A slap lick in the style of the great Alain Caron.

Composed mostly of sixteenth notes, playing a tempo of 120, this plan uses two techniques, double thumb and double popping.

This plan was written for 5 string, but for 4 strings owners, you just have to transpose the lick. Instead of being in C, it will be in Fa.

sulfur: Hi, marlow. I just discover. The Site. and tried one lesson. you very good and clear.However, Watching video takes long tome. I'm interested in downloading the "300-$20). But I don't have credit card. Is it possible to use Money Transfer by Western Union? to download these videos?

Jake Martin: It's good to see such an awsome bassist teach so freely. Many people don't realize how rare that is. I'm Jake, and I've been playing for 7 months now and your videos have helped me alot. I do have one question, can you go over the modes and improvisation. I know the modes, I just don't know how to apply them. Thanx

MarloweDK: The strings are new on this one, thats helps a LOT

macdaddy: To be specific, #4, the beginner slap bass lesson. I can't get that crisp, "chink", edge, especially on the plucked notes, no matter what I do.

MarloweDK: Name an example video of mine
