    Playing bass guitar and guitar for 57 years this Saturday. I just now found this video and you made me fall in love with you at 7:50 when you said, “...if it’s frustrating to you, leave your guitar, come back the next day and try again.” Yes, it’s great advice, but that’s not the part I’m focused on, which is a bit trivial compared to the advice itself, but it’s something a *LOT* of bass guitar players complex over, which is *admitting that the bass guitar IS a guitar!” It’s always great to see the younger folks keeping it real, *THANK YOU!!*

    Hey, great! ... BUT ... there are a few questions left ... a) Depending on scale length of the instrument - WHERE should thumb hit the string (22nd fret? 24th fret? end of fretboard?) ... b) WHICH pick-up should be used? (Bridge or Neck PU or both?) ... c) WHICH kind of bass should be used? (ash body/maple neck? or alder body/rosewood neck? ... ) ... d) long scale bass or short scale bass? ... Greetings and best wishes from Europe/Austria!

    Yonit, you are gifted bassist and teacher. So simple, straight forward and effective. I don't do slap often, not the kind of music I play, but, just it is a tool in my tool box. I always had problems with shoulder pain when I slap. Watching the video helped me realize my posture issue which I will be correcting.

    I don’t play bass but I find this intriguing. I play blues guitar. However, the blues guitarist Albert Collins has used these techniques throughout his whole career. He developed his style out of necessity because he was without a bass player. I appreciate this video very much. Makes me want to purchase a bass. Blues guitar is my main instrument but I do have other instruments that I play around with. I’m not good at these other instruments but gives me time to practice with them to familiarized myself with them. Many musicians have their main squeeze but have other instruments that they tinker with to give them that feel and sound they are looking for.

    I enjoy your videos Yonit. I practiced the slap, pop, and hammer-on you demonstrated here. The only thing missing was how you mute your G string after you pop it. I watched and re-watched your technique, but I could not see what you did. I think you mute it with the same finger you popped it with, but a demonstration or explanation would be helpful.
