Slap Staminia exercise

Hey all

Just made a quick exerice this morning as I was looking to get my slap staminia back into shape, so I though I would share with Dmans forum so others could maybe benefit from it aswell. Of course to get the best out of this play it at a tempo you feel happy with where every not is clear and it doesn't sound rushed. Also play it for a few minutes so you feel your hand starting to tire.

E---5 XX 5-XX---------------------------------------------- -
The 5/7 bit is a hammer on - hammer on from fret 5(D) to 7(E)

On the last part with the lick, slap the open string then hammer onto the 7 and then 9.

By the the way its mainly in A Aeolian which is the 6th mode of C Major.

Is your bass downtuned or is it the amp that makes that treble noise?

standard tunning - brand new strings

zoom b2.1u - EBS Compressor - Computor

How on earth are human beings like me meant to be able to play that whilst muting the other strings?




Nice exercise, cheers bro!

Nice one man! After like 30 failed attempts.. I think I got it

Cheers!

Finally bothered to try it just now It's fun!!

oh nice to see others making some use of it

Yeah I reckon my accuracy is going to improve if I keep it up... Which won't be too hard cos its soo addictive (IMO)

Nice, I'll try that tonight. Only problem being that I suck at slapping.

yeah for sure, also staminia should improve if you do it at a steady speed for say 5 Minutes. Might do a little double-thumping thing in the week if anyone's interested (will slow that one down further if I get round to it!)

Cool man thanks for sharing this. Its pretty neat.
