progress slap and pop
hello all
i wanted to post something about my progress in slap and pop, yes.... its not going that well yet XD
while i was just hitting the strings from up to down. ( E *pause* a *pause* etc)
hey while posting this thing i found the perfect angle for hitting the A string !
but still i m slow... real slow.... doesnt matter, will come in time.
i want you guys to ask about some stuff :
i dont know if this is correct.. on youtube all people do diffirent , and this is (so far) the only way i could hit the A string without hitting any other strings.
also i hit the strings with a other part of the thumb, i think, (i didnt really get dmans "where to hit the string part" (srry dman) because i m dutch -.-)
i hit the string with the RED place, and the green place is where i think dman said.
i m propably wrong, but not hurt in asking , right?
o and the last part, people are talking about the "tone" of your bass, is there a special tone for slapping? because if there is, it might clear the annoying sound my bass makes XD
dont mind the bad quality, and the scar XD
thx guys

Re: progress slap and pop
1) That thumb position looks fine, everyone does it differently and if it works for you, go for it
2) If I had to choose one area I'd pick red, but as long as its that general area of the thumb and you're getting the right sound it doesn't really matter
3) For slapping a lot of people use a bright 'scooped' tone. Basically this means making the bass and treble higher than your mids in some way. To do this turn down the Mid knob down on your amp or turning up both the bass and the treble (or both). Experiment and see what sounds good to you. Also turning up the tone control on your bass gives it a brighter sound suitable for slap

Well, I use that exact same position for the A and I can slap fine (or so I've been told), so that ought to be okay.
Try some lines, it'll accellerate your learning.

"voorbereidend wetenschappelijk onderwijs", "Preparing scientific Education" literally.
Basically there are three different levels in Dutch secondary education, VMBO, HAVO & VWO, VWO being the "highest", as in the most difficult and also the longest, 6 years in total vs. 4 years for VMBO and 5 years for HAVO.

Re: progress slap and pop
Ok back again with a report of my slap and pop progress.
i m learning higher grounds now, thx to dmans tutorial ( i ow all my bass skills to dman XD)
i dont hit the E string if i try to slap the A string anymore (that took me a very very long time)
but now i m with a other problem, as i slap a Open string it sounds (what i think) perfect.
but if i slap like the 5th fret of the Astring, the sound is much softer, less louder.
is this normal, or do i need to slap the string harder?
o and does any1 know a easy but fun to play slap song? (links plz )
it doesnt have to be a real song, something you made up your self will do (as those are mostley fun to play as excual songs )
thx ^^
