If you’ve been struggling to move forward with your slap technique, this lesson will show you exactly why — and how to fix it.
Most players try to develop advanced funk slap bass technique using a bouncing thumb motion, but that approach hits a wall fast. Yes, the bounce is great for lots of Flea, Mark King and Louis Johnson lines. But Larry Graham, Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten use a TOTALLY different approach!
In this video, I explain why the rest stroke thumb action approach is absolutely essential for developing clean, powerful slap bass tone in any register and it's the foundation for moving into Victor Wooten/Charles Berthoudt Double Thumb technique!
In this video you’ll see clips from two full lessons inside the Slap Bass Essentials course at TalkingBass — a technique breakdown followed by an example Slap Groove video.
Once you get the rest stroke nailed, the path to faster, more controlled slap bass playing becomes much easier — whether you’re tackling funky grooves and riffs or more advanced slap lines.
