Comment which one you'd like me to do a full cover of!

[natalielastname]

What amazes me about Jaco is that you are an incredible bassist and Even you had to slow down Donna Lee to play it at Jaco's level

[jackcari]

0:00 to skip all the excessive speaking.

[rogerloess]

At this point I’m starting to wonder if that headphone cord is intentionally positioned to generate anxiety in the viewer

[Tomatohater]

My favorite from Jaco - Havona; thanks a bunch for playing this. In 1981, the only time I ever saw Jaco play live in Florida, he and his Word of Mouth band played this and the crowd - although small - was speechless, including me.

[J.Rizza.]

My disappointment at the lack of Portrait of Tracy is immeasurable

[fugginrambo]

Yeah Charles, you're a young legend keeping Jaco's audio alive. So many young people would never even know the name or sound of JP

[Louckeable]

A little too much talking in the intro, otherwise perfection!

[shawnmccammon]

I saw Mr. Pastorius play in Monterey many years ago and have been listening ever since. I love it.

Charles you clearly are a good bassist. And this thing, I think, gives a better idea of how much incredible was jaco.
I mean, look at how difficult is to play chromatic fantasy on bass, even for you that are so good.
If you listen to the recording of that piece you can hear not only every single note, but also played with incredible rithm and expression.
The amazing thing is that on YouTube there's a live version of jaco playing chromatic fantasy, and he played at the same tempo as the album version.

I have to thank you for introducing me to Jaco. Until a week ago, I had never heard of him, now his music has changed my life... and I have you to thank for it!

[nickdimitrievski]

I’m proud to say I’m at the “Easy” level

I know “Come On, Come Over” is by no means Jaco’s hardest song...but gosh it’s fun to play!

[evancrockett]

With "Teen Town", you can sorta hear the influences for Joe Dart of Vulfpeck. Cool!

[arke]

It's not just the fact that you can play that in the first place, but that you play it so damn clean too. Your string muting is on point af.

[rodolforibas]

"easy" Jaco is like normal "hard" for human beings

[jacksonb]

You are what I want Davie’s channel to be. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good meme. I just feel like David is wasting his talents playing slap funk on a 4-string over and over again. His channel used to be full of challenges and fancy out-of-this-world basses. Now I just feel like he’s copying PewDiePie’s content. Keep it up Charles! You truly are a PRO

[jonaseason]

I watched the last two like twelve times. You rock man.
RIP Jaco.

[scottmurrell]

Phenomenal. Thank you for sharing your artistry and for honoring Jaco,

[bmwracer]

It is not only the playing of Jaco, but also his compositions that are much better than I ve ever heard on your channel
