How To Get A Great Slap Bass Thumb Sound

Hey Groove Masters,

Let’s talk slap.

Marcus, Victor, Louis, Mark King… these guys all have one thing in common – a thunderous right hand.

In this lesson I’m going to take you back to the turn of the century (or early 2000s!) and share a concept my teacher drilled into me hard.

It's the back bone of taking the slap style out of the music store, into the gig and getting it super groovy.

In this video you'll discover:

  • How to get a great slap sound
  • The bit that often gets forgotten
  • Core concepts to build your thunder thumbs

As always, keep groovin' hard...

James
