Why stick to lead guitar when Jaco Pastorious, was and sill is the greatest bass guitar player of all time, He is the Hendrix of the bass, because he took the instrument to areas that no one else had envisaged.
Jaco Pastorious revolutionised the bass guitar. His work with Weather Report and later Joni Mitchell showed that there was another dimension to how the bass could be played and how it could sound.
He was and still is, one of the giants of modern music. Just ask any bass player about Jaco.
And all this with a fretless bass. To get his sound he pulled out all the frets and puttied them up, which lead to a completely new sound.
Will we ever hear a lead guitarist play without frets? Is anyone good enough?
