keep at it and it will come together eventually
pedal? you dont need no stinkin pedal....

I would focus on a couple of things:
1. The fretted bass notes. Listen carefully to the recording, you're playing more bass notes than Jaco. Cutting out some of those will add some space and slow the forward movement.
2. Practice getting those harmonics to ring more clearly. The bass will get those 2nd and 3rd fret harmonics if the player has the right touch. Remember, the closer you get to the nut the more accurate you need to be.
As for a pedal, Jaco didn't use one. Some players will use a subtle chorus to try and emulate his natural sound, but I don't think its necessary, and a lot of times a chorus will choke harmonics.
Hope that helped.

I think it gives a false sense of the type of the tune it is.
You also added an extra bar in the middle.
Aside from that...Cool! |
