Portrait of Tracy:Jaco Pastorius

Here is my cover of Jaco Portrait of Tracy.I have few mistake in it.It is one of the hardiest song to play for me.Due to the fact I have short fingers...There is a lot of large stretch to do in this song.Lot of harmonics.It's not perfect,but I'm really proud of it...It's my tribute to The Greatest Bass Player.I play it a bit slowlier than normal,but I tried to respect the feeling of it.Comments are really welcome! Thks

Hi Javic! Thanks a lot for your support...it really made my day :) Thanks I'll keep practicing Portrait of Tracy it's a beautiful tune everybody in the world should know it (not only bass players) Thanks a lot for your advices.

You did a really good job with this one. I tried to play it with the correct right hand position like yours but I just can't have a good sound using my thumb too...Anyway keep it up and keep playinh good music! :)

Thks to you ! about that thumb technique,it comes from my learning lessons of classical guitar...it serves me well now on the bass.

Great job man. As always, work on your timing, but I daresay you got some harmonics better than I did. :)

Hey, If you having trouble with the Db harmonic then just put your finger on the B and hit the harmonic with your thumb on the 18th fret
