamerson and Bob Babbitt—analyzing how their lines support the song, outline harmony, and drive the feel. Each concept is immediately applied through a structured practice system, so you’re not just learning lines—you’re learning how to create them.

Built around classic Motown grooves, this course focuses on time, feel, and musical movement within a consistent style. You’ll develop the ability to create basslines that feel grounded, connected, and stylistically authentic.
