In this lesson I'll be teaching you how to play the main melody line from 'Teen Town', which was written by legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius. It was released on the Weather Report album Heavy Weather and is an excellent study piece for intermediate/advanced bass players.
I used a Zon Sonus bass in this video.

I’ve been waiting forever for somebody to boil this down slowly so I could have a fighting chance to actually play it. Thank you!

Been listening to Heavy Weather recently out of nowhere. Teen Town was really getting to me and I wondered if there might be a dude on RU-vid who felt the same way and had done the dream lesson I imagined. Thanks man for being so competent on all levels. Explaining the fingering, explaining the chords behind and how Jaco was playing through and the presentation of the lesson in general is 2nd to none. Also, thanks for making my day ¥

@Fut-Bio 4 года назад

Stuart, your tutorials are amazing. I want to suggest (as you have the skills) if future lessons could be about songs that are difficult to find accurate bass covers or tabs as you did with Tommy The Cat, which is for me, the best tutorial in all the internet. I would like to suggest Unusual Weather from Michael Manring for the next tutorial. I will spend my quarantine time learning this song. Thank you so much for sharing these tutorials with all of us.

@StuartClayton 4 года назад

Thanks Matias, glad you like my tutorials. I've never heard that Manring piece, so I'm not sure I'll be able to do a tutorial on it. I'll have a listen though.

@Bassistdan1 4 года назад

Stuart - Thanks SO MUCH for this instructional tutorial. I just lifted this for the first time in my life about 2 months ago. I worked endlessly for almost an entire month on it, using all my free-time. I do not know music at all, but I am starting to learn after 40 years of playing. This tune was incredibly difficult but I did get it and posted a youtube video for it. I'm going to re-do this video sometime in the near future with just a backing track - no accompaniment from Jaco. Also, your video is going to come in hand when I finally understand basic music theory and chord progressions. Once again, thanks so much for this valuable lesson. One quick thing - when I record the tune with just a backing track, I noticed that not only is Jaco's bass missing - but so is Joe Zawinal's unison line - and that makes it sound VERY EMPTY! Do you have any suggestions?

@StuartClayton 4 года назад

Thanks for the kind words! Perhaps use my backing track, which you can download from the link in the description? It has the synth bass part on it.

@TheRightHandOfQaz 4 года назад

God I wish every bass tutorial was like this. The first time I heard this song I couldn't even imagine trying to learn it - it sounded so intimidating - but with this lesson I'm already way further than I thought I'd be. Also, as somebody who has a rough understanding of theory and basically no framework for understanding Jazz, I really appreciate you explaining how the bass line helps highlight the chord progression. Thanks Stuart (P.S. ever thought of doing a tutorial for Love Games? :P)

@StuartClayton 4 года назад

Thanks so much for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it! I've done a breakdown of the main groove of 'Love Games' already. If you look at my channel, it was part of a 'My Top 10 Slap Riffs' series.

@craigs19721972 4 года назад

Great analysis again Stuart!!! Not being picky or anything. In the 1st bar, I think the slide starts on the Eb. What do you think?

@johncellario 4 года назад

Craig Sinclair I thought that but I thought it slid up from Eb to E. I got it from a written transcription!

@craigs19721972 4 года назад

@@johncellario I meant to write E flat. I've seen a few with the wrong notes on transcriptions.

@StuartClayton 4 года назад

It's fine to do the slide from the D#/Eb. It happens so quickly there's no real difference anyway.

@littlejoegould 3 года назад

@@StuartClayton respectfully, what jaco does (Eb) is harmonically more interesting and is a real difference, however subtle to some (not to my ears). it's bluesier...the minor/major 3rd thing adds that little bit of dissonance which is just the right aural seasoning. starting on the D is a bit bland. no offence intended!

@StuartClayton 3 года назад

@@littlejoegould I agree, it's better. When I first learnt it, I played Eb as that was what the transcription said (from Joe Hubbard's basslines book). Years later I saw Wooten play it and he used a D. It was easier the way Wooten did it, and I started doing the same. But yeah, it's Eb, which also sounds better!

@dimwits4663 2 года назад

Fantastic lesson, thanks! Question: Having played with an almost exclusively "one finger per fret" technique for a million years, I find it more natural in measure six to use my third finger on all three C#s. Is there a disadvantage to this and should I practise it out? Thanks.

@StuartClayton 2 года назад

Thanks very much. Using the third on the C# is logical and a perfectly good choice. I tend to alternate between finger-per-fret and condensed fingerings, hence my preference for the fourth. But yeah, third is fine.
