I began learning this song 2 months ago and I'm slowly but surely getting to the end. Now I'm able to butcher maybe 95% of the notes which is beyond my wildest expectations compared to where I was 2 months ago. Thanks Benny you're a gem
Welcome back! I just played The Chicken on Thursday with a guitarist and a drummer, just fooling around and broke into the groove. I like this version a lot. Thanks.
Perfect ! Played perfect and great tone. Simply love this tune , Jacco ( however sadly turned to playing harp) is watching and smiling in musicians heaven ...
There's a separate heaven for musicians? Jaco was in my dream last night. Turns out he's still alive and on a cruise ship somewhere. Super nice guy. Let me play his bass and everything . He had some modifications done to it the neck can bend
@@ЧеловекУмный-ф8с :D you just reminded me of my dream :) I was watching 'Jaco Pastorius Modern Electric Bass' playing a lot of bass. Practicing his songs and I'd watched the Documentary by Robert Trujilo on Jaco. Brilliant btw. And listening to the albums and I'm sure he's been in my dreams twice although i can't remember. I do remember vaguely the cruise ship one though :D His Bass neck could bend like a centipede almost. helped with stretches :DD lol
2 days into woodshedding this one. I'm only at 1m45s. The syncopation is amazing, and my little pea brain can't handle it. @BennyTheBassman, thank you so much for the effort put into this!!!
Wonderful job Benny, Jaco was a genius they way play the lines respecting the soloists but at the same time creating a impeccable groove is just amazing! Thumbs all the way up and of course subbed!
I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes as I was watching this video. So well played, written, musically notated! Wow! I’m sharing it with every fellow musician I know. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Totally excellent! I like ur playing a 4-string. Some of these RUclips videos these guys are playing Jaco with a 5-string. It's just not the same, it kinda blows the mood for me.
This was AWESOME! I loved the count-down - super colorful like your playing! I'm so glad that you're back, Ben-ny ;~> Thank you! Still tapping toes and smiling!!!!!
I was looking for another song to learn, so this is going to be it. Thanks Benny! Glad you're doing this again. I subbed while you were taking a break, but I'm still glad that you're back to doing what you love!
Sweet! Glad to give you something more to work on :) And welcome to Benny-of-the-present, as opposed to Benny-of-the-past. Thanks for sticking with me.
i have a question. My band teacher talked before about it’s important for the bass to keep time even though the drums are the backbone and metronome of the band. He expressed that if the band could keep time without the drummer that adding the drums would be the icing on the cake. i’d like to hear your opinion about this!
every time i put my hand up to play a note theres an entire part that flies by and i put my hand down because theres no way in hell im playing all that lmao
my jazz band might be playing this song (highschool). I’m the guitarist but it would be a very tasty song if the bassist in my band were to play like this.
The legend is back.
I love how Jaco improvises so much when the other solos are going on. Amazing playing @BennyTheBassman of course
he reminds me of john paul jones from led zeppelin
i mean he is a jazz musician after all
Just found this channel and walked into my favourite bass player. Brilliant playing and transcription to have a blast at. Binging now
Welcome! 😈
What an absolute pleasure to listen and watch you play this classic Jaco song! You make it look so easy!

Thank you so much! I convinced the Jazz Professor at my school to do this song and I can't wait to get started on this song!
Welcome back! I just played The Chicken on Thursday with a guitarist and a drummer, just fooling around and broke into the groove. I like this version a lot. Thanks.

@@BennyTheBassman You're very talented, so of course! Cheers pal!
This was my favorite song in my high school jazz band. It would've been jazz police but we just weren't good enough to pull that off.
i have a question. My band teacher talked before about it’s important for the bass to keep time even though the drums are the backbone and metronome of the band. He expressed that if the band could keep time without the drummer that adding the drums would be the icing on the cake. i’d like to hear your opinion about this!
Yay! Awesome!
great job!!
Ouch, that is awesome!
every time i put my hand up to play a note theres an entire part that flies by and i put my hand down because theres no way in hell im playing all that lmao
Great video.

my jazz band might be playing this song (highschool). I’m the guitarist but it would be a very tasty song if the bassist in my band were to play like this.
Wow... just wow
