Flea jnr. Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hey, I'm trying to learn this song and i could do with a little bit of help. I start the first bit with normal slapping, like everyone else usually does. Then he starts doing his double slap technique. I'm wondering weather i should use this technique or not bother. I just want a few different ideas. CHRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Some of the sections of that song would be nigh on impossible to play without using his trademark double thumbing technique! There are a few good instructional videos on his website that give a run through of some of his skills - [url="http://www.victorwooten.com"]Here It Is[/url] Hope this helps, and good luck!

OutToPlayJazz Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Have a look on the lessons section on www.victorwooten.com The first page of the Classical Thump is the last section of the "Open hammer pluck" lessons. Took me a while, but I can get through the first 2 and a half pages of the damned thing now! (I ended up buying the book!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
