The Top 2 Slap Bass Mistakes... Every Bassist Makes

Slap bass... we ALL love it, right?

Marcus Miller, Larry Graham, Bootsy, Louis Johnson... you can't deny, it's one of the funkiest bass techniques there is. Period.

If you're aiming to be a great bass player, being able to play slap bass lines is an essential technique that you'll have to learn, and is something that you'll be expected to be able to do for certain songs and styles as your musical career progresses.

With that in mind, I thought I'd share what I believe to be the 2 BIG slap bass mistakes I see countless bass players making...

I've even suffered from these mistakes myself - so I'm talking from experience.

Hey, and if you want to go further with your slap bass playing and really focus on mastering this important technique you should check out some of our slap bass courses within our course library here at SBL.

See you in the shed…

Scott :)
