Pastorius Etude - Come on, come over

[wysiwyg248]

Magnifique!!!!

[GaryNull]

Just dont' like this song, . .. can't see the hype over it.

[wysiwyg248]

@GaryNull

Yeah, just listen to Justin Bieber.

[GaryNull]

@wysiwyg248 no thank you, Jeff Berlin for me

[manuelarendain]

great tone. may i ask how do you come up with this sound?

[fretlessbass26]

props dude. good job

[TheSupnickmon]

u are out of tune and it is killing my ears. good playing though

[rexasul]

@TheSupnickmon are you deaf? his intonation is spot on.

[TheSupnickmon]

@rexasul first of all intonation is not the same as being in tune. and second if u think this is in tune u clearly don't have much musical experience

[rexasul]

@TheSupnickmon Alright, so I'll go adjust his bridge and fuck with the intonation and you can say that again. My musical experience is only just developing, but seeing as I don't have perfect pitch and there's no harmony, it sounds just fine to me. Don't be such a ridiculous cunt.

[TheSupnickmon]

@rexasul woah, calm down man. im complimenting him and giving a bit of constructive criticism. u don't have to freak out

[ThePeace0815]

and what about the intro XD ;)

[Pastorius16]

Hello! How you do it how Jaco sound is for the guitar? Very good his sound and you do it very well! :)

[kafcin]

邪魔だから消せ

[adojferz]

man you're slightly detuned, careful with that

[fleamanATW]

GREAT tone

is that MIM? what kind of pick ups are those?

[billfulton]

Sounds great!

Isn't the low note in the"A" section an Eb instead of a E natural?

[sayjunglelove]

dude perfect!

[kebaosan185680]

[Bmadink]

[elkrakem]

buen sonido de ese bajo amigo perfecta interpretacion

[Lizherireth]

good job ^^ well done

[SalvationHasCome]

Good finger job, but the bass is out of tone or you don't hit the notes right :/

[Steviec63]

The intonation sounds pretty damn good to me! Lovely dampened notes as well. You've really got the feel for this one.

[plinki75]

your a very good player, but not on fretless, often out of tone.

Sorry

[fdask2007]

Thanks for the slowed down segment at the end! Learning that bit of the song is a bit tricky.

[JulioBassMusic]

perfect

[bassplayer78963]

Do you really have to use the 3 finger technique to play this song? At first I thought it wasn't necessary, but then I saw MarloweDK (btw, MDK kicks ass!) play the song using three fingers, which got me confused... Sorry if it's a stupid question...

[mev1010]

If you're talking about your right hand: You don't have to, but it's more comfortable if you can. You can technically use one finger if that one finger is fast enough.

[SalvationHasCome]

My bass teacher is really good and by saying that I mean insane. He has got an academic education and had a lot of lessons from bass celebrities. His fav. bassist is Jaco and he plays ALL his songs with 2 finger only and that is ALL Jaco's songs - so not necessary :)

"Is that guy trying to show off?" - no, I'm just making my point clear cause my teacher would know if you had to use 3 fingers :p Using 3 fingers when you have to play fast is not a good habit, you can do it with 2 easily aswell.

[SalvationHasCome]

Use 3 fingers in Heavy Metal xD

[IcMe2]

WTF!!!!! fuck u are a loser why did u compare jaco (jazz) with heavy metal??????

[SalvationHasCome]

I didn't compare Jaco himself, i compared the 2 finger and and the 3 finger technique. The 3 finger technique is good but never say "I can't play this part because I can't do the 3 finger technique" because the 3 fingers technique is a support not a must.

[BrFunkyBass]

you play with as many finger as you want,

it really doesn't matter.

otherwise guys like Geddy Lee or  Bernards Edwards would not be good bass players (according to you teacher's theory)

this video is cool congrats to the player

[edthehead83]

Agree. I play with one, two, or three. It's all about being able to do it all.

[SalvationHasCome]

You can do 2 fingers at all songs almost, you will have problems at Heavy and Death Metal - but you should use your 3rd finger for muting if you want to use it. I mute my strings very well, but I don't really know how I do it :p But the 3rd finger is not neccessary for playing fast. That is my opinion :)

[BrFunkyBass]

well, to be honest

I like to think that there're no rights and wrongs

on that matter, as long as the player sounds good...

it's ok for me if the play with his nails, thumb ,

pink finger :) :)

may I suggest you a video?

Watch John Entwistle's Bass Guitar Master Class.

Keep playing :) :)

Peace

[SalvationHasCome]

True true, there is no right and wrong way to play AS LONG AS IT WORKS :)

And you can do the same thing with 2 fingers instead of 3 and use the third finger to something else so you have an extra finger to help :)

[th1nk21]

Jaco used 3 fingers quite often. I'm not sure where you learned playing with 3 fingers is a bad habit.

[IcMe2]

in what hand??

[taufoofar]

@SalvationHasCome You're teacher may have an academic education and lessons from bass celebrities, but Geddy Lee, Les Claypool and Steve Bailey ARE bass celebrities. Playing with 3 fingers is not wrong, if it works for you. Just cos you can't do it with 2 fingers and you need an extra finger to help you doesn't make it a bad habit.

[GreendayversusU2]

@taufoofar Its harder for me personally to use three fingers lol XD

[chrysbadz]

sounds lyk jaco playing the bass.. !

kip up d gud work men!

[thepurplebottIe]

great job. your sound is clean and you have great timing. any tips for practicing it? i'm having a bit of trouble..

[faso85]

se intoni il basso è meglio!

[ssit72]

tempo is perfect

[FarottoOnBass]

Il basso andrebbe accordato...xD

[vanderholt2]

its a squire :(

[karakanas37]

5/5 ..i cant understand how can somebody say that this is out of tune :S:S:S:s

[billbop007]

INTONATION

[hellothisismeth]

Maybe its just the drums but this sounds a bit mechanical.

[rastablader]

Amazing so clean sounds perfect! A++! you kempt in time with perfect timing!

[romainlabaye]

AAAAAAAHAHHH wrong notesss!!!

[politico222]

vale la pena verlo

[arnbassbaritone]

sounds out tune

[ziajek00]

tottaly out - who votes down? ;/

[fleaargento]

maybe cause its a fretless

[lukewarlow]

you had the wrong beat playing to it. it makes it sound corny. but man, phat bassing man. sweet sound

[Unicesf]

C'est bon!

Quand je l'a joue ça sonne vraiment different, mes cordes sont très vieilles puis il frotte sur mon manche, surment que mon "bridge" est trop bas.

[francky85]

ça ce joue sur une fretté c'est mieux je trouve.

Jaco l'avait enregistré sur sa jazz bass fretté 1960. un voisin vendéen.......

[LeSebu]

t'es sûr de cette info?

[francky85]

j'ai lu ça dans une interview en anglais de Jaco, il a joué "come on come over" et "portrait of tracy" avec la fretté sur son premier album. de plus je trouve qu'avec la fretté c'est plus facile.

[LeSebu]

Woua, merci pour l'info, c'est cool!!

Ceci dit en live il y a une vid où il joue portrait of tracy sur fretless, ça sonne aussi!!

[vickers89]

nice technique. nice sound :D

[mclmlc]

!!!!!!!!! great!

[stafu83000]

Oh yes! the right touch and the right sound. That bass line is groovy as hell... Jaco would be proud.

[KicknStep]

your ghost noting sounds incredible.. great work brother.

[AuganBoour]

very good man

[otago36]

Super LeSebu ;)

[madtemple1]

Real clean ad smooth i've been trying to figure out the chorus of this song by ear but since theres so much going on its real hard

[BassAgent]

Your intonation is a little off in the chorus, but you play cool and relaxed!

[ErlendG]

This is good playing! But your intonation is a bit off.

Really, i shouldn't complain... my intonation isn't better at all :)

[himvalo721]

nice and smooth technique. like it. especially the slow down/training thing at the end.

[Magikflea]

Nan, j'ai changé de pseudo entre Poppyto et Slappyto parceque sur le premier, avec le pseudo Magikflea, je m'étais fait lincher à cause de mon addiction un peu idiote à Flea. Finalement ils ont eu raison de me secouer, ça m'a fait ouvrir les yexu sur d'autres bassistes et varier mes influences et donc mon jeu... Désormais, je suis Hikeki Tanaka ^^

[Magikflea]

Lol ouais je suis bien français, même de Slappyto (c'ets là ou j'ai découvert ton travail), mais j'ai posté en anglais de façon à ce que les anglosaxons, qui font la majorité sur ce site, puissent se joindre à moi ^^

[LeSebu]

lol, j'avais pas pigé!! Merci pour les encouragements en tout cas et rendez-vous sur slappyto si tu as le même pseudo je ferai gaffe!!

[Magikflea]

Wow! I don't know this song, nevertheless, there's one thing I can say : you rule! You own the groove dude!

[LeSebu]

merci pour les compliments, je crois que tu vis en France non, ça m'arrange pour te répondre correctement!! @+

[Grinlathak]

I agree, he locked the groove down nice and tight. PLus he got the tone just right. Last video I saw of someone playing this song he had his sound much too "crisp".
