Jaco Arpeggio Exercise - Great For Technique

[greghagger]

I was reviewing the Jaco Pastorius 'Modern Electric Bass' instructional video last week, for the first time in about 25 years! It was really interesting to watch and learn from.

 

One of the exercises in the video is an arpeggio exercise that gets you flying around the whole fretboard. It's really great watching Jaco explain the exercise and to hear him play it - his tone is awesome!

 

This exercise is perfect if you want to master your fretboard, work on your technique, and discover more about harmony.

 

In my latest YouTube video I break this Jaco exercise down and explain how to play it.

 

There is a free PDF link in the video description. 
 

Enjoy!

This is a great video.  I haven't watched the Jaco instructional in *years*.  Thanks for doing this; should be helpful. I'm struggling with big stretches (I have drummer hands).
