Absolute gold. Years of chasing the Flea, but instead should just have followed the Josh. This video is only 8 minutes of content, but worth months of lessons. Imagine, by this pattern you could be easily seen as the next best Flea by hundreds of drunk members in the audience 😁
The drunker they are, the more awesome you get. :)
Awesome then you'll just need a singer who can scat and sings about California
Reppa deppa reppa deppa California - you as the new Flea AND Tony Flow
@@Woozy.0 All we need now is that Kanye collaboration for some of that real 🔥. All the time I'm California don't scoop de whoop say I didn't warn ya
@@derekknight5156 SCOOPA DOOPA CALABASAS!
You have the best sounding bass out of all the TH-camrs. Some are way too quiet, some try to get too fancy with effects for a teaching setting. Yours is just done correctly. Thank you for that.
Thanks Paul, I appreciate that! It's a work in progress, always trying to get my engineering above n00b level. :)
Yes, and I can actually hear it on my wimpy phone speaker!
Noob Josh will always rise above!!
Flea slaps that bass like it owes him money!
Absolutely 🤣
I'm 44 now, and became a "student" of Flea when I was a mere 14. Learned everything Chili Peppers at the time and anything else that tickled fancy. I picked up slap bass so fast. It's not that difficult if you have the passion. It's trick playing. The real trick comes with making music better with your playing, and that requires being discernative.
OMG~ Your humor was turned up to 11 on this one. Loved the patterns you went over. Nothing makes me happier and feeling the bass rhythm and groove than percussive playing. Callouses on my callouses indeed. Another great video. And, who knew that Flea actually owned a shirt 🤣🤯
Growing up as a suburban skater kid in the 80s and 90s Flea was my introduction to slap bass and his technique strongly influenced mine although over the years has morphed with countless new influences
A late friend of mine gifted me the DVD that this was clipped from when I first started playing bass many moons ago , that's awesome you found this - it's a classic and was super illuminating for learning slap drills and attack heavy riffs . Cheers and thank you for contributing content !
Weird that the older Flea gets, the more he looks like George W. Bush.
Flea is the decider!
Oooo you funny man! You so funny that you should be comedy man on top of revolving restaurant for claustrophobics
Damn Son.... lmao
Mind= Blown!
You're one of the terrerish
Love your vids! They helped me learn bass. Are you planning to do a bass pedal/pedal board video?
Oh great idea!! Yes please! Also another beginner bass/amp video and perhaps Bass and amp picks for other than beginners.
Thanks Alexandru! Good idea, that'd be fun, I love pedals. :)
@@BassBuzz yeah its amazing how many bass players need to learn about pedals through guitar videos because......ef us I think?
Ahh the burgers not enough for you. You want the special sauce too! 😱
Hi! Are the request to telegram you (to claim a prize) a scam attempt? Could you please let us know? Thank you
This was an instant save to my learning playlist. I play bass in a metal band so I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to pull out a fast slap fill, but one can dream. Awesome teaching as always Josh!
Depends on the metal!
Off the top of my head, First Fragment, Archspire, and Havok all use slap.
@@Marfman Feildy uses a bit of slap as well
@@Marfman Don't forget Mudvayne!
The entertainment is perfectly sprinkled throughout the video. And you've held that fine balance for quite some time now which is impressive because it's easy to overdo it once you realise the audience enjoys it! Hats off!!
That’s awesome I’ve finally found a famous bass player that uses the bone of his thumb like I do for my quadruple thumb technique
Thank you so so much Josh! For all your videos and especially for the "Beginner to Badass" course. Two years ago it helped me to start :)
You're welcome Pavel, glad you enjoyed the course!
Beginner to badbutt is great! 100% worth it, really dig the fact that I'm finally able to transcribe on my own
Badbutt???!? Bwuahahahhahaha
Josh, I watched your videos when I first started bass. I love all your beginner focused content. You made me feel encouraged and prepared to try.
This video is exceptional. It's a perfect chunk of lesson. Thanks for this.
I like your light hearted comedy videos that often feature content about the bass guitar. Good stuff Josh.
I’m just about to start the slap section of the B2B course, so this is perfect timing. Plus I never knew Flea owned a shirt. If it’s used, I wonder if he got it from a…flea market? 🤔
Josh, your lessons are incredibly good, I tend to follow more "serious" bass channels, but when you goof around it's tasteful and doesn't diminish the lessons. Thank you for all the work you invest to help all of us.
Guitar player for about 20 years. I’ve only played a bass a couple times but I really want to get one and learn. More instruments the better at my house.
That video actually inspired me to practice slapping with my own bass instruments. Such a great warmup technique.
I started doing this a long time ago and am still learning.
Funk-E-Tudes by Andy Lalasis and Frank Cook is one of the best funk bass excercise book/tape that I've heard. It's super FUNKY.
Wow, what a great lesson! I'm quite the amateur, but man this took me to a whole new level fast! Definitely earned a sub from me.
Instructions unclear, my step-sister got stuck in the washing machine
Fun fact: using your pinky to finger 2 frets up isn't just conserving energy, it is actually how you would finger the same thing in an orchestral setting. F# in 1st position is your third finger on an electric but your 4th finger on an upright bass
Nailed The Speed Talking Transition Into Clicking And Subscribing - Well Done
Cheers
Oh yeah that was so good!
THANKSMAKESUREYOUSUBSCRIBEPLZZZZZZZ
dope.
Luv how you teach people to make it their own
1:47 still gonna try this with my flat tapewound strings... I just put them on yesterday. we'll see how it goes...
excellent video, thank you!
Every time i listen to old RHCP i always think to myself “Wut happened??” there newer stuff isn’t a 1/10th as good as songs like “Sikamikanico”
I like you put classic flea bassline each section
This is the best slapping video I've ever seen
Thanks for 1 of your best videos ever. 🤙😎
Yours truly, the guy with 10 thumbs who's older than dirt.
Thank you! :)
LMAO I was looking at mechanical watch's and your video popped up. 6bps vs 8bps Japanese vs Swiss. I like Flea and Peter Hook. Great video. Thank you.
Breathing is such a pro tip! For some reason when the music gets we harder we forget to breathe! That just makes things more difficult
Haha yup it's an ongoing practice!
I learned that pattern/exercise (and a few other) from his instructional video back in 1995. Great video.
That's funny, i have the same Pbass, and mine had a crackle in the volume, turns out it needed a whole new pot. thanks warranty!
Take notes, Squier quality control!
The only cool bass trick I can do is a fast TTP slap in the middle of a bassline and double-finger pops which is kinda like popping a power chord. I miss the days when I had the energy and time to play more.
This is now my favorite channel on TH-cam, and I don't even play bass.
Even the choking sound rhythm wasn't bad, sounded more like an anticipatory galloping thing etc.
Eh , whatever you do is amazing
Thanks for giving and breaking down in parts 🙏
Another perfect example, why Josh is the best bass teacher on the internet! Thanks for that!!!
This is so awesome. I think I'll never learn slap lines ever again. I'll just make my own, cuz now I know how.
You're allowed to do both too. :)
loved the vid! can you do a breakdown of Tim Commerford's bass lines in the future?
So much good stuff here...
You can see in his videos that Victor Wooton often uses his 4th finger when doing octaves. Maybe always - I haven't listened to everything he does. I'm going to say that may be a player preference thing.
PLEASE do a video about the basses that you use! 🙂
Yes please!
Loved the video !!!
I've been watching bass buzz for a while now and was wondering if you could make a video on how to solo on bass!
Thanks for the videos!
you know your stuff. Thank our.
Thanks to you and Flea, my bass playing just changed forever.
Once Buckethead participated at bass slapping competition ( i think it was in LA) and won. Flea was also there and lost from not even a bass player.
You are back! Glad to see!
Love the new editing it really makes the videos pop i noticed the new editing like 3 videos ago its really good
I am a simple Guy, i hear or see slapping and i press like
I have that same Sterling bass! I practically did the Leo DiCaprio pointing at the TV meme when I saw it!
I have that one too. Great bass for slapping or heavy metal.
Hey man, I'm a pretty recent player but your videos are very informative and have taught me stuff I probably wouldn't have known otherwise. Also I just cracked give it away, it took me a week to really get it but today I was able to play the entire song on time and everything
The first video that actually helped give me clear direction on how to continue and practice playing slap amazing video
flea is the best bassis ever.....I really like the way it plays
very very very honestly...
I did not expect this video to be so GOOD!!! I thought I had learnt most of fleas lines and understood them. I was wrong. thank you Josh!!!
Thanks Sergio!
crackle in the electronics can be cured with a few sprays of electronics cleaner. I just had the same issue.
Awesome chop I tried to slap & when I popped it was difficult to build speed because as my thumb bounced up I tried to pop in one motion I can see the value the thump strikes root note and the octave pop implies tonality and then you can get funky with the fifths or the blue note !
"flea actually owns a shirt" coming out strong aint'cha
your editing is getting better
Flea explained it in seconds…he doesn’t need likes and subs.
Always wanted to play like Flea.
That video of Flea teached me how to slap. Im still an amateur, but at least I sound cool.
I really can't slap before i click the like button
It's really work guys!
Great video once again. I really like the root-pentatonic pattern of playing. I guess I'll do a lot of it in the next weeks!
Always wanted to learn slap bass but never figured out how to set up the bass for it.
daaaaaaaaaamn 30s in and my mind is already blown listening to his blazing slap speed!
I remember seeing that video years ago, trust me, it worked!!
You have my exact same bass!
Dear Flea please tell us how you slap
C'mon
Grrway grrway grrrway now
Grrway grrrway grrrway now
Grrrway grrrway grrrway now
totally underrated bass guitarist!
Flea used to be a client of mine many years ago, you have no idea how sick a bassist this guy is
I have a song I’ve written with my friend that is RHCP TOOl Hybrid. I love using fleas style
Don't forget the Victor Wooten advices you to practice the movement while isolating your thumb, wrist, elbow and shoulder.
This will help you adjust what you're using to slap when fatigued during a long performance.
👁️🖤🔊
It'd be cool if you made a video with your dad showing how you prefer to set up your bass.
2:06 yo dawg, I heard you like calluses
As always great video. 👍
"phone me up kids!" 😱
love ya
Just got a new suscriber, my friend.
Amazing content, thank you.
This is the easiest way I’ve ever heard anyone explain slap and it makes so much sense
Huge fan of your video! Also a huge fan of beginner to badass. We gonna get a new course anytime soon ? I’m sure you’ve got something in the tank. Cheers Josh!
Thanks Josh and Flea I tend to make harder than it should be I have 77P bass 93pj 01 stingray still cood not play slap funk good. this helped me so much, by the way you see the time line in each of those gutiars each time I send this is the one.
That's a 2 bar bossa nova clave rhythm he's playing actually haha
We need a video on Ryan Martinie now!
Subscribed. This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I'm sold. Time to start learning bass in my free time (what's that? haha)
Thanks Jesse, have fun learning bass!
One of my favorites about this whole thing, is that this guy has a zucchini tattooed on his arm.
always thought that video by Flea was briliant
Love his random bass commentary on his videos
Love a bit Fleabassing
I hate to break it to you boys but bluegrass players have been doing this on banjos for almost a hundred years.
My friend Hootch described Flea as a bluegrass picker 30 years ago but that guy could play anything, he just liked bass the best
Any arthritis in that right thumb, Mr. Flea?
You can slap and pop without newer strings. It creates a more subtle mellow slap tone great for going back and forth from fingers to slapp
Mellowest slap tone is slapping a fretless with flatwounds.
Yep, it's an option! It's not quite "the" slap sound, but it can be useful.
Keep it diverse too, I started learning off what Flea did and got stuck in that rut. Change it up, listen to Rob T, Les and Billy G. Don’t focus on one too much!
lol love this guy
Don't forget pour super glue on that thumb for that secret tone.
Think about your slap bass progression in terms of YEARS too. It might take a year of daily practice to really master something and maintain the endurance to keep it going for 45 minute funk jams.
I just picked up a bass for the first time in years and I immediately started trying to play Can't Stop
That song has its own gravitational pull!
Great lesson Josh
I‘ve started bassing a few months ago. I hated string instruments back then.
Within the last 2 days I’ve learned how to slap and get some tones out of my crappy cordt bass. I‘ve tried to learn how to slap when I begun back then - no chance. It takes a while to get control over the string when you learn evrrything by yourself ^^
Now I can‘t stop the slappin and also I want a Dingwall now -_- (PS good multiscale bass under 1000 € anyone?)
Gonna sweep through your vids for more. Liked & subscribed.
Been there done that but I am grabbing my bass right now to work on MORE SPEED! Thanks. And Breathing??? It took me a few years to realize I was holding my breath. Ship me you poor poor p bass and I'll restore it as a donation to you!
i stopped breathing midway through the excercise
i am die now, thank you forever
