But Marcus Miller didn't write Teen Town. ;) Just remember bassplaying isn't a competition. You have your own favorites, others have different ones. Just enjoy it.

What Jaco knew in terms of harmonics and the fretboard makes him truly incredible, he knew the bass BETTER than the back of his hand.

Its all subjective tho, I find slap playing nasty, it just sounds ugly and gratuitous IMO.

Jaco is far from my favorite bass player, but you cannot deny his awesome tallent, same with Miller, Wooten & Clarke.

My favorite bass players are John Paul Jones and James Jamerson. . .

In the words of James Jamerson:

"If you don't feel it, don't play it"

Does anyone know how long before he died this video was made?

Cheers

I love jaco but I wouldn't call him a rock star. That's insulting he's skill lol

So many bullshit rock musicians. From the 60s and 70s. Caring more about making political statements and impressing stupid hippie psychies than music. Every "great" rock musician always throws these lazy excuses, saying music theory will narrow your creativity. Bullshit. Jaco Pastorious is proof that not only is the above statement, made by lazy, attention whorish "rock stars" is bullshit, but down to earth, real music theory can broaden your creativity in so many different ways.

Damn... I wish he had lived long enough to record giant steps....

I think jaco didn't do so well on the jamming part IMO :)

Yeh, Jaco often gives an intelligent answer to a stupid question.

You can see him frown as he tries to make something of the inarticulate crap he just heard. His efforts were worth it, as this interview is the single best bass guitar lesson anyone could find.

Jaco's face at 7:10 reminds me of Sheldon (The big bang theory)! I almost hear a voice from his head saying "Well, yes indeed. What can I do? I am an evolved superior musician beyond human understanding"

[Longcatcrusade]
