Portrait of Tracy (Jaco Pastorius)

about

Impossible to play all the way through without making a mistake, I must've played Jaco's "Portrait of Tracy" hundreds & hundreds of times trying to get it right, and at this stage I still had a ways to go. Not recorded on the best bass either, but worth sharing! I remember my old late, great bass teacher Greg Piontek giving me pointers on playing the tune, and where certain harmonics were that I'd missed. When I finally had the tune down, he said "Great! Now you play it in Niagara Falls...I'll play it in Buffalo!" Lol!
