  • In this lesson I’ve got a VERY special guest with me.
    The one and only, Felix Pastorius.
    Yep… I’m guessing you’ve at least heard of that surname before ;)
    In this lesson Felix is going to teach you:
    - How he approached learning he fretboard in a really deep and methodical way
    - Why he uses symmetry in order to organise his fretboard
    - Why he uses 3 note per string scale groupings
    - How to NOT make the number one soloing mistake most bass players make
    - And way more juicy bass shenanigans…
    If you’re ready to start levelling up your bass playing, you know what to do! ;)
    As always, see you in the shed…
    Scott :)

    Glad he uses a six. No one better use that "jaco only needed four" line anymore

    "Just do the work" best advice ever

    I think the reason behind so many bass players gravitate toward the root when launching into a solo, is that after we've been supporting everyone else all night, and suddenly when it's our turn everything else just drops out. So for us to start on something that isn't the tonic, sounds glaringly wrong to the non-musician types in the room. Now if we had something under lying our solo that gives continuity to the progression, I think more bassists would be more willing to seemingly go "outside" in this manner. Just my 2 cents.

    I wander if he ever gets tired of always being addressed as Jacos son rather than just being adressed by his own name and recognized for his own talent.

    Love this! In '81 or '82 I saw Jaco play in the back parking lot of Musicians Exchange in Ft. Lauderdale. Mid song someone came out & whispered to Jaco. He stopped playing & exclaimed "my wife just gave birth!". I think he said twins. He then ripped thru the most amazing bass run I have ever heard!

    His last name sounds familiar.

  • @robertfridley280

    Just do the work. What work. I don’t understand the terminology to begin to do the work. Plus, most of what I heard him do sounds like it is not practical for live music settings. I’m more frustrated now than I was before I watched this.

    Not sure it would be cool to have a famous father, especially when you follow in his giant foot steps.

    Props to Felix. That's some hard act to follow and he's found his own way to do it brilliantly. Great stuff!

    Felix seems like a nice, down-to-Earth guy, and what a talent. Jaco would be proud.

    Yeah Felix!! We used to jam together in Miami Beach way back in the day, i think he was 19 or 20 at the time. I still have recordings of some of the gigs on Mini Disc.

    Wow! I did not know Jaco Pastorious had a bass playing son! You learn something new every day!

    That major arpeggio over the minor chord sounds so cool.

    Hey Scott. I like to consider myself pretty advanced in music theory (going to apply for my doctorate in the fall).

  • @brianwilliams1588

    Been playing for the better part of 25 years (theres a long hiatus in there).

    Never heard of him and i'm completely blown away, man he is amazing

    I lived in Melbourne, Florida a few years ago and had the pleasure of meeting and seeing David Pastorius perform, Jaco's nephew. An awesome bassist in his on right also. Think the name of his band was 951 or something like that. Runs in the family I guess.

    I've done "broken thirds" for years but never knew that is what it's called!
