I have plenty of respect for Jaco, but this is a sad, sad instructional video. It has a few good nugents, and this ain't one of them.

[muzio78]

@swwaddell This instructional video is for "Advanced" musicians.

[swwaddell]

@muzio78 Which makes the 80 percent of it that sucks suck less how exactly?

[johnny2468ification]

@swwaddell What exactly is bad about it? I found most of it interesting.

[ANKTSUNAMUNH]

@langerzoriginal Naahh, he just turns his thumb 180° around the axis before bending it, like all alien bass players do! LOL

[Barathrun]

does this song have a name?

[swwaddell]

Oh Lawd, not that damn Amerika random burblings of crap thing again.

[TAbassndrums23]

@swwaddell have some respect please!!!!

[circlejosh]

recording in a studio with a small audience so you get both elements-smart and respectful polite bass genius

[freakinfunk]

Gosh...I feel seriously blue as a musician when seeing jaco

playing with a smile on his face...

R.I.P JACO!!!

[aakkoin]

jaco would have been better joker than ledger...

[Luckyhat66]

How come every video I watch there has to be a group of people absolutely convinced that the people or person in the video "is tripping". It seems to me like they're being themselves.

[Josephdorf03]

What song is he playing on the piano at the end? It's so familiar!

[henniebogan1]

liberty city

[braindoodle89]

<3 Libery city, at the end.

just wonderful.

he was almost a better composer than a bass player.

[yyzedder]

hmm, poor fella, great musician. It's a shame that his friends and family didn't do more to help him with his condition. It must be hard to recognize bipolar as a serious problem, especially if ur into the sauce as well. he sorta became an outcast cause of it. damn shame.

[davidjholt68]

his family did try to help him and his friends, but he pushed them away  very sad story.

Love Jaco's take on "If I only had a brain" at the 2:00 mark!

[dwnhllr1959]

"these guys are high" - gawd, that's too funny. Jaco was basically a street person when they recorded this series...they did it mostly to help him get some cash and get back on his feet. For the record...he was bipolar...and a drunk....didn't do much of any 'drugs'. Jerry and Ken are just goofin' along with Jaco.

Yes...he played a fretted bass in this series a bunch - there are some clips where he plays a fretless too.

[thetornado]

"didn't do much of any drugs"

Um yeah, Jaco snorted cocaine, like it was going out of style. When they made this video, they had to lock him in a hotel suite (with the mini-bar removed)for a few days, to make sure he couldn't get any blow. One of the most unfortunate circumstances of his later life, was that it became like a "thing to do" for live music fans in NYC, to get some coke and find Jaco, so he would hang out with you all night.

[barret707]

Jaco on a fretted?

[cciemail]

yeah, for most of the instruction video he plays that bass, which is a Jazz Bass with a Precision neck.

[davidjholt68]

that bass belongs to jeff andrews jaco borrowed it because his was stolen

[cciemail]

where did you hear that?

[davidjholt68]

I am friends with one of jacos` old friends they lived together, also i am in touch with jacos` ex wife Ingrid she gave me this info she is a lovely person.

[Josephdorf03]

huh, I thought the neck looked a little big and wide to be a J.

[pisapisuelat]

aguante jacko

[retardno002]

Yeah they trippin but they good!!!! Damn good!

[tasmaniaaaa]

how can you be so sure they are tripping or in drugs?

[guitarstudent101]

[zamba00mamba]
