Hands down, the best bass tutor on UA-cam! Love this lesson. 👏👏
Thank you very much.
Love your instruction style! I have two goto online instructors: you and Scott Divine. This slap lesson is fantastic. The level of detail you cover and your ability to sequence the instruction so logically is very helpful. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
Think like a drummer when slapping! These exercises helps with thumb positioning technique which is very helpful ❤
Road to 100k, as I've said - hardest working man on UA-cam!
Seems a long way from the hundreds I was stuck on for a long time. I appreciate each and every subscriber though. Thanks for your support!
I don't know why I bother watching anyone else. Always lessons of the highest quality. Another superb vid. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it. 🙏🙏🙏
Good lesson🎉
Great Lesson as always!
Good exercises. Accuracy is key, so practice also while standing, when you don't want to forever play sitting slap bass. Just to remind everyone. Have fun with the exercises.
Thank you! That was inspiring!
Thank you for such awesome videos. I've watched your chords + harmonics a bunch of times ... I even listen to them while I drive to work. Please continue to make videos like this ... I've learned a lot from you over the past 2 years!!!

나이따
You're my best teacher
Thanks!
Thank you for a great video, looking forward to seeing more of this kind since I just started on slapping recently. On another topic, tried learning I shoulda loved ya by Narada Michael waldon today and was wondering if you could make a video on that incredibly funky bass line, since your video on Good Times by Chic was already super helpful and I love how you interpret songs, especially funk songs (and it has plenty of ghost notes which you recently made a video on..). Greetings 🎸
Hi! Thanks very much. I’ll definitely check that one out - ghost notes and funk is always fun! 🙏👍
The best lesson I've found so far on slapping the bass,. Thanks for this one!
Thanks, Ingrid! Let me know if you have any other lesson suggestions.
@@OnlineBassCourses I would appreciate more slapping lessons in doing ghostnotes with tabs 😀
@@ingrid7277 Ok!
@@OnlineBassCoursesthanks, looking forward to it 😀
OHHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAAAA 😊
i like this guy, only 3 minutes in!!!
Thanks!
Dan, this is Greg I really get a lot out of your teaching videos for bass. I’ve started playing bass in 2018 and I have had three different bass guitar teachers. Your style and technique really is helping me develop more in my bass playing, Thank you. Can you do a video on a song called about damn time by a girl name Lizzo.😊
Hi Greg. Thanks very much and keep up the great playing… I’ll check the song out!
Nice exercise set and tone. What scale is your roadstar?
Thanks! Standard 34.
Nicely explained. I also use tip of index finger for muting.
I can't get the hang of slap and pop. I just get a clank when I slap. No tone whatsoever..
Don’t worry - it will come. It’s probably because the string needs to vibrate and you’re accidentally muting it. It’s that bounce thing (that is tricky) OR slapping through the string and resting on the next one without touching the string you’ve just played. It’s a touch thing that does come with a lot of (possibly boring) repetition.
Great lesson...best I've seen for a slap beginner like me. I assume that you never slap the string into the fret and if so, is it best to have a guitar with a bit more raised action? Also...best to use round wounds?
Thanks! I think rounds sound best, preferably a fresh set. I personally bounce off the string so that it rings properly. Too high an action and it’s too difficult! I might do a video on that soon.
I found slap the hardest technique. I always miss hitting the right string once you change hand position, like when you change from Pluck to slap, you don't find the string you aim for
That’s very common - happened to me loads. Keep at it!
is the bass heavey?,i love the tone and the looks of it..more power and God bless
Not at all. Pretty light.
its a good looking bass@@OnlineBassCourses
It's surprising because the Roadsters are usually quite heavy basses(+/- 4,6 kgs).
i am very new to slapping, how do you slap without the string hitting the fret ? does having a high action help ?
For me, it’s a slightly lower (but not too low) action. The string must hit the fret to get the slap sound. But, you must then allow the string to vibrate by either ‘bouncing’ off the string or slapping through to then rest on the next highest string.
Basically, the string needs to vibrate so quickly come off it!
🎉 hello
👋
Watch chords👍👍
What model bass is that?
1982 Ibanez Roadster with DiMarzio DP126 pickups
I wanted to receive his teachings in Japanese.
英語は苦手なので🥲
Sorry - English only for now!
I played guitar for years and have bought a bass for myself so really appreciate your lessons the ones I’ve looked at so far are really good 👍🏼
Have fun with it!
