Was trying to learn slap last month, but I didn’t make much progress so I took a break. This has given me some ideas, will definitely try it again. Great lesson
Good luck with it. 🙏👍
I love those old Ibanez basses. That thing sounds so good.
Agreed, but getting a bargain like Dan's is a tough thing these days. Need to have the readies at hand, be quick and lucky as they get snapped up.
Gotta think of those lovely thumpin tones Sting got from an Ibenez in the early days. Great basses 😎
I got very lucky with this one.
@@OnlineBassCourses You have two! 😂
It's time to get my slap chops sorted This lesson has really helped. Your explanation at 14:30 is gold dust; thank you. Great exercises too.
Thanks 🙏
That intro was so sweet dude! U got that down packed. I can't slap a rhythm w/m thumb too save my life .😂😢😂🤣
Take it slow and work hard at it over time. You’ll get it!
@@OnlineBassCourses Ur so right Dan, definitely! It's going to take some time, you've demonstrated some good exercise to pursue a better/good slap technique.
Good lesson, Dan. I have only had success in slapping, if I came slightly down towards the A string if I’m slapping the E string. (Not a plucking sweep though). Going 90-degrees perpendicular on the string usually netted me with a dead note. Even with bouncing. Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but it works for me.
If it works for you then it’s definitely not wrong! 🙏👍
I’d like to see a discussion of setting up a bass for slap. For example, how low does the action need to be? I don’t set up my basses for very low action because I don’t like the resultant fret noise. That’s probably why I don’t get good results by bouncing my thumb; rather, I find it easier to play my thumb through the string.
Perfect lesson Dan. I can tell you've put some hard work into getting this right for yourself. I was about to give up slapping but you've inspired me. Thanks.
Glad to hear that - keep it up!
Perfect lesson ❤
Thanks!
Thanks very much! 🙏🙏
Great slap and pop details. Thanks Dan!
🙏
Thanks Dan been wanting to learn slap for a while now and thanks also for the download
Hope this helps!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 muchas gracias saludos desde Chile
Great lesson…thanks! This is on my long list of things to work on! 😅
You can do it. 👊
One area I just can't get the hang of, slapping and muting(ghost notes), I nearly always get a slight harmonic no matter how hard I practice the technique.
Great lesson Dan, let's see if it helps me. 🙂
Edited for question - How important, how much of an influence is action when slapping?
The muting thing definitely takes time to figure out. Action is important. Too high and it’ll feel too hard. Too low and the tone will suffer.
@OnlineBassCourses Cheers Dan! One of the pbasses I've got has fairly high action, think I'll lower it slightly on that advice because atm it's the one instrument I can slap a little better as a rule.Think it's around 4.5mm at the 17th.
Thanks for this lesson. I can't slap to save my life but I play 5 string primarily due the various genres that I cover. I almost feel that the 5th string (low b ) almost becomes a hindrance when I do practice. Would you say that slap bass is easier to play on a 4 string?
I reckon that’s true, yes. I do slap on my 5 strings but muting becomes even more of a consideration and the string spacing (depending on what bass you have) can be more challenging.
Please make a video about slapping on a 4 vs. 5 vs. 6 string bass. Please, nobody was made this kind of video.
I’m not sure many people will want to watch that but I’ll have a think!
@OnlineBassCourses Thanks for considering it. The issue is around string spacing, mutting. Why guys like marcus Miller and Victor wooten,Stanley Clark, who is known for slapping, still uses 4 strings mainly. I have seen Marcus Miller use his thumb on his left hand to mute. Can this technique work on 5 and 6 string bass?
I think Andrew Gouche is the one slapp bass player that uses a six string.
Other six string bass players like thundercat and Pattatuci are not known for slapping.
The four string bass seem to be the king of slapp bass?
@@ontiretsemagome9154 I think you're right. There's a reason the 4 string dominates slap and that's because it's easier and the string spacing works well for it.
perfect video. Muting is my greatest struggle when not slapping an open string as I get harmonics.
Muting is a tough one when slapping for sure!
