Well, it's me again with some more 6-string stuff... this ones a bit rough (particuarly that last chord.... eek!) but I uploaded it anyway. Actually I don't think anyone watches this, so no worries. The general idea is good!

  • Excellent m8 ive got the same bass and the four string version fretless jus wondering is it harder to play six string slap style than it is on a four string? Or no difference? nice dreads n sideys btw :0)

  • Yeah, much harder I'm afraid to say. Six strings in general, when you first pick them up it's like "whaaaaaaaat where's all my ability gone?!"... I basically had to relearn my slap technique... it takes a lot of getting used to. But it's really rewarding when your get it!

  • Awesome! This is the stuff! So this is the mystical Wooten-like technique you described to me?

  • No it isn't actually... it's just slapping chords. I've got another video on the way, then you'll see.

  • nice man, gotta say im in awe and i want ur bass, what make is it?

  • It's a Cort Artisan A6... if you're interested, the amp is an Ashdown electric blue 180W

  • Hey, this is some kickass stuff, keep it up.

    I myself play classical guitar. So hopefully I can appreciate the work you put into this.

  • Cool track! What chord progression is that (for the beginning of the slap part)?

  • keep practicing

  • show off... lol

  • good job! Strong clean sound!

  • Wow, amazing! Just clean that one upp a tad and you are the new Stu Hamm! Where can I get your CD in the future?

  • from how can you find 6 string bass tapping or hammeron tabs ?

    I use a HArley Benton 6 string bass there are well good too...

  • double thumb technique on six strings tho i find to be a lil easier

  • Yes it's tighter to play. I always have a six and four string on stage; they give very different feels and sounds.

  • Hey Jamie, Very cool. Glad I taught you so well at JUST FOR FUn MUSIC!!! Do excuse the plug. Honestly, it's really great to see that video; you look like a proper proffesional typed dude.
