Jaco Pastorius Live in NY - The Chicken bass cover (in progress)

Heheh, nice one Ramono. Dunno whether you've heard it but check out the JP track I favourited on my channel - Teen Town live; it is freakin' men-tal. Been thinking of tackling it myself - but not that version, obviously.

Well done.

@TheWhippinpost Hey thanks mate! Yeah teentown is a really sick bassline, the studio version is doable I think, but still frikkin hard :) What about Marcus Miller verion of teentown, slapping all the way, totally insane! :)

Very smooth and solidly played Ramon. Never heard this one before, so thanks for putting it on here :)

@jonannlou Hey J, still need to practice the basswalks more, thats not my normal repertoire, but it does have the groove :)

Noticed now that there are a zillion bassvids with this song lol, I'm not being original :P

[jonannlou]

@ramon709 It is original mate, because you are doing it! Those walking bass can be tricky when you are used to following MK's slap riffs, but alot of people say that MK's fingerstyle is influenced by JP so its all going to help :)

Its difficult not to play to the tracks that don't have a groove, they just grab your attention more...

[ramon709]

@jonannlou Yeah I always had the notion that MK listened to Jaco, basslines like chineseway is very jaco'isch :)

I might do some more Jaco lines, it's actually quite fun to do play some different stuff for a change, I need to losen up my musical tunnel vision :)
