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

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.

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.
