Started learning bass slap from this exact video in late 2021, and still rocking the slaps till now. Thanks for teaching us those ghost-note techniques. It was a GAME CHANGER for my bass playing.
Aside from this just being just an awesome challenge and thing to practice with, all these riffs sound so freaking cooooolll!!! You're a terrific bass player, and an awesome teacher! Thank you for this blessing of a TH-cam channel!
Dude. You probably don’t read these, but you have been a hell of a teacher to me. The way you explain and slow everything down is exactly what I’ve needed for where I’m at. Thank you!!!!!!!
This channel puts out free content/lessons that other channels charge good money for as their “courses” - it’s really very very good stuff! Keep it up (pls!) 😃
8:48 I've always wondered how bassists use ghost notes because they sound soo cool! I'm a beginner at bass but with decent music experience on church service using the keys. I'm really happy you made a tutorial, because it's an absolute game changer for me.. My index finger now hurts because of those pops but who cares xD Calluses will build eventually, hopefully haha. Thx for the tutorial man :D
First of all I just want to say thank you for what you have done for me personally and my approach to all things bass. You're hands down the top instructional/bass player I've watched and learned from. I would love to see a video where you could show me/us the different grooves of slap you could improvise with different drum beats. I get hung up so bad on if I should pluck on the snare vs the hihat or just alternate between the two and if I should just hang back on the off beat. I mostly played metal/thrash that had melodic slowdowns and am pretty new to the funk and slap world, but gave always loved it. I just want to be more versatile and not suck at it. Thank you again for all that you do, sir! -Shane
God bless you sir for sharing your talent from the Philippines. I really understand of your tutorial and it's complete guide for us your video and tab.
Just joined your subscription. concise, fast, very well put together, compliments to the team (or is it just you). Please continue to add bass clef bars its only way I can keep up. Again thankyou so much!!!
0:03 the drummer sorta looks like Mike form breaking bad in that shot😂😂 Uhhh that’s a funny though mike playing the drums with his expressionless face.
Crud, I've hit a plateau. I use octaves naturally now without thinking about it when practicing slap and pop, along with purposely playing wrong notes (honestly can't help it, it sounds so weird but in a cool way)
Awesome video! Can you please make a tutorial on, Victor Wooten "You Cant Hold No groove." They're no tutorials anywhere on youtube, that are in English. Cheers

Dude you are such a legend for setting up such a great system like this for people, honestly man much respect
I keep saying, Mark is simply the absolute best. no empty talk, no ego, all bass
Really true.
Exactly .. i get tired of the nonsense talk and time wasting with SBL. Mark is straight to the point.
I love the comment but I love the profile picture more 😏
probably one of the most underrated channels in the music community, but certainly one of the best
You are the best virtual bass instructor I’ve ever seen....Scott’s bass lessons can eat it lol
LMAOOO
Scott can’t slap!
@@joekao192 actually he does slap pretty well, but prefers fingerstyle as @FelinoLOL said.
Scott is good but his lessons take too long
Scott talks too much
You are one of the best Teacher in youtube...no one is better than you Sir..
Best teacher on YT hands down no fluff

This man is a treasure trove! Played a bit of guitar as a teen, recently picked up a bass as an adult and having Mark has been a game changer!
@@vamountainman2512 Groove 11 is a super game changer for my playstyle!! I learned more slap tricks using that ghost note technique alone :D
How many months in?

Great
OOOH DAT FUNK THO HMMMM I like it.
Excellent lesson! What strings are you using? The tone is perfect
Heisenberg playing drums
How do I make My own bass licks?
Stealing from others ☺
Imagination
Cant find the lesson!
I "double-thumb" with the tip of my index finger as if I were holding a pick. I can pretty much tremlo pick with it. Is that a bad habit?
No. I’ve done a lesson on that. I call it flutter picking. Very different from double thumbing.
Groove 18 is very reminiscent of aeroplane by chili peppers.
ayo Walter White is killing it at the drums
You are a jinious Sir.
Badass
what bass guitar is that

Do I need a compressor or sum to get my bass to sound that clean or am I just really bad at finding a good tone?😂
Challenge accepted!
It's Jesse and Mr white!
That tone...
The best 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
