Slapping and Tapping, 6-string bass (Jamie Albon)

[disherm314]

Hey, this is some kickass stuff, keep it up.

I myself play classical guitar. So hopefully I can appreciate the work you put into this.

[DGYDP]

Cool track! What chord progression is that (for the beginning of the slap part)?

[jl50950]

[brodycody]

[visualdarkness]

Wow, amazing! Just clean that one upp a tad and you are the new Stu Hamm! Where can I get your CD in the future?

[Pujc]

Holy shit, dude, thats awesome. it takes skill to pop slap that well on a 6 string. nice bass by the way, just like PNut's

[BlueEcho811]

[geckofeatures]

Excellent m8 ive got the same bass and the four string version fretless jus wondering is it harder to play six string slap style than it is on a four string? Or no difference? nice dreads n sideys btw :0)

[CaptainCurls]

Yeah, much harder I'm afraid to say. Six strings in general, when you first pick them up it's like "whaaaaaaaat where's all my ability gone?!"... I basically had to relearn my slap technique... it takes a lot of getting used to. But it's really rewarding when your get it!

[bimvifash]

Yes it's tighter to play. I always have a six and four string on stage; they give very different feels and sounds.

[petersonp715]

double thumb technique on six strings tho i find to be a lil easier

[metalhead1190423]

The tapping sounds great, just needs to be cleaned up. Cool song!

[Tranxhead]

Awesome! This is the stuff! So this is the mystical Wooten-like technique you described to me?

[CaptainCurls]

No it isn't actually... it's just slapping chords. I've got another video on the way, then you'll see.

[Tranxhead]

Oh, OK... Can't wait!

[adbarker]

nice man, gotta say im in awe and i want ur bass, what make is it?

[CaptainCurls]

It's a Cort Artisan A6... if you're interested, the amp is an Ashdown electric blue 180W

[Wozzname]

[geckofeatures]
