Improve Your Slap Bass OVERNIGHT | Teach Me That

[@Xenious]

Experienced guitarist here who just recently picked up bass. This is one of the most AHA videos I've ever watched. Very much appreciated!

[@reno42wolf]

This has got to be one of the BEST tutorials I've ever seen for a beginner or higher level musician. He breaks the dynamics so calmly, it's magical. Thank you Travis.

[@TravisDykes]

I appreciate the love! Thank you.

[@ryanbell6537]

11:00 BARELY beat you to it. 😂 I was too mesmerized and focused to remember to hit that like button 🤣

[@pdaddy35]

Love the playing and classes. I just picked up the bass guitar as a 50 year old and you are the first person I subscribed to. Keep doing it.

[@TravisDykes]

I'm honored. Welcome to the family!

[@marklowe7431]

[@codiaq]

That's the clearest explanation on how to slap/pop/mute the bass ever. Thank you very much, Travis, and greetings from Germany 😎.

[@kevmac1230]

Excellent lesson.I've been playing for over forty years but I suck at slap.This actually helped! Thanks 👍

[@guilmarquess]

It's good to see someone teaching slaps in a 5 string, I'm learning now and I'm having a hard time striking the strings precisely and muting that B string

[@tonygarcia6752]

This video is lit. I’m gonna use these tips to improve my own slap bass improvisations. The possibilities are endless

[@BobJones-bh9qz]

This is amazing, can’t believe it’s free

[@AndyVanBass]

Awesome! I've slapped for 20+ years & never heard a teacher/lesson state Doubles, Triples, 3rds & 5ths like that. 🙏

[@TheophanKonstantinov]

Thank you so much, Travis! This was a huge eye-opener for me! Such a cool and fun approach!

[@jeffevangelho9909]

Great video! That really simplifies the process of getting started with slapping technique. As a beginner trying to become an intermediate, I really appreciate that.

[@michaelbonanno7476]

Thank you Travis! I’m sure that your videos are helping more than just my bass playing. Bass is the glue in every band! So whole bands are sounding better!

[@BroJona]

Good stuff man!! That 6 minute mark sounded like the opening bass line for Grease. 🤣😂

[@building436]

Thank You so much man!!

[@LloydMajor]

Thanks for the class Travis!

[@kudosbudo]

2:59 yes thats it but doens't get across just how hard it is to be that precise haha, especailly if you are heavy handed like me with it. Must be subtle!

[@bhoneaparicio-dauntlessnes6916]

[@edgargarcia8866]

This video is just too good 🔥

[@OswaldBatesIIIEsq]

That bass is just too nice. Kind of makes me miss my five-string jazz bass.

[@BigSwoleMusick]

Great lesson man… l learned something

[@daveyJ213]

What I don't understand is how to eliminate the fret buzz after you play a note and your fingering hand is leaving the fret board. When I play I always hear buzz as I am lifting away to mute the string. Is there a way to control that split second of fret buzz?

[@musikomago8120]

Learned so much!! Thanks for this!!!

[@benmatlaun3785]

Awesome. Thank you.

[@EJ-strings]

I really enjoyed the lesson, pls I need a sound card can u help pls thank u

[@DeuceSimmonsOfficial]

Helped me a lot, thank U very much 😎

[@hilichurl8169]

Thumbnail: What pros won't tell you Me: You just told us how it's done and I think your the father of "pros" P.S thank you so much it's been a week and I'm progressing much better ❤️

[@beatrocka5]

I love seeing slap on a five string! Nice!

[@bcaz84]

Thankyou my man

[@morethanaveragejoe8224]

Awesome lesson, as always!!!

[@rmccain99]

Some Dunlop Ultra brights might sound really good on that.

[@TravisDykes]

Yeah, I'm totally down to try those!

[@javierjuarez4127]

Your bass pedal link does not work, and I would like to know what you use. Excellent video, a lot to learn, keep it up man, you are an amazing muscician!

[@SomeAnyBody]

Nice grooves and great explanation but are those actually triplets or rather a three note phrase using 16th notes in that rhythm?

[@d.l.loonabide9981]

He's playing three 16th notes, not triplet rhythms.

[@SomeAnyBody]

@@d.l.loonabide9981 that’s what I thought. He should use double and triple instead of “triplet” to avoid any confusion. Thanks.

[@d.l.loonabide9981]

His tutorial is very good apart from that.

[@kofimpaa]

I hope this video changes my unable to slap

[@Glockenstein0869]

Your style and technique would pair so well with a Musicman Stingray 5, Pedulla MVP5, or a vintage Tobias Basic 5.

[@eknight101]

Yeah, I don't know how I feel about the sound of those Bass Mods...They sound too sterile to my ears 🤔

[@boxdenfresh]

Thanks

[@gwm2010]

How do I get your outro Jam Travis ¿!!

[@AyoDatsHarp]

@7:38 sounds like chris brown “Fine China”

[@Dimas5]

I was listening to videos while mowing the lawn and it sounded like Michelangelo from TMNT was teaching bass haha

[@davidmiller6076]

Hey Travis! I need some advice on Handicap my plucking hand.. I can’t feel the strings Bossman??!!🤔

[@MoistMusic]

A ghost note on the Guitar is when you press the note down but don't hit the string

[@mrcyrilfiggus]

Haha Horace Trahan. i think that sounds like the beginning of the song from grease . your the one that i want . lol

[@goodfella1605]

Amazing job with this tutorial! Thanks, it helped me a lot.

[@mrbungle7586]

Not ground breaking but probably helps others who aren't aware of ghost notes. Most would advise using at least 3 fingers to mute than using 1 as you here harmonics or partial harmonics ring out.

[@TravisDykes]

I agree. You want to use single finger mutes very seldom because they do cause those harmonics to ring out. Thank you for that!

[@heavenly2k]

Honestly I'd really love to see these techniques be used more in metal music. They lend themselves so well to it but only math and djent bands have figured that out lol

[@KT-on9st]

hi what brand is this bass?

[@EdodeRoo]

Did Juna Serita start like that too?

[@mastermontgomery9839]

Has that particular Bass (you are playing in this video ) been set up yet or were your D and G strings just out of tune ?

[@jeanemmanuel5092]

Wahou 😭 thanks 🙏

[@illbiskits]

I definitely need to practice muting more. My Ibanez rings a lot!

[@axulcatzulyt]

Too much infos! But loving it bro! Keep it coming!

[@chaplinj6512]

New sub

[@baldbassclef]

what make and model is that beautiful bass you’re playing?!

[@TravisDykes]

Bass Mods K534!

[@ericdasilva2948]

What I struggle with is plucking the actual string I mean to pluck. And plucking it cleanly, without it being too soft

[@pdaddy35]

@travis what brand name bass guitar is that? She is beautiful!!

[@TravisDykes]

Its a Bass Mods K534

[@pdaddy35]

@@TravisDykes nice. I like your playing. I am just starting to learn how to play the bass.
