America - Jaco Pastorius

[Bassplayer1204]

@Popex85 Your 100% right, but as i wrote a couple times before now i didn´t want to play like jaco, i want to do his music in my own way.

[teoractrica797]

@Bassplayer1204 exactly, everione must (and do) have his own sound, thats the beauty of the music. keep on playing

[jeffkerestes]

Nice work! You got it note for note!

[Bassplayer1204]

@jeffkerestes Thx Jeff. Probably youre the first commenter herewho got it right that i wanted not to copy Jaco, but do his music in my own music language! Thx!

[JFruscianteGod2]

i like the attempt at jaco stuff here but jaco never used anything other than a 4 string so this would not be how he would have played it

[Bassplayer1204]

@JFruscianteGod2 Thx! I know that jaco would have used a four string, but i play 6-String and thats MY way to play it. i dondt want to imitate Jaco, i want to interpret his music in my own musical language! I am not covering bass lines at all, listen to my stuff in my cover songs folder and you will see that i do not one single song note by note how the original was played. I always try to bring my own touch and feel into the music i do and thats what its all about! Greets to all!

[tyke58]

Well done.

[Bassplayer1204]

@tyke58 Thx tyke

[danntjoh]

dude i like your bass. probaply all your money is in that piece of art ;D

[Bassplayer1204]

@danntjoh Oh thx, but its not that bad with payment for this hot bass. its my own signature model so of course its endorsed too and i had to pay not so much for it...thankfully :-)

[Bassplayer1204]

@PolicarpioNicko thx

[bmaxd]

Ignore the haters. Nice playing.

[Bassplayer1204]

@bmaxd Hey thx man, but don´t worry it doesn´t bother me at all, it´s like wit all my Videos here, i do the Songs and everything MY Way, and of course are there people who do not like it my way. And if there is some right critic i´m am thankful for it. And i don´t care about the guys who think everything must sound exactly the same then the original! Most of these people losse their personality when they do music and that´s the reason they don´t make money out of it, what i can! :-)

[Bassplayer1204]

Hey uys! I didnt do this to make it big battle between me and Jaco! It is MY way to do it and should not be compared to Jacos way to play it!

I´ve played it like i feel it. I know that i will never ply like Jaco and the main thing is i don´t want to play like Jaco. I am me and Jaco was Jaco, so respect my work as i do Jacos. I hope that i get this clear now. Sorry i´m not that god in English but i hope everybody got what i wanted to say.

Peace

I'm a bass player and was friends with Jaco see the comments on walkerjay57's video, I'm not going to post them again. But I agree no feeling the timing is bad, how many strings do you need a dozen Jaco used 4.

[gilbert20]

@VictorAWineGuy Sorry, but I must agree with you. I have no idea why this guy wants to embarrass himself here......the playing is so inferior. I just don't understand.
