👉 My full beginner bass course: yeah.bassbuzz.com/10slap
Learning slap bass is a long lonely road… here’s 10 songs that taught me how to slap, and how you can level up YOUR slap bass game.
All the metal bass tabs + sheet music - www.noteflight.com/scores/vie...
When I started playing bass at age 13, nothing seemed cooler than slap bass. But frankly I sucked at it… for kind of a long time. That’s why all these slap bass lines were so crucial to get my technique to the next level.
Which slap lines, you ask? Well you’ll have to watch the video, you saucy reader of descriptions. You’ll learn things like:
- The easy formula Stuart Zender (and everyone else) uses for funky slap
- That yes, Flea bass lines will appear in almost every slap bass lesson ever
- A trick Les Claypool of @officialprimus uses to sound more melodic
- Who the grandfather of slap bass is
- How impossible it is to slap the bass too hard (thanks Louis Johnson)
- Nate Phillips sexy thumb-fingers hybrid technique
- @MarcusMiller1 slaps amazingly and once wore parachute pants
- Stupid-sounding-but-fantastic advice from Mark King about slapping fast
- @squarepushermusic is not a human and he slaps too fast
- How @victorwooten re-revolutionized slap bass

Did I miss your favorite bassist? Let me know with a VERY ANGRY COMMENT in this thread please. 👿

@SethPlaysBass Год назад

Idk the name of the bassist but there's this old Japanese futurepop song called Merry Go Round by Tatsuro Yamashita with a dope bassline

@danijelilaurajagodic4770 Год назад

Hi Josh, have to say at first that i love your channel and have learned a lot from you and thank you for that.😊 Now….i discovered recently Tesseract and Amos Williams, what i love especially id their song King, i just adore how he is playing there, it’s not some super fast but super smooth technique. You should really show us how to learn this kind of slapping easier.😅

@haydengomez8752 Год назад

Clay Gober is my favorite bassist right now. His work on nasty, crush, ego death, drown, death note, goat as well as his solo on antecedent are amazing and show his incredible use of negative space and ghost notes

Yeah, after all the slick & sick basslines that Zender did, that's the one everybody remembers. It's like there's nothing to listen to but His (friggin') awesome tone!

@@JamesDavisakaRemguy Randy Hope-Taylor's bassline he did for Jamiroquai ( Don't Give Hate a Chance ) is my favourite , he did Tallulah too , and another one i forget, he would have been perfect as a perm' member. He also did work for Incognito too. Zender did some work for Incognito also

@lionchapterpirot Год назад

Some of my favourites on your list there, started my bass journey in the late 80's, really great to see classic mark king on your list too, massive inspiration for me growing up, ironically I didn't live far from the squarepusher, he was and always will be one of the most influential and phenomenal musicians out there, used to watch him play my favourite tracks on an old ibanez roadstar two bass and just be in awe, sitting opposite and asking him to teach me how to play it, such a legend and its a real privilege to see he's done well, cool channel, great getting back in to the bass again, and your one hell of a player yourself. Keep up the great work

@dbregman85 Год назад

Thank you for paying homage to the modern greats and older legends. I took a slap bass lab at Berklee, and while Marcus Miller, Larry Graham, and brothers Johnson etc were revered, newer players like Flea and Les Claypool were completely overlooked as slap bassists which bothered me because they are who inspired me to start playing bass and learning slap in the first place! That being said it was a great experience and I was lucky enough to meet Victor Wooten and take a bass lab with him, which was hugely beneficial. Anyways I appreciate seeing new and old influences given their respect, you da man Josh. Btw I wish I could hear you play the rest of the Awakening where it gets extra fast lol. That song is super difficult for me and I’ve been practicing it on and off for over a year

Come on my selector (and Squarepusher in general) is probably one of the bigger reasons I've wanted to get into playing bass throughout the years. It's sick to see him get some recognition from the channel that finally convinced me to buy one and start practicing. Being a huge DnB/IDM nerd, alongside a lot of the bands featured here frequently, it's awesome to see those worlds collide, lol.

Return of the Dream Canteen has touched ground and Flea's sound is so good. You can hear a lot of his signature motifs, but there's some new sounds happening in the mix and he's never sounded better. UL was an amazing album for those who didn't have unrealistic expectations comparing it to past albums and nostalgia, which is never a fair comparison. ROTDC is equal and even better than UL IMO. Both are as good as any of their previous albums and we are blessed to have these gems in this day and age of general trash music.

@cotopaximusic Год назад

Definitely agree, really enjoyed UL but I feel ROTDC was more consistent. The songs I love on UL I really love, however for me it has the most songs I skip since their first record. ROTD is just banger after banger after banger

I like that you respond to peoples' comments so frequently and genuinely, given how many comments you get. Pretty cool!

I love how indepth you are on holding a bass and working the board. I just started playing and I beat my hands up at work so I they ache after work when I play. Unless I get a buzz
