    One of the best Slap Bass tutorials I've seen. You broke down what you're actually doing so we all can see exactly what you're doing. You're an awesome teacher; you definitely have the gift of teaching. I learned a lot, thank you.

    Awesome lesson Jermaine! I like how you used a 4 string with fret markers. Also that you dumbed it down occasionally for the beginners. You explained groove very well and the breakdown of slap and pick. Looking forward to future lessons

  • @audiophile8780
    @audiophile8780 3 года назад

    Really good video, and excellent lesson! You did a fantastic job of breaking it down note by note!
    I do have one question, though. If, with the triplets, you are doing a subdivision syncopation of the octaves with the upbeat of 2 (two-pop-and-) and upbeat of 4 (four-pop-and-), don't you need to add one more slap so that you're playing the triplet after the note of the octave and finishing all three slaps before the next note of the ascending scale? This effectively makes five consecutive notes instead of four, one before the triplet (the pluck) and one after the triplet (fourth note of the scale). So instead of "tri-puh-let UH," as though the octave (pluck) starts on "and", it actually starts on the subdivision immediately prior to "and", giving it that funky syncopation, more like "pop-tri-puh-let-UH. UH UH". If the octave is the first note of the triplet, and if the octave remains one subdivision before "and", then a triplet starting on the octave isn't long enough to connect to the next note of the scale in the groove. At least that's how you play it throughout the video, but then when you get to the triplets it seems you almost shift the first note of the triplet (the octave) to line up with "and" of 2 and 4, making only four consecutive notes (when there should be five), thereby removing the syncopation.
    But perhaps I misunderstood your instruction and I am mistaken. Please let me know! They both have very different sounds and I am interested to know which one you mean.

      I'm in Atlanta where everybody's doing music, I've actually been doing good staying in the pocket while recording on different projects since the producer I work with doesn't have any live Instruments so I picked up the bass and I'm eagerly wanting to get better it's like a drug now so I guess I'm drawn to the bass because of my timing playing drums. I hope you have a Gig in the ATL. I'll come watch,, I used to hang out at the Apache cafe, and Catfish station singing a lot Thanks again !!!!

    Hi Jermaine,
    I am one of your silent followers. Nice lesson though. You got my attention when you played a double stop @16:13 to 16:16
    I love playing double stops for Intros and in little pockets. Can you, in your spare time, lol, do a video on that?
    Thanks in advance

  • @cph2004
    @cph2004 3 года назад

    I thinks slap sounds better slowly. It allows space in-between the notes. Sometimes, less is more.

    • @garyohrn3496
      @garyohrn3496 6 лет назад

      Work on your attack man!
      How much pressure your applying to the strings on your fretboard, as well as how you hard or soft you hit the strings when your thumpin n' pluckin or muting.
      Work on that approach and you will make any bass sound good.
      Don't dismiss the other advice you receive :)
      Happy slappin'

    • @SubCultureMEDIAHilbert
      @SubCultureMEDIAHilbert 7 лет назад +1

      So, I leave almost all of my guitars a full step down in D. I think it adds a different sonic character to feel of scales and chords plus, you get that thicker fuller sound ... I will almost never be missing that extra fret of high octave tone, but would totally miss the half or full-step down tones! :)
