Syrenity Lowe Kind of disappointing you’re trying to play bass for music like that No offence it’s just not good at all

6 Years late but you look like you are from Sublime lmao, Badass video man thanks!

@Syrenity Lowe Experiment with improvising along to songs you may not know the chords to. See if you can figure out what notes the bassist is playing just by listening. Ignore the guy that insulted what you're trying to learn, music doesn't discriminate, just focus on learning what you want to play.

I have extreme doubts anyone will see this 8 years later but I absolutely can not for the life of me hit any string without accidentally hitting the one under or above it too idk why but I can't and it's bugging me so much does anyone have a way I can practice not hitting them because at This point I'm half tempted to electrify three of my strings so I get shocked if i don't hit the right one

it's funny how almost 10 years later, it answers the question that's been bugging me,, my index hurts a lot when I try learning the popping sound, really trying to bear through the pain and learn the technique

8:10

Oof

Proud to be 200th

10:32, use 2 fingers under the bASS for more quaORGASMSlity sound

He also said slap the "a" while popping the "g" string...

i dont think anyone who likes to play bass is weird, it's a cool instrument, most of bass players have played a guitar too, guitar is more difficult and complex but both instruments are great :)

MyDreamside wtf are u talking about?, bass is way harder to play than guitar

James McDonald HEY!!! I resemble that comment!!!

Luis Cespedes Bass is easy to learn but hard to master

bannanbacon is easy to make punk/rock covers (that doesnt mean u have learned how to play bass)

SLAPPED LIKE NOW just in case.

There is also one by Flea, hes extremely good. That video was very helpful and I only started playing bass 2 days ago

Me too. I slap with my thumb facing upwards like this guy does, so I have to be careful (i.e. use less power) to slap them without striking the others as well. A few things that I understand to be helpful: Slap past the end of the fingerboard, almost over the neck pickup but not quite there.. The strings will still hit the frets, making that bright percussive sound we all love. The strings are farther apart the closer you get to the bridge, so you can wail on those A and D strings to get that volume you want without having to worry about striking the adjacent ones. This is my preferred technique, although I imagine some of the clowns on the comments thread will want to hand me for suggesting it. Slap the E string more gently, so that the A and D string will sound more even. Turn up your bass or your amp to compensate for the lost volume. This takes a bit of getting used to, but you'll come to enjoy having that extra "oomf" in reserve instead of always being there and messing up your playing dynamics. Try a new technique. Slapping with your thumb facing sideways or downward will allow you to approach the strings at a different angle, and you may get a different result in terms of dynamic response.

So what you can do is you can actually go through the string when you thump (yes this is a thing) people like Marcus miller do this beautifully when you watch them play, but to do this your thumb has to be patrolled to the string

@@shasta4501 This was super helpful. Thank you!

Habla español.?

How do you know? What is your source for this claim?

Also taught Larry Grahm

you mean the guy that sounds like max headdrum and has a gf half his size so people will think he has a long dck? pfff! he's too busy trying to get likes and shares instead of trying to teach bass. what a show off.

@@fragezeichenwenn Davie said it about 4 months ago in a video

@@rorymax Davie could have said that. I watch the date of the video presentation and believe his words.
