Basstastic!:

If you like Jaco, and you like his playing, this is the book for you! I have listened to Jaco for several years now. This book really breaks down each song. I got this book for the two songs: Portrait of Tracy and Donna Lee. I really found this book to improve my playing. The songs are quite difficult (donna lee), but well worth it when they are polished out. The crowd loves them. Good bass solo material. Real good for your bass music library. A "must have"

Easy to understand and follow.:

I'm a big Jaco fan and I am very happy with the songs and ,though there are a few more difficult songs,like Donna Lee, any Jaco fan will enjoy this book.If you dig Jaco,buy it.

I'll admit that I will NEVER be 1 tenth the talent Jaco was, but...:

In just two lines, Jaco does things with his bass (a Fender Jazz Bass) that most "lead" guitarists... more info
