I teach guitar lessons and they videotape the lesson. Here I am simplifying a slap and pop technique. ***Sorry for the poor vid quality, it's a student recording on a cell phone. I hope it is helpful to anyone trying to get the basic gist of this style.
Thanks for watching. -Corey Bates www.batesmusicinstruction.com

  • the video is out of sync from the audio, makes it a bit hard to learn from

    I don't know if that is how you uploaded it it if myplayer is messed up

  • No, it's not your player. I need to post a better video...it's from my cellphone.

  • Interesting. One of the problems I'm having is slapping notes cleanly when it's strings other than the low E I'm aiming to hit. I don't know if it's the size of my thumb or what (I have regularly sized hands though). Any tips?

  • After I read your comment, I grabbed my guitar and observed what my fingers were doing when slapping the other strings. I noticed that I align my thumb with the string I am slapping (as opposed to having it perpendicular to the string; as when I'm slapping the low E).

    Let me know if this helps =)
