L103 Slap bass LJ style
Add to favorites Bass lick of the day:
Slapping with ghosted notes “Louis Johnson style”, it involves the left hand fingers slapping the strings on the fretboard.
My left hand 1′st finger is playing the ie D on 5th fret A string, and the middle and index are doin the slapping
Be sure not to press the strings down with left hand , just kind of giving them ..well… a slap.
Can be quite hard for beginners NOT to sound a note, we only want just the “click” sound
Want the transcription + TAB for this bass lick?

Where do you learn all these different techniques? You have unlimited amounts of knowledge and ideas! How do you do it?
Knowledge comes from hard work, good ears, really listening to and learning music.
Techniques comes from dissecting other players and trying to make up your own stuff
Takes many years of dedication and of course some talent.

: Hey, what do you think about Rodenberg pedals ? Just ordered the GAS 728B on thomann, hope it will be worth it !
: Hi, who is your sandberg reseller ? thx
: Does anyone have pro tips or pointers for smooth slides? I find that I hear the individual frets/note much more than I would like.
: Just really, really wanted to thank you, dude. Groove on, brother...
: would someone be so kind and do a tutorial on "i'll be there" by Marcus Miller? just thought i'd ask!!! thx Marlowe, i luv it here!!!
: Thank you Patricio, your suggestions have been noted, and yes im looking into the ipad too:-)
: Hi MDK, Wow waht a great DVD... just spent a few hours learning the first few lessons... great quality and well taught... I'm very pleased with my purchase. If any improvment could be made I would only say could there be a 'repeat' funcion so that you can get a lick to play continually? or what aboutt a not showingthe BPM so that we can use the correct tempo using the drum patterns... overall a wonderful job... I look forward to more downloads in the future.... especially for IPad
: Great to hear, enjoy it:-)
: Finally I donwloaded the DVD, its simply amazing. I wait for more material like this. Thanks you very much! Cheers from Argentina
: Thank you, and yes, i will make something else for the next dvd
