This chart, made famous by bass virtuoso Jaco Pastorius, gets kicking with a killer gospel chorale, but is soon interrupted by one of the funkiest. View details. View details. Kris Berg brings you another helping with No Spring Chicken. It's funky with a capital F, the groove is infectious, and the solos are written or ad lib for tenor.

'Music is in the air. It's my job to pull it out.' --Jaco Pastorius 'I try to make sure my part is notable -- that it's not only right for the song, but also represents the bass in the highest light.' --Nathan East 'The art of music is governed by the laws of harmony, theory and rhythm. These laws and theories must be studied in order to attain and maintain precious, unforseen rewards.' --Chuck Rainey 'Even when playing the simplest song with just whole notes, make sure that they're very good whole notes!' --Larry Paxton 'It's the bass that makes them dance.'

--Darcy Wright 'Guitar is for the head, drums are for the chest, but bass gets you in the groin.' --Suzi Quatro.

At a fast tempo like this, the difference between the two is somewhat slight, but the shifting back and forth is definitely there.

Don’t let the time changes throw you off. I’m sure Jaco wasn’t thinking consciously in terms of changing time signatures like at the bottom of page 1, he was probably just playing the music he heard it in his head. If you get hung up on trying to read some of the more difficult rhythmic phrases, just try to hear them and play it by ear instead of reading them.

COME ON, COME OVER Listening to this song was like a revelation for me – it was the first time I was really introduced to the genius of how muted notes can funkify a bass line. Probably the hardest part then, is in getting a perfectly steady stream of notes, with a perfect rhythm clipping along regardless of whether your fret-hand is holding down the note or lifting up just a bit to mute the note. This is a perfect spot to take the written music and play it alongside a metronome, concentrating on a perfect, steady stream of notes clicking along at a slow, steady rhythm before attempting to take the whole thing up to the speed of the recording with Jaco cruising full-steam ahead. The intro lick may throw you off a bit with the quick slide from F to F# and back, that three note slide is so fast that it can be mistaken for a single note with vibrato. It’s a unison lick with the keyboards, however, so if you listen to the keyboards playing the same three notes without the fretless slides, you’ll be able to hear the rhythm of those notes a bit more distinctly.
