Members DerekDRP Posted October 25, 2005 Members Posted October 25, 2005 Can some one show me a slap video? An if this topic was discussed by me like 2 month's ago sorry about. I just want to see some slapping.
Members 82Daion Posted October 25, 2005 Members Posted October 25, 2005 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.

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.

Members Bag_End Posted October 25, 2005 Members Posted October 25, 2005 Originally posted by zenfascist Rrghh, I want a Steinie. I've always wanted a Steinie. Thing is I could have had one back in the '80s, a friend of mine was selling his.
Members Dark Slide Posted October 25, 2005 Members Posted October 25, 2005 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.
Members sunburstbasser Posted October 25, 2005 Members Posted October 25, 2005 Pay attention to Dark Slide. He knows how to slap a bass. Bassius also had a clip a while back. There are numerous slap videos at www.basslobster.com. I'm a fan of the Louis Johnson and Marcus Miller videos personally.

So basically your using your finger nail's and hitting the string's correct?
Members sunburstbasser Posted October 26, 2005 Members Posted October 26, 2005 http://cort.axegrinder.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=349 There ya go, a guide to slapping I was asked to do for the Cort forum a while back! No videos but I tried to explain everything as well and clearly as I could. It doesn't go into the super-complex stuff or anything, but it should get you started.

Members DerekDRP Posted October 26, 2005 Author Members Posted October 26, 2005 I will post my first slap song ( it will basically be the chromatic scale in slap )

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.
