If you are a beginner who is looking for a guide on playing slap bass, this is the course for you.

Slap bass is the technique we use for making our bass shine through the mix and maybe solo with a rhythmical sense. Larry Graham first invented the technique for mimicking the bass drum and the snare drum with slaps and pops. Over the years, bass pioneers like Stanley Clarke, Louis Johnson Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten pioneered the technique and it became a fundamental technique every bass player needs to master.

The course starts from the basics and teaches you fundamental techniques you need for playing slap bass. We start from the basic body posture, left and right hand techniques and start advancing to more challenging techniques.

Every subject is explained in detail with exercises and licks for you to practice. Licks also have backing tracks to accompany you, so you can use what you have learned in context. Those licks are related to what you will most likely encounter when you practice slap bass songs. They are just more concentrated versions of songs to practice a certain aspect of slap bass.

Happy Practicing!
