algmusic Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) I'm not really a slap fan (like it very small bites size peices) but Larry is King... I'd say he makes slap truly funky [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipjTvRe7-Zg&feature=player_embedded"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipjTvRe7-Zg...player_embedded[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1IuD6F3R5I"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1IuD6F3R5I[/url] Edited August 5, 2011 by algmusic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) I do. The guy is the definition of cool. Kinda... He doesn't really do "subtle" though, does he? Edited August 5, 2011 by Conan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I prefer his stuff with Betty Davis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Great. I love the way his tone is not at all tinny, and sounds like a bass should. He's one of the very few slappers that I really enjoy listening to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottomE Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 He's excellent and always comes over well in interviews. There was a recent one on Marlowe DKs you Tube site. Hes thought of as a one trick pony but has a lot of bass playing vesatility in his arsenal. Larry is great. A real character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crez5150 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Really? I think the stuff that he's recorded on sounds great but any of the live youtube stuff sounds bloody naff..... just sounds like a one of those music shop slappers everyone always goes on about on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderthumbs Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I also think some of his tone comes from his "downstroke" style of slapping rather than hammering against the fretboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamd Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Love Larry, one of the originators, with a unique take on the technique. +1 for the Betty Davis and GCS stuff, awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
