Stomp Slap Bass Lesson - Part 1

[@RaschellaMurillo]

ahhhh, I wish I have a studio like that. I love the lights, bass guitars in the background. I could only wish for it but hopefully one day.... thanks for the lesson, it's awesum

[@jefffreeman7695]

I love watching this over and over and working through it. So well done, Scott. AND the "It sounds like this" is really great.

[@ScottWhitley]

Thanks Jeff - very much appreciated. :-)

[@dominickjohnson-james88]

Just what I was looking for, loved how you presented this tutorial,

[@ScottWhitley]

Thanks for the feedback - very much appreciated! Also glad the tutorial helped. :) Scott.

[@cheifbeefloco]

The bar 4 workaround is absolutely genius

[@kevmac1230]

OMG if I live 20 more years I might get there! You're a monster like Louis was. Man Bros' Johnson could play.

[@ScottWhitley]

Wow, very kind words indeed...thank you so much Kev and yes, they sure could!! Cheers, Scott.

[@paullowe271]

Glad it helped Paul! 🙂

[@ramon709]

Nice lesson for the intermediate bass players out there. Many bass players that can play well, but not many are good at teaching other players (including myself).

[@ScottWhitley]

Thank you!! :)

[@skippto]

Thanks for your great tutorials Scott. I really enjoy them.. I was doing alright until the 4th bar.

[@ScottWhitley]

My pleasure - thank YOU! Just out of interest, what do you think of the way I'm editing the videos lately compared to the older vids? I'm trying not make them more 'to the point' but without losing the personality I try and keep in. P.S. Let me know how how you get on with that 4th bar... ;)

[@skippto]

@@ScottWhitley The way you are now editing is brilliant, far more to the point. This has actually improved your persona, as you now come across 'very punchy' which really improves your likability & makes for great entertainment. Especially for someone like myself who will rewind & repeat the video again & again. Its now 'bang bang punch'... If that makes sense. As for bar 4. I have chickened out & gone quivering behind the curtains & replaced it for the easier version. However, I will persist with the complicated fingering as it sounds great when you do it... So I'll practice it a little bit here & there. Thank you again for the great Vids.

[@ScottWhitley]

@@skippto Thanks for that feedback - it actually means more than you can imagine! I've been working really hard to achieve the presentation and so to hear this is amazing!! That's the way re the 4th bar - just keep coming back to it. Thanks again! Scott.

Outstanding. Let me grab my bass😁

[@the7tongardengnome]

Shee! I've been playing it wrong all deez years🤣 This other KZbinrs plays it different too but it still sounz great.

[@MJuniversHD]

This lesson seems perfect! I just can't mute slap with my left hand, I guess the learning is postponed...

[@michaelanthony9068]

Liked and subscribed. Now I guess I need to go back in your videos and find a “Basics Of Slap”. My left hand muted slaps sound like noisy garbage. But looking forward to it !!!

[@witterth]

I have a CD you did a long time ago because ( Colin Jones ) gave it to me as a keen up/ slap on the backside. on it you comprehensively and totally accuratley did Mark Kings 1988( ?) live at wembly solo. is there any chance at all you could do an instuctional video of that? ( big ask but would love to know) love your stuff Scott. and follow it loads ( cant belive you depped for me once with Outer Limits!! absolutley blown away ( as were the band) good man Scott

Thanks mate!! I'll add it to the list, and you to the CD draw!! :)

[@bigalacosta]

Thanks for Lesson. Is that Warwick a short scale? Awesome looking and sounding bass.

[@ScottWhitley]

My pleasure! Yes it is a Warwick, Big Al. It's one that's on loan to me - I borrowed it for the Musician tone on this video... :)

[@bigalacosta]

@@ScottWhitley haven't seen many Warwick short scale bass guitars. That must be a custom short scale. Love your lessons. Thanks for your time and effort. 👍👍🍻

[@ikissdoors]

Thanks, hope you can do mr Pink and lo e games from level 42

[@ScottWhitley]

Mr Pink here! 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWfIl4aXpdlgoa8

[@christocr]

Obviously a Warwick and short scale and a version of the Corvette, but which version is that? Is it a custom or is it a production model? Great video; I've always loved this song and solo.

[@ScottWhitley]

Hi Christocr! It's a Warwick FNA Corvette - a pretty old one too. It's on loan to me (I neede something with a MM pickup for that LJ tone). It's actually a long scale but Warwick have historically offered short scale options (never actually owned one). Thanks re the video -.muxch appreciated! Yeah - it's an awesome tune! Keep in touch, Scott.

[@christocr]

Ah, I was hoping it was a new fancier version of the short scale corvette they make. Oh, well. Sounds great!

[@witterth]

Excellent can i Have the CD? ( cheeky bugger I know)

[@luispulido701]

How do yo do the left hand slap without hammering on to the next fret ?

[@山崎勝也-r4r]

カッコイイな！！

[@witterth]

Is that a warrwick the the way?

[@geminirhythmspirit2573]

Scot I'm coming to your place with me drums, we gonna jam some stomp😂❤ ,

[@michaelblaney4461]

Would lighter strings and lower action make this easier , the left hand mute seems to be the hardest bit to do without hitting the strings so they Don't ring out a note...... Signed Slightly confused pick player😊

[@ScottWhitley]

Hi Michael! A low action helps a lot, as do light strings. Before that it's worth checking the nut slots are cut low enough as this makes a HUGE difference - not just for the left hand slap, but for playing in general! :)

[@michaelblaney4461]

Thans I'll try it again with some lighter strings I've got a set of 40-98s around the house, yeah I've had to set nut on a few basses ☺

[@alainbrasseur7083]

"IN MY SHOES" I'm afraid that slap bass is not my cup of tea... :-( But I'd like to watch a slap bass tutorials for guys like me :-)

[@ScottWhitley]

Cheers for the feedback, Alain! So are we saying a different kind of slap lesson might be more in line? Maybe something less furious?

[@alainbrasseur7083]

@@ScottWhitley less furious? absolutely! the slap bass part on the piccolo bass solo of trust in me (y'know that one!!!) : not so furious but very accurate, for instance.
