Whats the trick for ripping jaco tapping style? Like a looser hand or a tighter feel. Hard to ask but as far as fast tapped baselines like that I wonder if you have any tips. Hails
Thanks for checking out the video!
As far as tips, I think the critical piece to consider is the fingering! I actually changed the fingering about 3 times from my "learning" speed of about 70bpm as I worked toward the recording speed of 128bpm I found certain things just weren't working at faster tempos.
Secondly, I found that NOT repeating notes with the same finger actually helped me get more speed. There were some sections that I had to start out with second or third finger in order to start the second beat with the first finger further down the fingerboard.
Not entirely sure if this contributed either but couldn't hurt, I've been doing these finger stretches daily for the past few months and I think its helped moving around a little better!
