The MOST USEFUL slap bass pattern 🤘😻

[@HonchoHundo]

Now add muted slaps in between at break neck speeds

[@massive_bass_nerd]

Very true 🤘😹

[@Lightningspiner]

I love learning new slap patterns. You don't even need a bass for practicing, I just used my leg to learn it while sitting in university 😂

[@user-ku9xx1gw3v]

True bassists play on legs, mad respect for you, sir

[@soohyunkim7403]

Lol same sometimes I use my desk in class

[@Toxoplasmosis679]

SAME

[@BarrettJamesMusic]

I find myself playing the air bass on my chest. The legs are for drumming.

[@theppstealer6209]

Davie504 would be proud

[@massive_bass_nerd]

Love Davie 🤘😻

[@seshimct]

jelous?

[@nickolasanderson8133]

No he would not, he would be unimpressed.

[@gigagoatt]

Lots of people can play but deconstructing a pattern in music, or deconstruction of any skill for that matter, to me is magic!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@massive_bass_nerd]

In my mind, just about everything that looks super hard has some kind of a trick behind it if you can just understand the concept. Just about anything feels fairly comfortable if the player is playing a line smoothly 🤘😻

[@gigagoatt]

@@massive_bass_nerd I agree wholeheartedly but not everyone has the gift of reverse-engineering a thing to the point of making it explainable; some people have no-clue why they’re good at something, and usually that’s “natural-talent”. While I’ve been accused of being naturally talented, I was bullied a lot but wasn’t one to cry, I’d go home and break it down then teach it to others!! CHEERS!! 🥃🫵

[@irohsaim]

goodbye angels can't stop dark necessities stone cold bush get up and jump aeroplane nobody weird like me blackeyed blonde skinny sweaty man this video is kinda true, those are some basslines are my personal favorite with almost the same rhythm

[@massive_bass_nerd]

Absolutely! Obviously there’s a lot more to his playing (especially with more recent RHCP material), but overall it’s a really common Flea pattern that absolutely rocks 🤘😻

[@larrypayton2314]

You are right on the,money

[@BedolLiGMA]

Afterlife

[@mehdiman60]

It's my Aeroplane ❤

[@polygonalmasonary]

This is one of the most useful slap bass videos I’ve seen because you show and explain the rhythm in addition to the technique, awsome 🙏♥️🇬🇧🌈

[@coleburns362]

Slap and pop the same string, and do a T---T-P-T---T---T-P-T.. rhythm. Add bends and you have my favorite way to play Bleed.

[@Jaggerbush]

That bass sounds great

[@michaelcorreira8125]

Practice Practice Practice! Another Practice must, is a Metronome or Click-Track or a Drummer with Good Tempo. This great for every musician.

[@timgreen6807]

Bass is one of my favorite instruments.

[@DevunWalsh]

That bass line is hard

[@MrAflac_1]

That’s more of a beginner bass line tbh

[@jhgust]

Yep, Flea is pretty simple.

[@Darus2013]

SLAP THAT BASS

[@MontyRoyal963]

Its surved me well

[@uwalakab]

Very good. It's practice time for me..... Cheers for this.

[@ROckgrunge2987]

there's no muted thumb? it's only a slap then pluck? if that so, I love it! it's easy for me 😆 I'm just beginner, it's difficult to have a muted slap but I want learn it also, Am I right is it only a thumb, thumb, pluck, thumb, pluck, thumb? no muted thumb?

[@shaimonsonza3808]

[@bangalyfodediabate2642]

[@duanemiller567]

"keep it FUNKY"!

[@tomjoad1363]

Can you post a 3-4 minutes of this baseline on YT or Spotify? That would enlight my day when communitg hearing that.

[@gilbertquintanilla5284]

Good Man !

[@amrgamal9531]

Nice sound

[@peterbornschein_bass]

[@pool_deck5241]

You can also play Take the Power Back by RATM

[@WildWildWeasel]

I need that backing track in my life, as someone who owns a J-J configuration bass

[@divinejourneymusic]

Nice!

[@adedolapo_louis]

Slap like now for more.

[@massive_bass_nerd]

You know the drill 🤘😼

[@Samuelon552]

That tone was so heavy 😳

[@Jay838.]

Follow through with the slap. Don’t bounce off the string.

[@adamnesbitt11]

Personal preference.

[@SongwritingJoe]

Gotta get that left hand drumming too 🎉

[@larrypayton2314]

Thanks this so awesome,😂😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@marvinsturgill985]

[@computerpro3779]

Ох клёво😊

[@basspee]

Thanks for sharing

[@zoboshim8656]

thx

[@richardj8853]

That sounded like the bass pattern for one of the songs from rhcp - one hot minute

[@Christopher-yl6cn]

Brilliant

[@PIZZAdayisback]

Does Korn have any song with this pattern?

[@aaronmurrell3190]

OK....a little help with what he said when he said......If you learn that you can play almost any "What" kinda bassline?

[@massive_bass_nerd]

Any kind of “Flea” bassline! He’s the bassist of Red Hot Chili Peppers 🤘😻

[@yaminphc1210]

Cool 😎

[@chriss4396]

What song were you playing?

[@HappinessIsAWarmGun]

Aeroplane 🥰🥰

[@kylechristian7232]

Yeah and while your At it THANK LARRY GRAHAM WHO STARTED THAT WHOLE APPROACH

[@MOAB-UT]

Very nice. I play guitar- want to try base. Do you or anyone recommend 4 or 5 string? The 5 string at GC seems to have a nicer, deeper tone that I attribute to epic base but I heard 4 gets you access to more playable, common notes/patterns.

[@DredgenDaddyDank]

You'd probably be fine with either, but I always recommend starting with 4. You can always get a 5-string later. I ended up getting the 5-string version of my 4-string. Still play both.

[@dante.dorago_]

Checkmate

[@MrFerret4137]

thumb, thumb, pluck, thumb, pluck, thumb

[@Jaggerbush]

The one I could never wrap my head around as a young bass player was You Can Call Me Al bc flips that $hit around - and when I say “as a young bass player” I mean I was taking lessons at the local music store when the song was released- had there been KZbin back then - things would have been easier - I don’t even think my teacher figured it out.

[@wendellguedes5944]

Flea is the king of slap

[@1dayumay548]

hey bro, do you have the tabs for this riff??

[@captbss]

Yeah I keep trying and I aint popping

[@Benjen-gt3dp]

I fell sory for his hands

[@WillZ1401]

Davie504 will be proud

[@catfishcooler1566]

Slap bass... if you get good at it you could theoretically make SEVERAL dollars a year.

[@JoyceyQueen]

slay

[@Peterpumpkineater-ry8on]

Flea

[@scottpeterson2620]

To me that’s why flea isn’t a great bassist, if learning one motion can recreate almost any of his bass lines, that says a lot!

[@adamnesbitt11]

If you can take a simple pattern and make a ton of fantastic songs out of it then you're anything but bad

[@brawlplayerwho]

Flea yaasss

[@massive_bass_nerd]

My hero 🤘😻

[@tocandoenlacalle2024]

I'll pass

[@Hakeemadib]

Learn this from the slap guy davie

[@riokassa1366]

[@kennethross2442]

You are going to put rappers out of work, unemployment will be on the rise with those cool skills.😂😂😂😂
