a sharp, not a flat, just saying. Good instructional video! Its cool how you can take the menacing a sharp octave slap, and slide it to add more emotion, i love music
enjoyed video. two observations 1. an octave fingering on the left hand is more comfortable using the first and fourth fingers instead of the first and third and 2. it seems we are in the key of A minor and an A sharp seems a little strange here. it would probably be less confusing if we called that one a B flat - it would make more sense. keep up the good work
Btw,rhcp are funk not pop lol.Well,you can say they are bunch if different styles but their song called "how strong" describes the style of the band best and it's some kind of alternative to funk or somethin'..
Funny slipping the chic pic in there in the middle of the lesson. Great intstruction by the way. You take the time to show the fingering on the fretboard. Much appreciated.
yo yo yo whats up dude on the bass are you and dave like in a band together or you just a teacher will shoot im a bass player and all ways looking for a good teacher to learn from good job

Thanks for the lesson! That double slap with the thumb is tough but I can tell it'll bet better with practice.
I like the sawed off pickguard on that P-Bass. The Moderne in the background is awesome!

Good lesson. You should hit down on the string with the thump slap instead of hitting it dead on, to sustain the note better
