"Come On Come Over" Jaco Pastorius Bassline

[nithinthomas91]

Hey... Really nice video man... A few noob questions if you don't mind. :) I'd like to know if you're using two or three finger picking for this song. I'd also like to know your opinion on 2/3 finger picking styles. And, Is it true that 3 finger picking is just for more speed? Thanks and Keep up the great work... :D

[BassLessonsNow]

@nithinthomas91 Thanks very much for the comment...I use 2 fingers in my plucking hand: the index and middle. I've never used 3. As far as speed, any bass players that I've ever admired for their technique have used only 2 fingers....some even just 1 finger. If you listen to Jaco Pastorius, who played with 2 fingers, it seems speed was never a problem for him...:)

As far as playing faster than Jaco...I can't imagine why you'd ever need to...

[Annonymus121]

Is that a wal bass? It's gorgeous.

[wysiwyg248]

Really.... jawdropping technique. Jaco would be proud men, congrats

[Moiez101]

what a beast....flawless technique and a beautiful tone. holy shit.

[Dojotortoise]

What strings do you use? I have fretless and am still searching for good strings for it. Thanks, and inspiring video by the way.

[BassLessonsNow]

@Dojotortoise They were probably DR's or D'Addarios...definitely roundwounds.

@Dojotortoise I use GHS " Pressurewounds " on my Wal Customs :)

[maty7976321]

Great version!, I think hard to play on a fretless bass!

the second part of the chores (1:01) how and when do you ghost the notes there?

@maty7976321 It would be difficult to explain here; should I do a video lesson for it slowed down?

[IpH0n3BIACH]

@BassLessonsNow YES, PLEASE.

@BassLessonsNow

[Rorybaxter10]

what bass is that

[Gr8testMuzic]

@Rorybaxter10 It's a fretless bass.

[maliester]

@Gr8testMuzic Accurate reply there. Unfortunately, it's probably a make and model he was after. The lack of frets was a give away on the fretless bit.

[belial1237]

@maliester it's most likely a Wal fretless, judging by the pick up style and the body style, but i could be wrong.

[mookie2637]

@belial1237 Yes, it's a Wal fretless 5. (I think I wet myself a bit when I saw it). Nice playing - great intonation.

Very easy to play, yet sooo funky and delicious

Well done !
