Polyrhythmic Approach
One-Note Approach
Chromatic Approach
Open-String Approach
Answer
The chromatic approach characterized Jamerson's distinctive bass style. Instead of outlining chords with standard root notes, scales, and arpeggios, Jamerson incorporated chromatic notes, creating a fluid, melodic bassline that interwoven with the other instruments, adding depth and complexity to the music. This technique is often referred to as the "Jamerson lick."
