This course is designed to give students a basic introduction to playing in the slap bass style, or 'thumping and plucking', as it is sometimes called. This course introduces and exercises the 3 main components utilized in this style of playing: the thump, the pluck, and the left hand slap. Exercises are designed to strengthen each of these components individually, as well as combine them into more complex combinations. This course will teach you how to use these techniques together and ultimately create contemporary style slap bass grooves. Recommended for the beginning slap bass player who wants to step up to the next level.
