My fingers hurt really bad. Don't try this one without consulting a physician.

just heard about Jaco Pastorious for the first time today. Thanks for keeping his memory alive.

Man, those harmonics must have been hell to learn. This sounds extremely good though. Thanks for reminding me of Jaco's endless imagination

[@TomQuillMusic]

Thanks for watching!

Nice work getting those harmonics that clear out of a p bass. I like the idea of getting that artificial harmonic using the right hand rather than the big stretch - jaco used it all the time so I’m guessing he didn’t use it here partly because he didn’t need to with those monster hands 😅

[@TomQuillMusic]

I'm plucking with my right ring finger while the right index frets the harmonic. A classical guitar technique I thought applicable here. The stretch looks uncomfortable. Thanks for watching!

Lol, i was wondering about your fingers after all that practice and then I saw the description

[@TomQuillMusic]

I've got callouses of steel now. Now to keep them... gotta keep practicing!

[@SeanFerree]
