[MADEINMAIDEN]

HE SPEAKS PERFECT ENGLISH IN THIS VIDEO. LOL

[LPDBMC]

Translate by myself (sorry for mistakes)

"Hello friends ! To play a good slap, you need a good thumb,

if possible the right for right-handed and the left for left-handed.

It's same for bassists, i.e., we have two sounds of thumb.

A sound simply *slap*, a note and a ghost note *slap* stifle by the left-hand the sound.

Between that, we have the bounce of the left-hand *slap*.

They are the three basic sounds.

...

[LPDBMC]

... And we have the return played with 1, 2, 3 or 4 fingers.

With 1 finger *slap* who can be a note or a ghost note.

It can be with 2 fingers, *slap*for a fifth.

It also can be with 3 fingers, we have a huitain (octave) *slap* and after,

you can enjoy yourself by playing fourth harmonies (not sure about words)

by harmonies on strings 'DGBE' *slap, again :D*.

Now, it's your turn to find some combinations by placing hamer-on and pull-off *slap*."

After this, I think it's not very important.

And then he started speaking French...

[fenris526]

[000Z9A]

@uiduiugi HAHAHA :p

[fastslapify]

genial!!



[rraaffyyyy]

Yeah, yeah, i just wish i could understand a thing he's saying.

[DargoAcaet]

@rraaffyyyy "Hello, friends. To make a good slap, you need a good thumb, if possible, the right if you're right-handed, the left if you're left-handed. In fact, that is exactly the same technic that bass players use. So, we'll have two sounds with the thumb, one making a simple note, and a dead note sound, which we'll do by stifling the sound with the left hand. Then we have the rebound with the left-hand. Here is the 3 basic sounds. (End at 0:57)

[hypemabajee]

@rraaffyyyy haha, if you have to understand just one thing, it has to be the first sentence : "to play a good slap, you need a good thumb" look again at the video and his god damn funny face when he said that=)

[sunnyjim98]

@RENDUI your loss! XD its epic-ly funny!

its not a fruity guitar man, some guitars suit outlandish colours! of course you know steve vai? the majority of his guitars are what you would refer to as fruity, but they are still among the best guitars in the world!

[RENDUI]

@sunnyjim98 ACTUALLY I DO AGREE HIS GUITARS ARE COOL...BUT NOT THIS GUY'S GUITAR. IT'S JUST PLAIN FRUITY.

This is perhaps the nerdiest French guy in existence. Amazing playing, but could you possible find an uglier guitar? I will stick to slapping the bass, but this really cool.

[GuitarELdominator]

[MattKondrath]

wtf the slap stuff sounds good but when he tries to play like single notes... at the end it sounds terrible lol

[TheKobybryant24]

OMG 1.12 !! so funny face !

[MrTimotheeGuitar]

(...) it can be played with 2 fingers, for a fifth for instance. With 3 fingers, we add the octave. Then you can have fun with this with fourth chords for example, harmonizing on the D, G, B and E strings. Then, it's up to you to find combinations by putting in between hamer ons and pull offs.

Here's a very simple example with the four notes.

(...) Yet now you can show off on the beach !

[MrTimotheeGuitar]

Hello my friends. In order to play a good slap you need a good thumb, if possible the right one for the right-handed, le left one for the left-handed.

Actually it is exactly the same thing as for the bass players. Which means we'll have two thumb sounds, a note, and a dead note,; we'll mute the sound with the left hand. We'll have between these two the bounce with the left hand.

Here are the three basic sounds. Then, we'll have the return played with 1,2,3 or 4 fingers.

If I play it with 1finger

[TheHornet79]

His guitar looks like a toy but its actually $3,000 dollar guitar.

Vigier are friggin insane.

[DarkRattlehead]

"Si possible le gauche pour les gauchers et le droit pour les droitiers" XD
