Why a third book dedicated to Jaco? A legitimate question! The fact is that, in my opinion, a hundred books would not be enough to study such an important musician in depth! After I had published my collection of 70 transcriptions, many colleagues asked me to write a didactic book to analyse his instrumentation, techniques, compositions and so on. Thus was born ‘Jaco Pastorius: Complete Study’. I did my best to fit as many topics as possible into a book of not too many pages, and I must admit that the end result was a success, with positive reviews even from famous bass players. In spite of this, over the past year, requests for further study from students and, I repeat, fellow bass players, have arrived in the hundreds (and this makes me happy, let's be clear!), I decided to create this sequel, hoping (as always with the utmost commitment) to have done an interesting job and above all up to the standards of an immense character like Jaco.

As always, attached to the book, there will be instructional videos, audio examples and backing tracks.
