[@camaleon9326]

Omg finally some clear lessons straight to the point no annoying talking no showing off thank you!

[@tortoiseyeeter7232]

you're a great teacher, thanks for helping me even if I wasn't a great student. 2 years ago, from posting this comment.

[@snakes5506]

Just what I was looking for, very basic and slow 🤦‍♂️ I hate other KZbinrs that go to fast and is hard to get what they're doing, like I'm some expert or something..... you do a great job sir thanks !

[@shagthe]

Thank you!

[@ptat_chipkawaii107]

Let me tell you. This is the first time I see a great ticher to show how to teach slap.,.,thank you very much

[@shagthe]

Thank you!

[@MaxxVelocity]

So if I'm following correctly, a lot of the percussive beats we hear in fast slap/pop lines are actually muted strings and not sounded notes. This is probably the single most helpful video on slapping I've seen in my life. Much thanks.

[@shagthe]

You are correct. And thank you very much!

[@NegreirosLucas]

Agreed, really useful video!

[@renderu1706]

Finally! A straight to the point lesson with good angle.

[@larylhuntington5398]

This is cool. This is what I needed. Been playing bass for years but always wanted to get into slap and pop and funk. Lessons need to be done like this so the students can keep up. Great work.

[@prayzmanone]

FINALLY !!! A lesson that makes since with great angles. Your explanations were spot on, this TECHNIQUE has been bothering me and others take 5 min talking about themselves or a product. So dang on aggravating. This was cool

[@shagthe]

Thanks for the kind words.

[@nchumtsanglao7696]

What bass slap riff can I play with this pattern.. please suggest me

[@avisekdatta]

SALUTE YOU : D WAY YOU DEMONSTRATED

[@shagthe]

Thank you!

[@RalloStyles]

When I get good at playing bass, Is it ok if I name a song "Speed it up slowly..."?

[@deldia]

The whole of slap bass in 1 lesson.

[@shagthe]

51% anyway :)

[@hancyber]

Thanks good and awesome lesson btw is it normal if I look at your hair most of the vid time? Really like cotton candy.

[@shagthe]

Thanks. I keep it short now :)

[@deadbeatproz]

Funky.

[@shagthe]

We try :)

[@manouel8746]

Really great ! It sounds like Lee Claypool playing , Is it the case ?

[@shagthe]

We both slap but I’m my own man. If we sound alike it is pure coincidence.

[@dylantaylor3998]

What are you playing through? Very nice tone.

[@shagthe]

Ironically, gear is not my strong point. It's a Warmoth bass, I THINK emg pickups, I THINK an Aguilar pre-amp inside, and as I recall a mix of a direct line into protools, and a room mic. I believe I'm playing through a Hartke kickback 112. It's an old video, and I have a guy who takes my bass away to Santy Claus' workshop and brings it back periodically tricked out.

[@catherinen.6394]

I'm getting so frustrated and ready to quit.. I try to slap open E, but it sounds as if I'm playing it mute. It's way worse for the rest of the strings :( My hand motion is supposedly right, what could i be doing wrong?? 😢

[@shagthe]

Strike it like you’re trying to smack a fly that’s on a fragile glass. Stun the fly but don’t break the glass. Bounce off it. I’ll try n post a vid about it tomorrow.

[@Slimboyfat1979]

I am jealous of your hair

[@shagthe]

It’s all gone now.

[@yeremiwilliamsfloracosta5802]

Jonh deacon

[@dylanespinosa6779]

Can you only do this on the E and G string

[@shagthe]

Well, unless it’s a five string. The E string is just convenient and low. Try it in other keys and make small adjustments to accommodate. I’ll try n post a vid about it this weekend.
