Nice to see women giving tips and lessons. Going to try and watch everything. Keep going. Don't stop.

[@grooves.x]

After playing bass for over 20 years I still crack up when any reference is made to the G string 😂

[@matthewnations1564]

I subscribed because of the thumbnail alone. The hair, the bass… definitely subscribed. Great bass talk too lol.

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

Playing bass guitar and guitar for 57 years this Saturday. I just now found this video and you made me fall in love with you at 7:50 when you said, “...if it’s frustrating to you, leave your guitar, come back the next day and try again.” Yes, it’s great advice, but that’s not the part I’m focused on, which is a bit trivial compared to the advice itself, but it’s something a *LOT* of bass guitar players complex over, which is *admitting that the bass guitar IS a guitar!” It’s always great to see the younger folks keeping it real, *THANK YOU!!*

[@alanjones7032]

you said: ""you made me fall in love with you at 7:50" I fell in love with hjer 1st time I saw her. She is easy on my eyes!

[@jameschristian8117]

Wow i wish i had come across ur chanel before ,, i have watch alot of slap bass player but by far u have to be the best instructor out there... great job , u make a great instructor... 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@kjchicago1]

You’re the queen of the slap bass and this is a learning bass guitar experience

[@michaeleastes1705]

As a 69 year old novice bass player, I’m finding these videos very helpful.

[@manuellagotorrealba]

I could say freely, respectfully, "Ooh baby I love your way" the way You teach us. I am a beginner and enjoy your recommendations "nights and days"

[@vonpilcher3900]

Nice bass. Love the Sadowsky

[@civilian75]

Yonit, you are gifted bassist and teacher. So simple, straight forward and effective. I don't do slap often, not the kind of music I play, but, just it is a tool in my tool box. I always had problems with shoulder pain when I slap. Watching the video helped me realize my posture issue which I will be correcting.

[@guitarstringman7403]

Hey, that's my bass! It looks and sounds just like it. Sadowsky basses are the best! You play very well....

[@mamaj4002]

I've been trying to approach slap for a while but it's been difficult. You've been the most helpful with explaining and teaching slap. Thank you so much!🤘🎸🎶

[@jazzybluesyyoo6914]

A nice and reliable teacher. thanks from south korea .

[@johnhensley6808]

Excellent teaching, it's given quite a lot of trade secrets to us wanna b's, guitar player in transition, this is extremely helpful and given lots to work with..much appreciated..

[@axemansjazz6670]

Wow, this is incredibly straight-forward and to-the-point. I've played slap for years and I even picked up some pointers!

[@ronaldmillner6387]

You are really a fantastic bassist and teacher. You explain things in a way that you can understand. I have to sign up

[@YonitSpiegelman]

Thanks Roland! Hope to see you at the workshop soon! I've just corrected the sign-up link :) yonitspiegelman.as.me/improvisebass

[@strummingmelodies]

Its very encouraging and uplifting.

[@83zeck]

Thank you so much for teaching straight to the point. You are a fantastic bass player. I am your fan! I love listening to your band/project Foreign Hues as well. Thank you for sharing all of this with us. Greetings from Brazil

[@redpillanimations]

Thank you for the lessons your are not the only channel I watch I watch other to learn but you deftly break it down for us 2 year old minds thank you soooo Much. 🙏

[@blackpeabass]

Good point that you suggest taking your time. I think it takes a while to build endurance for slap. Breaks help...cool video😎

[@rmbryan9863]

Great instructional video Yonit!

[@paulabraham6510]

God bless you real good. You blessed my bass guitar life

[@Moxy770]

Thanx-Ever so much for doing these Lessons!..I can see where ive been doing-it way-wrong..You Rock !!..Thanx!!

[@gloomiehoodie]

Awesome video Yonit! A little tip to you as a pay back. Your humidifier right on top of your keyboard/electronic piano will slowly cause damage to it.

[@randy4ii411]

Very good session, thank you Yonit.

[@MoisesVallejoAranda]

I'm starting with the bass, and slap is one of the things that is most difficult for me (and my classmates). I will follow your advice, thank you!

[@RockDocNeal]

I also find that practicing on the G string is helpful. 😂😁

[@wapudblues]

I don’t play bass but I find this intriguing. I play blues guitar. However, the blues guitarist Albert Collins has used these techniques throughout his whole career. He developed his style out of necessity because he was without a bass player. I appreciate this video very much. Makes me want to purchase a bass. Blues guitar is my main instrument but I do have other instruments that I play around with. I’m not good at these other instruments but gives me time to practice with them to familiarized myself with them. Many musicians have their main squeeze but have other instruments that they tinker with to give them that feel and sound they are looking for.

[@erwinniemand7239]

Thank you for letting the little secrets out! It helped a lot...!!!

Just what I needed! You are a superb teacher. Thank you!

[@robertjohnson4555]

Your videos are always so helpful!!! I’ve only been playing since December, and anytime I wanna be overwhelmed, but also learn a lot, I tune in.

[@kysersoze8566]

Your Sadowsky is awesome.

[@larryhall2805]

Good instruction. When I learned this technique I found the right hand feel was similar to dribbling a basketball or hitting a speed bag.

[@christianclausen9969]

Thanks! this is the clearest explanation I've found so far for slap bass.

[@notpopebuthope]

Hey, great! ... BUT ... there are a few questions left ... a) Depending on scale length of the instrument - WHERE should thumb hit the string (22nd fret? 24th fret? end of fretboard?) ... b) WHICH pick-up should be used? (Bridge or Neck PU or both?) ... c) WHICH kind of bass should be used? (ash body/maple neck? or alder body/rosewood neck? ... ) ... d) long scale bass or short scale bass? ... Greetings and best wishes from Europe/Austria!

[@SDRockman]

Just slap it. Like I do every night.

If I watched this before going to my first 3minutes slap gig, my thumb & index will be saved from that huge blisters i got 😆

[@brendonfox699]

I enjoy your videos Yonit. I practiced the slap, pop, and hammer-on you demonstrated here. The only thing missing was how you mute your G string after you pop it. I watched and re-watched your technique, but I could not see what you did. I think you mute it with the same finger you popped it with, but a demonstration or explanation would be helpful.
