[LucaRockguitar]

[ruulis]

it can bee damn cool if he plays bass guitar.....

[youhavegeniusshins]

Umm...this is sweet. Are there any worthwhile instructional vids on this style of playing?

[dariocortese]

@youhavegeniusshins Hi there, thanks for your comment. I did a basic video masterclass on this style published with Guitar Techniques magazine. It's impossible to buy the original magazine but I'm selling the whole thing on my website. Check the link in the video description!

[800pieds]

@youhavegeniusshins Christophe Godin also made one, if you understand French.

[buttyface321]

[Dompicker]

[kulturaz]

grandioso !!!!

[theofanis1234]

das gefällt mir=)

5 sterne

[cheopsnet]

Not that melodic to me. There are several ways to translate the cool and groovy effects of slap bass on guitar, but I do not think the faster the better, especially on a 6 string guitar

[OllieKIllickdobeedo]

what choo talking bout man. thats amazing!

[adameld]

doesn't improv mean making up on the spot? If you made this up on the spot, you are my new best friend. whether you like it or not.

[acousticlv]

from seeing many repetitive stuff i am pretty sure thats improv

[djouby45]

de bien belles roulades...

[cacophonybecker]

[SpeedMetalSymphony92]

[Elimac98]

That would be cool if flea and him got together and jammed!

[Pothi11]

Oh indeed :D

[chefboyardee86]

[masibubu]

[00roastedlampost00]

Dario you freak.... your higher diploma guitar lpw class all worship you now. Truly awesome as ever. \m/ \m/

[thearabianmage]

And the APW class, and the Blues class, and the Country class. . . I think just about everyone wants to suck Dario's brains out with a straw in order to acquire his 'AWEsome thechnique'!

[00roastedlampost00]

Hahaha lol damn right ;)

[jfnd777]

naughty

[djcuvcuv112]

DARIO! you are the man! it feels like just yesterday i was in your blues class playin' that albert king and you just started playing that slap guitar and the class that day was officially over haha. I was the whiter of the 2 american kids in the guitar certificate program in autumn of 2007, Chris be my name. keep playing dude, always sounds good, hope your nashville thing worked out. peacee

[lacorrosivo]

[shooshoobob1]

that must be kinda difficult cause a guitars strings are so much thinner than a bass

[Yakuza94400]

[Err0r9E99]

[mcdraycon]

just make the movement a little sharper, if ya know wat i mean, just hit it and pull off quicker

[bberchin]

Sick. I could listen to that kind of stuff forever and never get sick of it. Wow! Great stuff, man. God bless!

[GDT1124]

With how bassy that is you should just buy a fucking bass. Good job though.

[KongoXIIV]

That sounds awesome!

Boy when Regi Wooten slap his guitar it sounds dead and hi pitched but this dude makes it percussive and chordal at the same time.

Awesome. :)

[Nicklikesguitar]

Its the pickups/hollow body and he probably has REALLY heavy gauge strings on.

[exigentrevolution]

Damn dude - cool!

[Foxcover]
