Don’t mistake it for Marcus‘ double thumb signature phrase as featured in the main line of „Power“ e.g. though. 😊it’s a similar percussive fast sound but very different in terms of technique.
Whoa, I actually do this as part of my regular warm-up exercises. I think it was something I initially picked up from watching Mark King and Billy Gould.
And THAT is the weird thing about English. Those weird expressions. I have NEVER seen musicians with a blue skin, still many of them think that they have the blues. Why BLUE? No wonder you all look so sad. Here we"ve got a dude that has a ghost in his thumb. You all write bass, and still you all call it a base. What the CPlation is wrong with the European word bas?! In short, you all are pretty confusing. Excuse me, when you are so unlucky to have British ancestors (or ensesters), please switch to Suomi, the language in Funland, ASAP. Just because English is not punny at all, for music lovers especially. Got that? Agree? See you at the town square, for a pint and a party. Pubs? Bugger off, those are bars. Pubs are public LIBRARIES. You all are doing things wrong. Just one example.... Did the euro coin drop, this time?
I didn't known Trujillo played for infectious grooves, I now have a lot more respect for him, his Metallica stuff is just kind of standard shit, not alm that impressive. But infectious Grooves was funky as shit
I already know how to do this 😁 I learned it when you talked to that emo looking guy who plays for dirty loops. You're even playing the same notes he used to demonstrate.
That is a compulsive disorder. You do not have to do anything with these stupid games. You are free to do a great walk (they call it a hike, maybe) in nature WITHOUT a stupid smart phone in your pocket. Forget these screens for one day, please. That's lol. Lol is fun in Dutch. And we do not HAVE to be fortissimo.
Did you know you could pull off triplets in chord format. Not easy but can be done. Sound better than open string that has no reason to be in chord that it's used over. So try that. But the open hammer pluck will have to be inverted at times to make actual chords in the triplet. Good luck. I could post a video on it if you like.
That's a great suggestion! We appreciate your input and would love to see your video on the topic if you decide to post it. Keep those creative bass ideas coming! 🎶🤘
Unpopular opinion (maybe): Slapping “through the string” is not actually slapping. It’s using the thumb as a pick. I’ll never get used to seeing it. Maybe call it something else? True slapping is Louis Johnson, Mark King, Flea, etc.
that's true technically it is not a slap but a pluck. And you're right that what Flea does has a much thicker low end, not as fast but more percussive I think
You make a good point here which I have raised with Scotty but he never replies. In order to slap,you have to impact the strings on frets . The term slapping through the strings is wholly misleading and Scotty glosses over it without providing anything like the detail he did on the vertical bounce off. What you have to do is aim to land your thumb in the gap between the slapped string and the next nearest the floor and use that string as a brake. But in doing so try and slam it into the frets
There is no need to raise your pinky like that when you open hammer pluck, you can anchor your pinky. Open + hammer is only ever (really) on the E A and D, no need to do it, if we are talking really optimizing your technique
These brothers have names, and names have INITIALS and initials are ALWAYS written in UPPER CASE. So you are a sloppy slapping moron. Can't change it into anything better. And you are NOT ma son, nor ma bro. Please change that "my son"... I don't believe they cut stones by hand anymore, so a mason you are NOT. Weirdo maybe. Write (Weirdo) please. I dare you.
Love it, Scott. Been watching Marcus Miller and wondering how he was doing it. Scott, you are my sign that I need to add this to my learning.

@@Phlizz thank you.
Your method and style of instruction are very good.
When are y’all dropping the slap learning pathway or slap accelerator?
Soon.
When you are dropping the rethorical questions. Just now.
the best bass instructor in the YT universe (period) :)
I struggle to get that beautiful slap tone , could you do a lesson on EQ settings for slap,
Man, that groove was so cool. Thanks a lot!
Amazing practice lick thank you
Holy shit i didn’t know gru could play bass so well!
Thanks you master 🙏 greetings from Malaysia 🙏🙏
Great groove scott....i've fitted new strings and i'm on fire🤩
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Love those guys.
You are Da Man...Thanks
Do you always slap through the string? It looks like when you speed up you just bounce the thumb of it?
so it like a slap or a thumb through
Scott What type of gloves are they? rubber or cloth? Inexpensive supermarket rubber gloves?
Great video Scott. I enjoy these bite-sized instructional snippets. And that BN5 is just siiick!
This technique is in Tool's Schism's intro, right?
Thats my fav
Always do it
Great trick, thank you Scott! But the workbook cannot be downloaded. Entered my email twice and download doesn't start... :(
What style of base is that? I love the body shape but don't recognize it
Yesterday I discovered open hammer pluck by myself and today I found this video :)
🧡🧡🧡
Where's the Jeff Berlin interview? Was ir deleted from the channel?
So cool !
i usually ghost the note after the hammer. so it's open, hammer, thumb (ghost), pluck. or even ghost the last pluck too to sound more percussive.

idk why i just can't open the link there. i wanna download the sheets
Sounds like Rob Trujillo's intro to The Infectious Grooves. Thanks Scott. :)
I didn't known Trujillo played for infectious grooves, I now have a lot more respect for him, his Metallica stuff is just kind of standard shit, not alm that impressive. But infectious Grooves was funky as shit
You should check it out Live. :)

Henrike Linder do Dirty Loops usa essa técnica na música Circus
That melody E C# D reminds me of Super Mario Bros. Now I will have to find a game play so I can see what the notes actually are and in which key, lol.

Was scrolling to see if anybody else noticed that. Underground theme for sure, haha. 🍄🐢
@@voornaam3191this is the most off cuff comment Ive seen in a while🤣🤣
Why is your left hand lighter color than your right?
It's a glove that helps keep his hand steady due to a condition that makes his hands shaky

@@buckemptier Yeah, still good playing. I just see people lately barely moving their hands off the strings, it’s all in the thumb movement.

Hey that grove riff is from mario brothers
That immediately popped up in my mind too!
These brothers have names, and names have INITIALS and initials are ALWAYS written in UPPER CASE. So you are a sloppy slapping moron. Can't change it into anything better.

So much said about Marcus Miller..He's no Victor W.I think Charles Berthoud is one of the best ever.Nice to see a young dude destroying the bass.
Blow yer nose Scott...🤒
You're not that good at it Scott go to Buda Dickens and learn his methods..
