This has got to be one of the BEST tutorials I've ever seen for a beginner or higher level musician. He breaks the dynamics so calmly, it's magical. Thank you Travis.
Great video! That really simplifies the process of getting started with slapping technique. As a beginner trying to become an intermediate, I really appreciate that.
It's good to see someone teaching slaps in a 5 string, I'm learning now and I'm having a hard time striking the strings precisely and muting that B string
Duuuuuuuude! This is a phenomenal breakdown! This is what I’ve been looking for! This is gonna help me up my game tremendously! Thank you! I’m subscribing RIGHT now! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Travis! I’m sure that your videos are helping more than just my bass playing. Bass is the glue in every band! So whole bands are sounding better!
2:59 yes thats it but doens't get across just how hard it is to be that precise haha, especailly if you are heavy handed like me with it. Must be subtle!
Your bass pedal link does not work, and I would like to know what you use. Excellent video, a lot to learn, keep it up man, you are an amazing muscician!
What I don't understand is how to eliminate the fret buzz after you play a note and your fingering hand is leaving the fret board. When I play I always hear buzz as I am lifting away to mute the string. Is there a way to control that split second of fret buzz?
Not ground breaking but probably helps others who aren't aware of ghost notes. Most would advise using at least 3 fingers to mute than using 1 as you here harmonics or partial harmonics ring out.

Honestly I'd really love to see these techniques be used more in metal music. They lend themselves so well to it but only math and djent bands have figured that out lol
Experienced guitarist here who just recently picked up bass. This is one of the most AHA videos I've ever watched. Very much appreciated!

Thank you so much, Travis! This was a huge eye-opener for me! Such a cool and fun approach!
Excellent lesson.I've been playing for over forty years but I suck at slap.This actually helped! Thanks 👍
Love the playing and classes. I just picked up the bass guitar as a 50 year old and you are the first person I subscribed to. Keep doing it.
I'm honored. Welcome to the family!
11:00 BARELY beat you to it. 😂 I was too mesmerized and focused to remember to hit that like button 🤣
This video is lit. I’m gonna use these tips to improve my own slap bass improvisations. The possibilities are endless
Great video! That really simplifies the process of getting started with slapping technique. As a beginner trying to become an intermediate, I really appreciate that.
Great advice, really good communication on how this applies to playing slap bass. Awesome dude.
Awesome! I've slapped for 20+ years & never heard a teacher/lesson state Doubles, Triples, 3rds & 5ths like that. 🙏
It's good to see someone teaching slaps in a 5 string, I'm learning now and I'm having a hard time striking the strings precisely and muting that B string
It is truly amazing and those who have just started Bass guitar will be useful very much. I always love your playing styles bro.

Thank you sir for this.
You look good brother. Keep doing what you do.
Great video. Thanks
Thank you brother! Jesus bless you!
Awesome love it
Good stuff man!! That 6 minute mark sounded like the opening bass line for Grease. 🤣😂
Awesome stuff my buddy and brother 🙂
Scotty! Appreciate you man.
@@TravisDykes thank you so very much Travis 🙂may God bless you and all your family we are praying 🙏 for you all everyday 🙏 💙
Awesome. Thank you.
Some Dunlop Ultra brights might sound really good on that.
Yeah, I'm totally down to try those!
Hey Travis! I need some advice on Handicap my plucking hand.. I can’t feel the strings Bossman??!!🤔
This video is just too good 🔥
Great lesson man… l learned something
2:59 yes thats it but doens't get across just how hard it is to be that precise haha, especailly if you are heavy handed like me with it. Must be subtle!
I love seeing slap on a five string! Nice!
Your bass pedal link does not work, and I would like to know what you use. Excellent video, a lot to learn, keep it up man, you are an amazing muscician!
That bass is just too nice. Kind of makes me miss my five-string jazz bass.
Nice grooves and great explanation but are those actually triplets or rather a three note phrase using 16th notes in that rhythm?
He's playing three 16th notes, not triplet rhythms.
@@d.l.loonabide9981 that’s what I thought. He should use double and triple instead of “triplet” to avoid any confusion. Thanks.
His tutorial is very good apart from that.
Helped me a lot, thank U very much 😎
Your style and technique would pair so well with a Musicman Stingray 5, Pedulla MVP5, or a vintage Tobias Basic 5.
Yeah, I don't know how I feel about the sound of those Bass Mods...They sound too sterile to my ears 🤔
Learned so much!! Thanks for this!!!
Thankyou my man
What I don't understand is how to eliminate the fret buzz after you play a note and your fingering hand is leaving the fret board. When I play I always hear buzz as I am lifting away to mute the string. Is there a way to control that split second of fret buzz?
I hope this video changes my unable to slap
5:48 "You're The One That I Want" from Grease
Thanks
Awesome lesson, as always!!!
what make and model is that beautiful bass you’re playing?!
Bass Mods K534!
Haha Horace Trahan. i think that sounds like the beginning of the song from grease . your the one that i want . lol
Not ground breaking but probably helps others who aren't aware of ghost notes.
Most would advise using at least 3 fingers to mute than using 1 as you here harmonics or partial harmonics ring out.
I agree. You want to use single finger mutes very seldom because they do cause those harmonics to ring out. Thank you for that!
Amazing job with this tutorial! Thanks, it helped me a lot.
Did Juna Serita start like that too?
How do I get your outro Jam Travis ¿!!

Me: You just told us how it's done and I think your the father of "pros"
P.S thank you so much it's been a week and I'm progressing much better ❤️
Too much infos! But loving it bro! Keep it coming!
Good
I definitely need to practice muting more. My Ibanez rings a lot!
Honestly I'd really love to see these techniques be used more in metal music. They lend themselves so well to it but only math and djent bands have figured that out lol
Has that particular Bass (you are playing in this video ) been set up yet or were your D and G strings just out of tune ?
@7:38 sounds like chris brown “Fine China”
Hey Travis what brand bass are you playing? I can't seem to find it online, I saw one at Texas bible college this year but couldn't tell
Wahou 😭 thanks 🙏
What you call triplets are 16th notes. A better word would be f.e. "triple strokes". But in general, I like your video!
New sub
@travis what brand name bass guitar is that? She is beautiful!!
Its a Bass Mods K534
@@TravisDykes nice. I like your playing. I am just starting to learn how to play the bass.
hi what brand is this bass?
What I struggle with is plucking the actual string I mean to pluck. And plucking it cleanly, without it being too soft
