Traditional Slap Vs Double Thumping video

[Rib13Bass]

Largely an opinion piece.....I just put this one out and thought I'd share it with you guys to hear what you have to say about these techniques

Again, I like your approach, and videos are fun.

 

I am so old, that those Clarke & Level 42 sounds sound better. I have to admit that I listened to them a bit too much then, fingerstyle seems to be more of an interest to me nowadays.

 

(After all, technique is still something else than what is achieved with it. I need more than one finger to play Jamerson, years ago my slapping was nearly fluid. I have studied legato playing lately, and that's hard, I think as hard as playing right notes in right place. And all those durations should be right on, but...)

 thanks for the compliment......to be honest, Ive been slapped out for awhile lol...........on the other hand, i have avoided picks for over three decades ( except when warranted for studiowork) but have really come to love the plectrum a lot in the past year or so when doing rock and heavier styles
