Great bass face!{and tone}

[Khano7710]

Wow! Looking foward to lesson 2!

Where?

[funkman1985]

The percussive playing towards the end was really nice. You should tab out the slap bass demo that you do in the other video. It's would be great to learn that.

[tsup77]

Great lesson, no one ever talks about the comfort and natural feeling aspect of right hand technique. And I loved your Funk Face toward the end of the vid =D

[JoshT626]

OMG you are freaking awesome. May i ask what amp you are using?

[happybass1]

Hi, i a now using a few different amps, I am really liking my Hartke Hydrive combo and my SWR MM pre.

[KnaakBakerofPastries]

A big thanks to everyone for the nice words, i will do more teaching related vids ASAP :000)

[jimmac56]

what strings are you using your tone is exactly what im looking 4

[4stringjammer]

its a 5 string, so look closly i think its the A on the 4th or 5th fret so i guess it doesnt matter that it is a 5 string, but ya:p

[giandm]

what's here bass???

[radmin2]

a Lakland. i can tell from the bridge.

[blowoffsorrow]

Good vid, how do you get it so clean with your thumb in that playing the note without other notes ringing out?

[magicfrogtube]

Trying to refine my slap as well, this is one of the better instructional videos I've stumbled across. Please keep pumping these out!

[joe700700]

thanx forthe video...very infomative.

cheers

[SaveSaturday]

That was so awesome!! I've been a guitar player for a long, long time and I recently purchased a bass (I have dabbled in bass guitar playing) and I wanted to make sure I was doing the correct technique. This video really helped!

[vineyardedge]

Thanks! Everyone rips my slap technique to shreds! So I really needed this. Rock on!

[black325ibeamer]

Very Helpful. Interested in slapping..just learning how to do it. You made it look easy and very possible to do.

[Willster690]

i was just wonderin, i like metal/rock more. so could you maybe do something like that and put it up here? cuz this was helpful, but it'd be cool to have a better reference to metalish slap bass.

[cuajonpr]

Pick of destiny!

[happybass1]

Haha I get it :00) I know I look like him, what can I do haha

[memphismb100]

i like the jazz bass xD

[ANTICHITASCIPPA]

awesome, 5++++!!!!

[dust4me]

so when you are hitting the string do you slide below the string for instance when hitting low e when u hit do you tap it then slide down touch the a below it or do you just pull off right away i try and just can't figure out much becuase it looks like you are hiting it from the top then sliding off of it

[Maikacir]

Thank u so much, this was extremely helpfull!! ^^

please make more "playing-tips" vids, thanks ^^

[happybass1]

I am in the process of doing more vids on different techniques and practice tips. Sooooo stay tuned :0)

[Maikacir]

In that case, I will ^^

I'm looking forward to it! ^^

[pisshand050794]

thanks

[pisshand050794]

hey i can sorta slap but theres one problem when i slap a string i keep getting caught up with strings above any tips plz ps u kick ass

[polishpirate123]

well change the angle of the bass as in get the bass closer to your chest or further down

it depends on how you want to slap

mark king has his bass on his chest because his thumb and wrist are parallel to his strings

flea has it low so that his thumb is perpendicular

thats really important

[pisshand050794]

thanks when said i could sorta slap i mean the E and A stringi can't a sound out of the G string and sometimes a D String but hardly ever P.S i know late replay

[punkishsloth]

Wowzers. I can slap a little bit but I'm sure stuff like this is definetely going to help me with my style. I want to do a jam band side project aside from my somewhat metal band. This will add new dimensions to my playing style plus it sounds B.A. on a Kustom Tuck N Roll :-D

[sicmick112]

excellent lesson,

very useful, since most people who pick up the bass want to go to the flashy stuff of slapping.

this lesson focuses on the strong fundamentals that basically support everything.

[Alanbidu]

nice man!!!

[myshirtssuck1]

you talk too much funkin jam dude!

[pandaKeepfit]

he is givin a lesson

if you want jam just see his solos =)

[Issacleeman123]

i know he is awesome on the solos and this is a lesson that is helping me

[MonsieurSteven]

wow :)

[9898halo]

nice dude :)

[lclaughton]

As a bassist and super musician, "very nice" does not quite do it. He is many knotches up from that. This guy is a truly "monster bass player! He is not widely known but, one of the more highly skilled players in pro music today, His background and playing career, and players he has worked with is a testiment of that. His playing level and ability is absolutely amazing.

[happybass1]

Thanks for the kind words, they are very appreciated :0) If you get to Tokyo, look me up...

Craig

[HRD]

You're a great teacher!!

[Word2Herb]

Get a little more eden promo in there ; ) talk about that rig. Other than that very nice...
