I've been playing for nearly 40 years and I STILL learn something new everytime i watch Daric. The minute you stop learning, you stop improving! This man is not only a master bassist, but a pretty thorough educator!! And it's clearly no secret he loves what he does. No matter your style, keep learning. Continual learning leads to continual earning!
I actually just got inspired to try out this new technique by one of my favorite gospel bassist Thaddeus Johnson who uses it all the time. I went searching through RU-vid for the right tutorial to get me started and this is the one. Liked, added to favorites, and subscribed my friend. 👍
Man! All the way from Brazil! You're really and awesome professor! I'm improving so much because of your lessons! As soon as I have the money I'm planning to join Bass nation! Thank you so much!
I just found your channel, and I am glad I did. Great job breaking down this technique. I'm a rock/metal bassist, but I love hip hop and funk and I try to bring that influence over to rock music. Slap funk hip metal hop bass. Thanks for your videos man. I have much to learn from you sir.
You are a very creative musician. Very good, very good, very good. I'm from Brazil, and we have great bass players, but I like music, so where there's a brother who does real music, I'll listen to him. Congratulations!
You are awesome, brothaman! Learnin' so much, I'm so expired, and I can't wait to get home and try this and everything else I've been pickin' up off your channel. 💪🎸🙏🕉🖤
it took me years to get to a level on this technique with is much slower than what it is on the video. Still, the time you invest on this technique is good invested, it gives a unique sound and feel. For me it is better than the classic pop-slap
I truly don't know why I'm having such a hard time with this technique! Thanks for the lesson! I've never had such a hard time learning a musical technique, ever .. Hey, your pic just whizzed past me!!
Great videos...!!...do you have one for setting up your bass for slappin' ??....have not found it if you have one....if not, it would be a great addition to your fabulous collection!
I always have incredibly short nails, prone to picking and biting them. Guess I'm gonna have to resist the temptation with my right thumb if I want to get this technique down
As a novice I am getting a TON of unintended harmonics by hanging out on the 5th fret. Any suggestions on how to eliminate that? (Been doing these exercises on the 10th fret until I get them clean)
Hey, Just one question When i slap my thumb i usually above the last few frets, and when i move my thumb a little towards the bridge to incorporate the upstroke, the bounce that i get usually from my downstroke reduces. How do i not let that happen. great lesson by the way.
