  • Slap bass is one of the most common and fun techniques when learning to play bass, but after learning the basics of it, spicing up your slap bass skills can become really hard to improve.
    On today's episode of "Teach Me That" we will be learning a few tips that I use to spice up my slap bass techniques. If you put forth the time these tips can change your slap bass overnight.

    Not ground breaking but probably helps others who aren't aware of ghost notes.
    Most would advise using at least 3 fingers to mute than using 1 as you here harmonics or partial harmonics ring out.

    • @TravisDykes
      @TravisDykes  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree. You want to use single finger mutes very seldom because they do cause those harmonics to ring out. Thank you for that!

    What I don't understand is how to eliminate the fret buzz after you play a note and your fingering hand is leaving the fret board. When I play I always hear buzz as I am lifting away to mute the string. Is there a way to control that split second of fret buzz?
