Fast slap bass riff

[paupur]

Useless without a drum machine or in a band setting. Hook us up so we can find ONE.

[RSCao]

:O

[YetiSomZ]

парень старался очень…но это не музыка!

[Amonfilth]

great shit.

[cameronj279]

i think the video made me shit myself....somehow

[Grimm1977]

Whoa! Thats some skills! Impressive!

[PappaBrax]

I´ve been playing bass for about 2 months. Just kidding ;) Played since I was 16...1991. Thanks for your nice comments everybody!

[hayel2ko]

how many years u played bass?

[PhilAndFrankShow]

NO. FREAKING. WAY.

[joffyjazz]

Good technique and nice sounding bass, Like to hear you in a band setting, Dean

[bassmantomas]

great harmonic there - jaco smiles!

[JACOBASS95]

hell yea i did

[jogurl]

garbage! what a wanker!

[PappaBrax]

You are absolutely right :) First clip I made...just tried to push my limits so it´s not really aiming to be perfect or very "musical".

[DeahOiram]

that was cool. really fucking cool. (not sarcasm)

[loctrex]

nice!

That's how I play after 6 cups of coffee.

[2scrimble9]

@loctrex I once drank 6 pots of coffee and only got diarrhea + couldn't sleep in 2 days :<

[1924balls]

Nice slapping, but can you slap out of any key on the neck of your bass, now we,re talking......U.K.B. Get back to me.

[vorheezy313]

Mad respect! Ill get close some day lol.

[PappaBrax]

Thanks for the comments you guys. I´ll upload a slowed down version as soon as I get the time! Cheers!

[shahafsagi]

wow....what are the tabs then?

E muted A muted something around that, and just slapping fast? O.o

you're crazy XD

[shahafsagi]

How did you basically learn the fast double thumb technique? on the net?

[PappaBrax]

I´m not using the double thumb :) (seriously...I play it with slap/pop & hammer ons)

[jesuskno]

Yeahhhh!

[PhoenX19]

Impressive, but musicaly poor.

But I guess the melodic part wasn't your goal. XD

[PappaBrax]

Haha, yeah you´re right. Just trying to get some speed up :)

[yuraoilwrestling]

That sounds cool, would you email be able to me the tab for that? It just sounds to neat to pass up on learning.

[MyCatIsItchy]

I think you sped it up like a loser wud!!!!! haha jk i love ur vids, i wish i can play my bass that fast :DD

[worksucks93]

bro are you on drugs? thats insane

[PappaBrax]

Haha..thanks.

[felipebass182]

nice perform from your right hand... but .. your doing the same with your left hand.. but you are really fast..!!

[ramon709]

I dont see this as a riff, its more jiberish (or however you write that).

[NexusFive]

nice.

is that a traben bass guitar?

[PappaBrax]

Thanks! No it´s a Peavey Cirrus custom shop. Wenge & ash body. Pretty good percussive "snap" to it. :)

[axelspeak]

Humm, fast he is yes!?

But snatch this pebble from my hand can he?

(Say it like Yoda and it will make more sense)

[MyCatIsItchy]

lol omg

[Redhippo55]

holy cow.

that was some speed!

[1924balls]

Sounds good, but the trick is incorporating all that slap in a song..

[PappaBrax]

Hehe yeah..hard to find a song where it would fit in :)

[1924balls]

No its not, never say never.

[telsonater]

Givin' me a heart attack man. Thats some speed.

[gubgub1234]

can't fool me. i slowed it down, and it was way slower!!

so ha

[blackblood11789]

good job :D

[mzonouzi]

Phowarrrr

[isntthisacrapysn]

That is unbelievably quick...

Possibly the fastest I've ever seen!

[PappaBrax]

Just want to clarify that this clip isn´t meant to be especially "groovy"...just fast.

[Funkyb4ssist]

Sorry but to me that sounded like a bunch of jumbled up crap. There's no hint of musicality in there, it's just a bunch of random notes mashed together. You also need to boost mids.

[PappaBrax]

:) Yeah it´s just a speed-thing..not really going for a musically well sounding riff here. It´s shot with my cellphone so I´ll blame the lack of mids on that.

[Funkyb4ssist]

Oh, if that was taken by a cell phone that's actually pretty good quality then. Sorry. I don't know I can't really feel a groove.

[4041scarycat]

is it just me or has that been sped up?

if not dude u rock :)

[PappaBrax]

Hehe no it´s not sped up...but I´ll take it as a compliment :)

[PappaBrax]

Haha. Thanks!

Yeay it takes some practice but seriously this riff isn´t all that difficult (otherwise I wouldn´t have been able to play it ;) ) Mostly a matter of alternating slap & pop quite fast and putting some notes and ghost (muted) notes in between.

[GottaWatchShit]

FUCK! I cant slap fast to save my life and this video makes me feel worse about it. Lol...

[6evolution]

dude insane. its troublesome for me to slap but niccceeee

[SR1000EFM]

really impressive.i'm not as good as you but i can't hear the "music",you should try to make a real solo starting from that it would be hell!!

but cool,don't worry cool!

[PappaBrax]

Hehe. No worries. There´s not much "music" in this, I agree. Merely a try to get some fast slapping down on video. :)

[02adowlj]

Try taking that same riff through all twelve keys, i find that helps alot during pratice. very Impressive though! how long you been playing for

[PappaBrax]

Thanks man! Been playing for about 13 years or so. Was the first clip I made so yeah I should slow it down and maybe show it in different keys as well. Good point!

[616saligia616]

YOU FUCKIN ROCK DUDE!! it´s nice to se someone who really can play bass guitar. i´ve seen alot of idiot thinking they are good when they aren´t. keep up the good work

[hcorralesc]

It sounds laike a ken smith bass!

[PappaBrax]

Hey and thanks for the nice comments! It´s a Peavey Cirrus Custom shop, ash & wenge body. Filmed with my cellphone so sound is of course better in real life ;)

[hcorralesc]

Very good and very fast solo! AWESOME! hey PappaBrax what kind of bass is this one? I know is a 4 string Peavey Cirrus, but what configuration of woods have this one? I´m very interested because it sounds like a KEN SMITH BASS! ! ! ! ! In my personal opinion..... Thanx

[JBLgangsta]

yeah, and he´s my teacher everybody!!!

[Fik0n]

that is some serious wankin'

[dball12fan]

That was pretty sick man. next to vic thats probably the fastest i've ever seen someone play.

[KicknStep]

wait a minute... uhh... what?

[ZalzZe]

bobo<3 / jakob

[JBLgangsta]

Dude he is freakin awesome! Even Viktor Wooten is just average compared to this guy!

[munchkin929]

Pump your breaks partner

[PappaBrax]

Hehe thanks but I´ll have to agree with munchkin here. Wooten would outplay me with one hand...but thanks for the compliment!

[nielsphilipjwe]

Man that's just ridicilous fast! 5-stared!

[PappaBrax]

Ha ha...thanks!! Gotta agree that it almost looks silly after a while. :)

[munchkin929]

It does'nt look silly that is hard to do I've been playing bass for 15 years that takes lots of hand exercises and dextarity

[hcorralesc]

Hey PappaBrax what type or configuration do have this bass? I think is a peavey cirrus, but what woods have this one? It sounds very similar to a KEN SMITH BASS!!!!
