Slap bass is new to me as a bass player and as I have only been playing the bass for about two month now I have decided to give this new technique a try.
I have heard a countless number of funk bands play this style even thought I was unaware the style was called slapping and popping they all seem to play it with ease, but is this really the case. Do you think it took them years to master or just weeks? As I have never tried slap bass I can honestly say I have no idea how long it will take me to get this slapping down, all I do know is that I am not going to give up until I have figured out how it is done.
I am not sure how many different ways there are to slap but like everything I am going to find the easiest for me and keep at it.
I am going to give my sell 2 month at practicing everyday and set my self a goal. My goal will be to have the technique to a reasonable standard at the end of this time period. I am going to continue using the site how to play bass and try their method on slap bass, successful or not.
With one of my favorite bands being Red Hot Chili Peppers I will be influenced widely by their bassist who is named Flea. A lot of their stuff is slap style or so I am told. As I am new to bass playing I wasn’t aware that the band actually used slapping.
