[atvbass10]

this sound so dang beautiful, puts me in a peaceful mood!

[Naxeez]

It's not even right..

[camster1212]

outstanding, love what your doing

[jacofan157]

yeah, in every section there's something wrong

[gleventhal]

Jeez, to all the people whining how it's wrong, it is not that far off! This guy is a great player! Show some respect!

[dudemega]

all wrong but all right hahaha xD

[TheGlass50]

Thanks so much...This helped me tremendously..

[honk1390]

this version is a little off. it sounds ok but there are parts that could be better. and it might just be me but it sounds like he's pulling the string out instead of lightly striking it which kinda kills some of the otherwise good sounds. good stuff still but it kinda ercs me for some reason

[ivangustavo1986]

its all wrong thats not the real version you suck!!!sos un muerto amargo!!!

[JWMussiicc]

Horribly inaccurate 

[picosta]

sorry...but is not right!

[carabata64]

lo sacaste como el orto forro

[skorpio2112]

if you don't like... why don't you upload your own version??

[snaykskin]

It's harmonics with continued sustained constructed in a melody. If you don't want to hear it, then close the window and look up something else. This is some great playing and any real bass player knows this isn't easy to pull off.

[GuiseppePipes]

i bet ur kidding

[hertzstein]

Jaco is so boring, I almost fell asleep, the technique is brilliant , there is no doubt about , but Jaco himself was SO BOOOORING ahh .zzzzz

[BassmrDK]

Don't buy this! Even I'm better at this - In fact he plays it soooo bad that I'm whiling to make a walkthrough for free!

[ThisKilledGirl]

How do you make the sound at 00:05 - 00:08 ?!?!

[CaptainSpok24]

@ThisKilledGirl its just a cascade harmonics

[hhohn]

It's not perfect, but a very good start to get the fingering down.

[Vaksel]

i can't get form B to 6 freet D# Harmonic!

How??

[clarkshapedbox]

@Vaksel STRETCHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

[hhohn]

@Vaksel There is an alternative. Hold the B with the left hand and thumb the harmonic (pluck with the right hand index finger) nearly over the top of the neck pickup on a std. Fender J Bass.

[jazzfunkbasskid]

nobody plays this on a fretless =(

[headlessLLAMA]

@jazzfunkbasskid  I do...

[BassmrDK]

@jazzfunkbasskid I wish I had one! They sound SOOOO sexy :D

[hhohn]

@jazzfunkbasskid This player does...and does it well: @uzzz

[YourOutdoorguide]

i wouldnt call this a lesson at all, its pretty much a bass cover.

[licklibrary]

@YourOutdoorguide Yeh your right this video isn't a lesson - its a performance from the DVD in which Phil gives you Bass Lessons on Jaco Pastorius. If you need more info on the DVD then you can follow the link to the product page within the description.

[thatguythatyouknow69]

@jacksonsinmichael i agree

[CharGuitarGirl]

i wish this was super slowed down i can only play to 0:18 seconds hahaa

[Praclik22]

Yes, probably it has some differences, but its beautiful. I love to listen to this. Lovely. From laic view, great piece.

[UberPiroxsFriend]

Not being rude but the middle section (starts at 1:23) is completely wrong. It is played in 11/8 and with both the octaves of harmonics. It also changes on the second time round where it hits the 7th fret harmonic on all three strings (A,D,G) and then to the 5th. Hope this helps.

[jovisha69]

@UberPiroxsFriend U ve got the point, nothing to do with the real thing

[crimsondrifter01]

@UberPiroxsFriend i agree, quite a lot of what's being played is completely wrong, even from the very beginning.

[VinnasBR]

@UberPiroxsFriend almost all L.L lessons are not dead-on recreations like they claim. Instead they are very good starting points

[gabrielkaspar]

the fretted notes in 1.24 are note giving the moviment feel that it has and there`s a harmonic missing over Ab in 1.55,you should take not just the harmonic in the 4th fret of the D string but in the 6th of G string as well

But it`s nice that such a incredible song has a lesson on the internet,that`s a start,I must say...

[MrBeob8er]

Sauber!

[philWilliams1]

yep it is in standard tuning.

[theScytheofGod]

Is this done in standard E tuning?

[jctownend]

Great playing and photography. As long as it's been since this song was originally done by Jaco, it still sounds totally futuristic.

[FallingGrey]

Beautiful piece of music! Very good demonstration :)
