PASS IT ON: Jaco Pastorius: The Greatest Jazz-fusion Bass Player

[Dubs]

Some heavy stuff this…it’s a book of transcribed Jaco lines of songs he played with Weather Report. It goes well over the top of my head and I don’t have the patience to properly get to grips with it. It’s all tabbed out as well for those like me who are non-competent readers. I got this book free a few years ago when I subscribed to Bass Guitar mag and I’ve hardly used it so it’s completely mint and completely going to waste on me. It’s not particularly worth a lot so I’d like to start a circulation of this book much in the same vein as elom did with “Guy Pratt – My Bass and Other Animals” if there is enough interest in it?

Here’s a link to the same book - [url="http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/025716/details.html"]http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/025716/details.html[/url]

I’d say it’s a steep learning curve for complete non-readers but there is tab to give you an idea of what’s going on so it’s a good learning tool. It doesn’t come with a CD though so you’ll have to acquire the Weather Report tracks by other means.

The same rules that applied to elom’s book would apply to this;

[b]“First up, this is not your book. It's a communal book now. Once you've read it you must post it back on this thread to be passed on to the next person who wants it. Oh and if you've not read it inside a month then pass it on anyway slowcoach.”[/b]

Hope this sparks a bit of interest and can be useful to the community. I would be interested to look at a tabbed Jamiroquai book if anyone want's to lend me out one for a couple of weeks? :brow:

Show your interest on the thread....

I've not got round to listing it yet so I'll give it another week and if there's sufficient interest (looking doubtful) then I'll release it into the realm of BC...going to mr.sibs first.

Count me in after Mr Sibs if it isn't sold. Great idea.
