Slap bass lesson - The Chant Has Begun

Here is a tutorial (as requested) for the slap bass line from the Level 42 song 'The Chant has Begun'. This is really fun to play, has a great groove while using drop D tuning. Please subscribe to my channel and feel free to make any requests in the comments below.

Very thankful to learn of the drop D, having owned both true colours and the live album LPs for about 20 years. I was unable to make that connection on my own.

Thanks for another great lesson Davey! This song has always been my nemesis....meaning out of all the MK bass lines, this one has been the hardest for me to learn. Actually, I gave up on it about 15 years ago. I was a lot younger and less patient then I suppose. I've been playing now for 25 years and thanks to you, can finally play this song. Do you know off the top of your head how many songs MK uses a drop D tuning? I can only think of a couple Chant, Physical Presence, and one other one that slips my mind at the moment.
