Summary of This Method
Modern Electric Bassoffers an intimate look at Jaco Pastorius's approach and what makes his language powerful: a very lyrical musicality, a refined touch, and a way of constructing electric bass grooves that has influenced generations of musicians. Rather than a simple compilation of exercises, this method serves as a guide to understanding the musical characteristics that define his identity, based on played and contextualized examples.
The book highlights note-for-note transcriptions of the lessons from the companion video, allowing you to follow the content in a structured way and work on passages with precision. You will find Jaco in playing situations through several solos, as well as a bass duo with the legendary Jerry Jemmott, who also acts as host, providing a clear and musical framework for the sequences.
The method also includes a trio performance of about 20 minutes with John Scofield on guitar and Kenwood Dennard on drums. This is an opportunity to observe the bass in a group context, identify the role of rhythmic placement and line construction, and hear how ideas translate into real music. A valuable resource for bassists looking to enrich their vocabulary, refine their articulation, and draw inspiration from a major reference in modern electric bass.
