Double Thumb Slap | The Basics 👍🏻 👍🏻 🔥

[@EeekItsSnek]

It also hurt and felt wrong when I learned that technique. Totally worth it in the end.

[@PhullyNo1]

Tight tone, love that bass!

[@jakubjungle656]

Love that tone and the colors, the Aguilar look is highly desirable for collectors and players. 70's fender in general but these are having their moment

[@nicandknacksandseans]

Never knew I had a thumb! Thats what I've been doing wrong all these years

[@whoisadaline]

i learned this as a guitarist, and its soooo fun
itll be really hard to start but its one of my favourite sounds now - victor wooten has a really good video with sweetwater or reverb i believe that taught me a lot of the basics

[@johnnypalacios9920]

Thank you soooo much, I've always to get funky in the bass.
But you just revealed one of the worlds best kept secret.

[@DaytonBassman]

What song were you playing to in the beginning??

[@tomrogue13]

I would like to know as well

[@tylerthompson1842]

Hell of a player

[@RanzorFox]

What the song from the start?

[@chamberlainallman3242]

Darude - Sandstorm

[@dannomusic47]

Awesome, baby!!

[@thesavvybassist]

This is awesome. Thanks. Could not figure that out for the life of me.

[@devinebass]

👍👍👍

[@mikecarpenter3819]

Thank you so much! I am learning stuff here all the time! I got my lifetime membership.. it’ll probably take that long..

[@devinebass]

So amazing to hear Mike! 🙌🏻🧡🔥

[@angelsalas932]

First video I find of someone actually mentioning that it felt weird. Thought it was just be having a sensitive thumb so didn’t bother learning up technique

[@paddyeire96]

What song is that?!

[@Skullz_wally]

Ummm I started in June and already mastered this am I good

[@finh.1334]

I saw victor wooten live once 😎🥱🙄

[@YAQAM-BAN-YAHAWADAH]

Victor Wooten 😂😂 my favorite bassist aside from Larry Graham

[@Mark-db1ok]

Can someone identify the song at the beginning?

[@NickBEADG]

I have giant man thumbs, so I can't play like that which sucks. Even with my BTB with 19mm string spacing

[@shodapad07]

I will learn this too by God's Grace

[@jakubjungle656]

I dare you guys to play a bass that cost less that $2500

[@kodykindhart5644]

Don’t watch much eh?

[@jakubjungle656]

@@kodykindhart5644 I'm being hyperbolic but most of the instruments they play are very very expensive it's like a museum.

[@mr0ash]

they play Squires often tho

[@jakubjungle656]

@@mr0ash play something for a few seconds just to say "see cheap basses still sound good"...with pro set up and good strings and a $2900 amp

[@elponchex]

Of course cheap instruments sound great, the idea that Chinese products are bad quality is a stereotype from 30 years ago. I think that a lot of older people who have money to spend and little time to play just get obsessed with brands because buying gear is ultimately their only way of staying connected to their hobby, through consumption (because of having little time to actually play, but money to spend at a whim)

[@carlosblank6629]

Because I didn't master this technique in less than 30 mins I figured I had no talent...I'm pretty hard on myself.

[@slimeallthetime69]

Find some exercises, build it from the ground up with a metronome as slow as you need to be to be perfect. Good technique comes from consistency talent be damned.

[@jasoncotter3518]

Yeah I get it???????? But I don't think the sound it makes is that cool!!!!!!! Make I could see if it was like a rocking slap sound!!!! But I just don't think the benefit is worth the punishment I guess?????

[@田中三郎-i5x]

I don't have thumbs.

[@drbassface]

I still don’t think the upstroke thumb is a tone suitable for a baseline in a song song.
Great for flashy bass riffs…
That’s it
IMO

[@The-Biggest-D]

Unpopular opinion: Fieldy from KoRn is one of the best metal bassists of all time
