(Music-Bass) Slap Technique - Victor Wooten Style

He's my first instructional bass video. Here I talk about the down-up-pluck technique which I learned from a Victor Wooten instructional video.

Here's a video of Vic explaining the concept:

@keygun85 Glad to help. Fieldy's got a pretty cool and different technique of slapping. No doubt you've seen some of his lesson videos (e.g. ?v=P0Z2T9RSZ9Q). His stuff is pretty bad ass, especially when it's fast. His hand position is kinda like flea (e.g. ?v=En1U1P9di64). There's so many ways to slap a bass.

@aidaneducation LOL some of those thumbs are sick, anyway I dont have one so I stick to my tech after the blister is gone I hope the skins get used to it. I was making great progress thanks again you should make more videos cheers

[aidaneducation]

@Piliskner Oh man, when I first started I would get blisters constantly. Eventually, calluses grew and I no longer get blisters. Sorta the same deal as we went through for our fretting fingers.

I pluck at the left side of the thumb joint, probably where you're plucking. Some bassists have bendy thumbs (youtube search "bendy thumb" and you'll know what I mean). These guys seem to be able to pull up with the tip of their thumb. It's all about finding what works for you.

@aidaneducation Hey dude could you please give me a little hint where exactly is the place on your thumb you pull the string up with ? Because I started yesterday and I am pulling the string with part of my thumb exactly in the middle of my joint and I already gone through one huge blister so I had to stop for a while.
