Jazz is a uniquely American art form, musically grown out of blues and soul. Any versatile bassist needs to have a functioning knowledge of basic jazz form and styles. In this Jazz Bass Grooves edition of Essentials, Stu Hamm guides you through 10 jazz bass performance studies in a versatile range of styles, tempos, and keys.

”I’ll show you how to play bass lines over 10 commonly used jazz styles to give you a basic understanding of some of the many different forms and styles that make up the great American jazz songbook. We’ll work on two-beats, walking jazz bass lines, bebop, rhythm changes, and even a few Latin jazz grooves.

As we work through each of the 10 performance studies, I’ll show you different strategies for fingerings, and when and where to play fills to create a melodic bass line. I’ll first perform the bass line over a backing track, and then I’ll break it down slowly for you, measure by measure. By the end of this course, you should be fluent in these diverse musical styles and have the tools that you will need to continue your journey as a jazz bass player. Grab your bass and let’s get started!”
