➡️ Any time I read (or hear) about legendary slap bass players, I always realize that Mark King is on the list, but I've never gone out of my way to look him up. By request, I'm finally checking out Mark and his band Level 42 with a performance of "Mr. Pink" Live At Reading Concert Hall from 2001. I had no idea what to expect, and almost thought it was strictly a solo bass piece. However, that INSTANTLY changed when the band kicked in and it took his crazy bass playing to even higher heights. I'm normally not a fan of "relentless" slap styles like this, but I was really impressed at how musical it sounded when the song started. In this video I break down Mark's slap bass technique, how he achieves so much power (and efficiency), how his tone is perfect for blending in with the drum sound (and why this is important!), how he miraculously gets a "slap" sound when switching to fingerstyle, and much more.
