Jaco Pastorius is undoubtedly one of the great's of the bass guitar. In this lesson, I'm going to teach you one of his signature licks that he used on (Used To Be A) Cha Cha from his groundbreaking solo album.
This bass lick is fast (136BPM) and involves a lot of 1/16th notes and some hammer-ons. Take it slow and build it up from there.
