  • First of all, thank you so much for posting these lessons. My skills on the bass have improved drastically since I found your videos. I have a question for you regarding the slap technique, and I hope you can help me out here.. how do you mute the lower strings when you're playing legato patterns like in this video here? I'm getting all these unwanted sounds when i'm playing the minor licks on the higher strings.. do you use the wrist/forearm?

  • @bananku Yes, wrist/forearm AND often left hand fingers as well

  • @g4geetar I think you may have misheard him. Em pentatonic is E, G, A, B, D ..... the final E is just the octave and as such isn't considered one of the five notes of the scale. Hope that clears up the confusion.

  • soooo amazing! : o

  • I don't get it. you said it was in Eminor pentatonic which consists of 5 notes: E,G,A,B,E and then you play a D in the riff?

  • daaaanish

  • das funky ya!

  • for a second i thought i was watching seinfeld.
