Jimmy Haslip: Lessons w/ Jaco Pastorius

[@Bassic778]

Jimmy doesn't get enough recognition for being one of the greatest and original bassists on the planet! His infectious grooves and tasty solos are undeniable and the Yellowjackets will never be the same without him. It's very hard for me to listen the the Yellowjackets without Jimmy.

[@jukesjointOG]

Keith Copeland- Always loved his playing. Those first two or three YJ albums were the best (no offense to Will Kennedy or whomever)...

[@Bassic778]

@@jukesjointOG I agree! Their debut record is one of the best debuts I've ever heard! The late great Ricky Lawson was a monster drummer and Robben Ford killed on guitar! And no, I'm not the great jazz drummer! No relation...that I know of anyway.

[@jukesjointOG]

Keith Copeland- I was going to have you sign my book! But he passed away as well, I see. :(

[@kujah1perc]

really true

[@jacobsmithjr]

Jimmy doesn't remember this but I saw him with Yellowjackets in 1990 in Tokyo Blue Note. I was friends with the hostess that got me free tickets. After their show, Jimmy and William K. came and sat at my table and talked to me and another guy for at least 2 hours! Such gracious, humble, and down-to-earth guys! It was a night I'll never forget.

I just checked the GM 100 greatest Bass Players of all time... can you imagine how dissapointed I was Jimmy Haslip was not in there..... wow, just wow how dare they ha ha, Jimmy is a legend to me 💚

Cool. Music is my savior. It has always been my rock through the worst of times. Everyday is a good day if I’m playing my Bass. Music Has shaped my entire life.

[@reneborromeo9472]

I loved him on different bands, Alan Holdsworths and Mike Stern’s Band. Great bass player.

[@waynefoote3781]

Growing up Is saw this mans name on a lot of albums. To work with Jaco must have been incredible, It is great to hear him speak and this really talented musician has some serious accomplishments.

[@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION]

One of thee baddest Bassist period!!

Jimmy Haslip is above all to me. He made Bass Frontiers Magazine a thing by inspiring me to publish it.

Hey Teddy, great to see you doing classes with a legendary bass virtuoso Mr.Haslip!

Just listen to his fantastic bass solo in Gino Vannelli's "Brother to brother"

[@stevecrumpton9643]

What he does on that track is ungodly.

[@oresynthesizerclub8997]

That was Jimmy Haslip? I didn't know that. It's one of my desert island tunes - and loved Yellowjackets way back when too.

Jaco touched so many players. The mid 1970’s saw Jaco was at the top of the heap.

Jimmy Haslip - TOMMY BOLIN BAND

[@Vincenzo-wn1or]

Mark Egan started on trumpet too .. foundation of their melodic style?

[@tylerthompson1842]

I’ve never played a 6 string bass. The difference from nut to body on the fretboard is crazy. Seems like the strings would be really close together on the first few frets compared to a four string

[@TheSighphiguy]

this dudes 70? gimme whatever hes takin!

[@fjt3637]

Just listen the Michael Francks album "Barefoot on the beach" Jimmy plays at perfection on this album.

[@chrisdaykin3899]

Always wonder what Tommy Bolin and Jaco might have done had they played together. Jimmy apparently played with both.

[@billyshane3804]

Often wondered exactly the same. Right On !!!

[@EarthMedia2009]

Some of the best bass solos with Allan Holdsworth!

[@Steve-mp7by]

Its interesting some lefties keep the strings reversed even when they get left handed basses

[@efa666]

I'm a lefty and I play guitar left handed, but I prefer bass strung in reverse. Gives a different dimension to the instrument.

[@hughjarrse]

Because they learned on an upside down righty and when they get a lefty instrument (for ergonomic reasons) they play the way they learned

Do you still study ? Wow ! I can't EVER remember walking up to your hotel room and you're not in your room shedding.

[@michaelnelson3752]

Haslip's lefty has strings are in reversed gauge/pitch order..........I imagine he first played a right handed bass as a lefty without the ability to change the strings to a left handed in seating them properly for the corrected gauge/order of pitch and as a result just kept it that way throughout his career?..........

For those who decide to learn how to play an instrument that requires the use of both hands: there are no pianos for left-handed people therefore there is no need for building guitars for the left-handed nor "flipping" regular guitars to the "left" side because you still are going to have to use BOTH hands to play it.

[@jamiemorgan4146]

I still say that left handed guitars or basses are ridiculous! Neither hand is more important than the other for guitars. I’ve heard some idiotic and uniformed so called left handed players say that the picking/ strumming hand is more important, but that’s BS. My point was just made by the guitar player talking about the Trumpet. Although the trumpet does use 1 hand for fingering only. It’s questionable though. Is the trumpet better for a lefty, because the left hand holds the trumpet up or the right hand for fingering. Ever heard of a left handed piano, trumpet, flute, sax, bone, clarinet, etc... You seriously end up, making playing the guitar harder for yourself. Most books are written 1 way. There’s a bigger choice of instruments and parts.
