Slap Bass on a classic! Stevie Wonder “Higher Ground” | Slap Bass Tips

[@carriersignal]

Ghost notes are where it is at for me as a bassist. I've always called it "stuttering" because I didn't know what else to call it. Where the bass is ALWAYS doing something even if it is only a ghost note. Great lesson man!

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Flea from RHCP has played it that way & I tune my Bass down a half step to match the original key

[@karlpeterson1992]

If you would want to make a video of you playing the whole song….how great that would be! Sounds real cool!! 😎

[@caderoland2636]

Sick! I haven’t seen this done on Stevie’s version. Good stuff!

[@frannylicuous5650]

This is such an awesome lesson! Really looking forward to practicing this! Thank u!

best steve line- I was made for loving her

[@nikkikay4188]

Thanks, mate! Helped a lot

[@charlestaylor475]

Definitely "Let The Praise Begin" by Fred Hammond. As a matter of fact, the slap bass on Fred's song is very similar to Stevie's "Higher Ground"! 😎

[@townsound]

I dont think I've ever wanted to learn slap bass until now.

[@MrJmariano79]

I love those ghost notes..

[@terrimac7993]

Hello Daric! Can you show how to play "The Jam" GCS?

[@Zeroverhate]

Right , like this

[@CuteBoyLesh]

"Let the praise begin" would be the song I think you're talking about

[@dr.michaelbennett8597]

Similar to how Flea played it except he did it in E. Playing the low Eb on a five string does not have the clarity as the open E.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

You'd have to tune the Bass Down a half step to Eb Standard to match the Original key

[@nelson19991960]

Would you be referring to "Let the Praise Begin" by Fred Hammomd?

[@bassontopko]

Yes sir!

[@cello4Jesus]

Aha!! Every time I listened to that song I knew the bass line was familiar, but could never put my finger on it. Thanks!

[@troybranch]

With all do ( RESPECT) sir , your ( Thumping)!!!

[@paulblair3313]

Hey, please play is Daric🙏😇

[@moed740]

Yep!!!

[@paulevans4334]

Good stuff

[@alexandermcfarland3513]

Do these slap bass techniques translate on a 5string bass? I feel like the spacing might be different on the strings. Everything I see for learning slap bass tends to be on a 4 string

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

They do & that can be done w/ a Radiused Fretboard 5 stringer

[@quame70]

Thanks

[@jseese5161]

💯🔥🙏🏾

[@gustavoquinteros7559]

bass!

[@ЮРИЙФИЛИППОВ-й6е]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@badboyhotstar]

damn, i'm stuck at 90bpm for now. 123bpm seems far away.

[@badboyhotstar]

welp i can hit 125bpm. now that's progress.

[@joycesanders4898]

..so there's this trumpet player named Flea...

[@michaelpadillasr.8166]

Just a note: People learn by watching too!. There was way too much explanation and not enough actual playing the song.

[@daricsbasslessons]

I’ll add to that note…I’ve done both and get complaints about either way…Can’t please everyone, thanks for the input though
