👉 My full beginner bass course: yeah.bassbuzz.com/daily-slap
Wanna get better at slap bass in just 10 minutes a day? This stupidly simple exercise will level up your speed, technique, and accuracy.
Free PDF with 10min slap workout routine: www.bassbuzz.com/go/slap-daily
Playalong audio: soundcloud.com/bass_buzz/daily-slap-practice-track
2 weeks from now, you walk into the music store and lay down this SICK slap riff. The owner says “Wow, you’re so good at slapping! How did you learn to do that?”
The secret? This video, and 10 minutes per day of practice. This one slap bass exercise will help fix bad tone, worse accuracy, and worse-er speed.
This exercise has been tried, tested and approved by my students on the BassBuzz forum. At the end of the video, you’ll see how they did after 14 days.
So prepare to ditch your bad habits and get the most out of your 10 minute routine. Practice this exercise every day and you'll become a master of tone, accuracy and speed while slapping.
In this video, you’ll learn how to:
* Master tone, accuracy and speed while slapping
* Use the ‘teeter totter’ technique for slap bass
* Sexy up your slap lines with ‘ghost notes’
* Play 92.3% of all hammer ons
* NOT get kicked out of music stores for slap crimes

  • What level can you make it to? (without joining me in slap bass jail) 👋🎸

    @BassBuzz@BassBuzz3 ай бұрын

    • Level one would be a good goal for me. I've been playing bass since 1975, but I've never tried slapping. The music I've always played, mostly heavy/speed metal didn't require much slapping. But I'm willing to give it a try. Is slapping on a six-string okay. I haven't owned a four-stringer for over 20 years.

Thanks very much for the effort you've put into these videos, hope to see many more videos just like this! 😊

  • Josh is 6’7 and has huge hands so I was convinced that I’d never slap since I’m only 5’9 and have small hands. I was always self conscious that I couldn’t do it since I have tiny hands, but thru watching his videos and lots of practice I can now stretch from the 3rd fret e string and 7 fret g string and have been slapping more and more complex lines and fast lines. Thanks bassbuzz for helping me to get where I am now.

    @gumbly4174@gumbly41743 ай бұрын

    • I'm a 5'9 woman with relatively short fingers, and I had the same fears. Watching Josh even before my bass arrived helped me focus on good technique from day 1, including using my pinky and microshifting. Over time, my strength and flexibility have improved so much that I can easily span at least four frets everywhere on the neck. Still jealous of Josh and my husband, who both have long, elegant fingers lol😂😅

I'm finding that it's easy for me to hit the lower strings with the base of my thumb while slapping, particularly on the higher strings. If you don't mind, I'd love to put these in a tab writer so I can adjust the tempo when I play along.
