Weather Report - Teen Town Bass Cover

This is my attempt on one of my very favourites songs of Weather Report. It's twice on the vid, so 2x more 'fun'... :P

The audio comes from the "Unreleased Lives" album.

btw, i didn't want to improvise on a song of weather report,i prefer screwing up other songs :P lol.

Absolutely flawless. I'm working on this song as of now, I'll upload a vid once I'm done. I'm actually auditioning for musical college with this song in march. And again, greatest cover I've seen of this song so far!

@Skyless0rebirth thanks! Great choice for an audition... do you plan on improvising on it using a playback or playing it with a band? Let me know when it'll be online! :)

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I did a full band cover of this at my school's coffeehouse a while ago. The link can be found by searching 'Jamie Thompson Teen Town' if you are interested.

@jamietrhcp17 Nice one dude! Great tone and playing, all of you ;)

[crazysean1218]

killed it. this is such a ridiculous bass line, most guitarists would struggle to play it, (cleanly at least).

@crazysean1218

Thanks a lot :) I think this song turned me mad when i began bass... don't know how much time i've spent trying to listen / understand/ play what Jaco & Weather Report did...

Btw, if you like marcus miller & stuff, i'll soon upload a cover of S.M.V's "Thunder"..

Thanks for watching my videos: )

I hate you

[Breakbeatz2591980]

Very impressive. The closest, if not exact Jaco growl. He would be proud for sure. Kudos.

[Skyless0rebirth]

@Alex156 I'll be using a playback, and I will play the original bass line to it, no impro. I need to play one one song wich includes Theme/walk/impro sections ( Wich will be Billie's bounce ) And I chose Teen Town as a second piece, to be a bit more ''demonstrative'' if you know what I mean!

[jamietrhcp17]

@Alex156 Thanks, I love your version too. It has a really nice Jaco feel to it, and sooo clean.
