5 Greatest Jaco Pastorius Bass Lines of All Time
5/9/2020
Can you remember the first time you heard the monumental bass chops of Jaco Pastorius?
In today’s video I’m going to walk you through FIVE of Jaco’s most epic grooves, solos and licks, including the most monstrous bass lick I’ve ever heard in any tune ever written! Seriously, they say that Jaco is the greatest bassist that ever lived - these five moments prove it..
In this video you’ll be learning:
- For sheer technical brilliance, the melody line of Teen Town.
- Come On Come Over with its incredible display of machine gun 16th notes!
- Jaco’s legendary endurance in the tireless staccato of Kuru/Speak Like A Child.
- His mastery of improvised soloing on Ian Hunter’s All American Alien Boy.
- And finally, Jaco’s bass fill on Havona - you’re left thinking “how does he do it?” and, more importantly, “How can I do that?”
As always, see you in the shed…
