    I believe the friend that taught him was Evan Brewer, who he played with in Animosity before Evan ended up in the Faceless and later Entheos with drummer Navene Koperweis, who drummed for Animals as Leaders before Matt.
    Another fun fact: Evan was trained by the legendary Wooten brothers.

    Some dude said exactly what he said about how he was practicing it for months and just couldn’t get it down and then bam, he started doing it like he’s been doing it for years

      that’s how it was for me. i usually pick things up pretty quickly and since i’m a drummer and it’s so rhythmic i thought i’d get it down in a couple days, took a few weeks, was frustrated for a bit but now it’s like what i just naturally do on the guitar i’m now it’s like a fidget tool now lol

    This is definitely the same technique as most modern slap bass players use. Cool to know what kind of tone he's using though.

    Lute, too, particularly the 10 course baroque lute, is great for finger working. All repertoire is in tab from then, too.

    Great video. I tried playing his technique just bow and ended up slapping the string here and there, haha. I am, too, curious how he played with his thumb. Thanks Matt for this informative video, 😀

    just use your thumb as a pick duh 🙄 that's the way one of the pioneers (or maybe the inventor) of this technique - Victor Wooten - teaches it. My man wants to look good I guess and tries to overcomplicate it. lame. 😕

      meanwhile you're oversimplifying it. The fuck is the point of an "in-depth" explaination then when you leave a demonstration sesh for merely a minute of the audience's time? I don't think its necessary to teach a usually unheard of percussive technique whilst having to credit and c0ckride victor wooten who or whatnot
