Another Beginner Slap Bass video: Lesson 1

A basic approach to slap bass playing, using groups of 2, 3 and 4 note patterns. This first video focuses on general L and R hand technique and the basic 4 note pattern that can be used in lots of riffs.

I learned lots of riffs over the years for free--I just thought this might be good way to share some with others.

Enjoy! Hope they help.
