Now I know why I don't want to learn slap bass Don't let that fkin woeful 'solo' be a reason to hate slap bass. I can't remember ever seeing such a s****y attempt. The 'slap' part is everything it shouldn't be, a wild, random, uncontrolled right hand and poor fretting with the left. His finger technique isn't any better either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His finger technique isn't any better either Thank you for the encouragement. I don't hate slap bass. I just feel I am too far down the food chain at 69 years young to learn it when there are plenty of other skills I need to still refine. I only retired this year and at last have the time to get in as much of a life's worth of practice as I can. I've always been too busy keeping the bloody wolf from the door to play as much as I should have 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the one where he's doing that GOT stuff and there's a malfunction in the flywire motor (or operator error) and he shoots up into the truss and gets stuck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have got closer to that bass tone if you kicked the cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(some were tasteful) I can't believe someone as talented as Scott would genuinely believe trying to fit in 50 notes every second makes anything other than showmanship, as opposed to music. His premise for the video seems to be more on stretching technique to the limits, like extreme finger raking, than on making music. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, some super cool soloing, inspirational stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
