Hi Mr. Pete. I'm a jazz, blues, bluegrass and rockabilly player, Tnx for your videos, I think that they are really well done, and very useful, Keep on the great sound and swing!
easily the BEST UPRIGHT SLAP BACK LESSON out there!! wish I could send Mr T a thank you!& a $20 because someone just dumped this whole thing online & he's not getting a cent! He turned me on 2 Willie w/ Slim in Paris and i feel every building block -Technique for Slap Back is Here! although haven't checked out Spaz's new book, he's a Motha & fine Teacher ( Setzer's Band)
Great tutorial, and the angle of your hand is different than many others, and has really helped me with quick triplets. One comment though, at about 2:00, where you describe the slow motion as "pull-palm-slap-pull-----pull-palm-slap-pull....." I think at full speed it was more like "pull-palm-slap---pull-palm-slap--pull-palm-slap...." although I had to re-play it multiple times and I'm still not positive. Great Vid.
hi, i'll start with the double bass and it has a steel strings. Can i play rockabilly or slap with this kind of strings o i must buy another set i'm spanish, my english is not good thanks
Well steel strings is pretty good for slapping but u can get a lot of blood blisters or calluses with it if yah something good for slapping with a good price u can grab some innovation or nylon strings there much better than steel and it can prevent blood blister or calluses which is really painful but if yah want something perfect strings for slapping you can buy a weedwhacker pro gut strings but thing is gut strings are pwetty expensive u can get a set of this strings for about 350-400 bucks but it's really great for slapping ^^
thanks. my uprighbass is now "configurated" for play classical. in the future i'll buy another kind of strings and i'll start with the slap. thanks. i'm from spain, if my english isn't well forgive me :)
low tension steels are good for slapping but guts are best (expensive) but good and not so hard on your neck as steels can create grooves on your neck. One of the reasons I switched from steel to nylon then eventually to gut.
