I can't show you a video, but I get my best slap tones when I hit the string with the side of the middle joint in my thumb.

 

Don't take it as truth, but it works well for me.

 

Just a tip.:D

Im not sure if it is still available, but there is a "Hot Licks " video with Stu Hamm out there, and he can slap and pop with the best of them.

I've always wanted a Steinie. Thing is I could have had one back in the '80s, a friend of mine was selling his. :(

Here's some videos I made just for you man... and I don't care if they suck.

 

Because it's 2 in the morning and I ain't touched my bass... for a month and I'm tired as {censored}.

 

See, you get some {censored}ty slap videos AND a poem... I'm the {censored} like that.

 

Slap Vid 1 - Basic line whos wank factor I slowly raise with the use of double pops and double thumb.

Slap Vid 2 - I posted this song a while back during our wank contest. This is how I played it... Hopefully my fingers are far enough out of the way so you can see what I'm doing. And If they're not... I don't care.

 

Slap Vid 3 - This is oldschool Claypool style stum and slap. I wrote this song about a hundred years ago...

 

Slap Vid 4 - I dunno. More wanking.

 

Pay no attention to the grappling shorts I'm wearing, I'm preparing for a little more wanking before bed, if you know what I mean. Though I'm not sure I wanna video tape THAT and post it.

 

Edit: Oh yeah, and the sound sucks because it's direct into my computer with no EQ or anything. But I don't care about that either.

What is the deal with the pastey white '80s guy at the end of that clip? That's just creepy.

So basically your using your finger nail's and hitting the string's correct?

Slapping is just a matter of practice, it comes in time!

If you get the video and do your homework well enough, you will.

This method (along with Slap It) is the absolute reference in slap lessons.
