HOW TO SLAP BASS (beginner, intermediate and BOSS level)

I still can’t do it. Either I need different strings or a different bass or I just suck at this

Am I stupid I couldn't even get the first one. Can someone please tell me what to do?

Does slapping and pop need to have force?

Why is the hell. I have been playing for over 30 years. I can play pretty much any bass riff from tool to maiden etc. I can not slap whatsoever. None of this made sense. I can pop it but my thumb just sound exactly like a normal finger pick sound. I play with emg 18v pickups on my 90s epiphone EBM 4 string. I bought CDs and book back in the day. Am I too white? And other suggestions?

I don’t know how

This is actually the first video I'm watching on slapping the bass! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Its so hard to practice bass because I don't have it I only practice bass using guitar

Stick to one good camera angle when showing a pattern slowly in detail because switching camera angles mid pattern is very confusing and counterproductive. Also less video work for you too. Thx.

Just for the record, you said beginner... 🙃

There is so much that goes in to slapping then he is showing. Its not that easy

This is my first video, you're popping my bass cherry I swear

Awesome content and good book for follow up practice.

I’ve watched so many videos to learn how to slap but this is the first one that i can understand, tysm ˆ

Played the bass for 20 years, still cannot get a single sound by slapping srings, using that method did not help either. Guess slapping isn't for me.

I do like Sly & The Family Stone. Thanks for giving me that example it is a classic ref but you’re right it is supposed to be beginner level but it is a great example

when i hit the string my bass sounds too clear idk if im doing it wrong or if it's my strings or what

This was also my first slap bass video

This is my very first slap bass tutorial video! :)

One animal was harmed in the making of this video 🐟

Very helpful video. It'll take time but I will get the slap down. The more advanced stuff...well, we'll see, but I'll give it my best. Thanks.

I been playing for 15 years and I never learned much of slapping and I want to do more pop slap solos to impresses my musician friends

Im wondering were primus would land in this list from beginner to master

Started learning slap on Kick Back, the chainsaw man intro. this helps alot thank you 🙏

Where is the free workbook????? All I see is subscribe links and course links?? Why do you do this.....

I cant even get anything that sounds like an actual note 😭

I don't think I can physically slap bass based off of my thumb anatomy. My thumb hasn't a clear bone sticking out it's hidden by flesh and it's straight not bent at all

I can’t wait to finally play like Mark King or Louis Johnson, that day will be a blessing!! ✌️😙

He talks sooooooooo much I’ve lost patience in th4 tutorial. Goddaaamint

Thanks Ian!

for a second I thought scott changed up his accent, scared the shit out of me

I'm sorry, but for the life of me I cannot see what to click to get the free workbook. Help please!

so for slapping the G-String, you use the middle finger.. Hell yeah man..

Pathetic!! The Blind leading the blind. Subscribers to this site are suckers. (all day version)

Would’ve loved learning how to dead a note or how to let something not ring with it sounding dead. That’s where I’m always confused.

can you do tjhis with a 6 string bass

I tried slapping practice today because my bass got fixed. But it is currenlty 12 am and my dorm RA knocked on my door to tell me to shut up. Now I can't play :(

You wrong, this is my first video of how to slap the bass

Nice

Danm slapping bass sounds so good

Очень классно объясняешь!!!

Do you need a certain type of bass?

I did not have fun, but I will practice these tips until I do 😂😂😂

I have to pull the String pretty hard up to produce that Pop sound. If i pull a little bit less harder it does not make that pop sound. Is that coming from a lower string Tension on my Bass ?? Does it have to pop no matter how hard you pull ? I am confused...

I find this thumb technique virtually impossible to reproduce. Hitting the string rather than going through it is so much easier.

man,see Tom Jenkinson(A.K.A Squarepusher) from Squarepusher and Shobaleader One
that is slap a bass

how do i slapa da bass

FINALLY ! I CAN PLAY JUST LIKE LES CLAYPOOL NOW !
