Come On Come Over -Jaco Pastorius - Solo Bass Tutorial (Isolated Live) with Tablature and Notation

Jaco Pastorius was one of the most articulate and funky bass players ever. In order to get a similar tone, play this tune with your plucking hand over the bridge pick up. Set your tone control to closed and mostly turn off your neck pickup. Here I will play an excerpt from the tune at tempo (110 bpm) and then I will slow it down (80 bpm). Notice how I switch between the three fret stretch 1-2-4 “octave” fingering and the four fret stretch 1-2-3-4 fingering. The three fret fingering helps me maintain a full and punchy funk tone at speed whenever possible. As usual, I recommend that you start slow. Take your time. This video was done in one live take.
