I have been following your channel, since bass in 2 minutes lesson. Thank you for sharing yo I r knowledge.

You are a godsend!
I have no drummer at my weekly jam, so I’ve decided to limit myself to just rhythm. Also I tend to just solo over changes and my guys love it. I’ll leave soloing to them

Thank you very much for this video. I found it very useful.. What's funny was that I have had watched a Casiopea video a couple weeks ago, and I'd noticed how Sakurai (the bassist) was able to do these rapid pops and slaps. To say the least, I was completely befuddled and spent way too much time trying to find an exact tutorial in the internet which could at least give me a slight idea on his style. I think this video is the most hopeful thus far

That’s super useful. I’ve been playing for a while but have really only started working on my slap over the last couple of years and I definitely need to begin incorporating some of these techniques into my practice. Thanks!

I really appreciate the comment! Let me know if you have any questions!

I really appreciate your clarity of communication and your pace. I liked and subscribed, even tho I think I was born missing something it takes to slap. But I’m keepin on keepin on. I really need these lessons. YES, please go deeper into slap. You’re amazing ! FYI, I’m also really into fingerstyle, getting my ghost notes strong. THANK YOU BASS BROTHER !

I am so happy to see your vids

[@EverythingBass]

Thanks for the kind words!

I am a long time drummer and bassist and I really like your percussive slap technique! You can come up with a lot cool double thumb and triplet percussive parts to accent a drummer's hi hat accents as well as snare drum ghost notes.I would love to see more videos on percussive slap!

[@EverythingBass]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment. I will come up with some more lessons!

[@michaelb.1701]

You have so many useful techniques and very informative video! Playing double thumb has not been easy for me.I have no problem playing with all 4 fingers on both hands. Double thumb is taking longer to get,I am practicing every day on it.

[@EverythingBass]

Keep at it! I will try to come up with some double thumb exercises for you!

[@michaelb.1701]

@@EverythingBass Yes! Please do.I finally realized that you were on the instructional video I seen years ago! Do you still have that yellow Warwick on the video? I love the sound of it!

[@EverythingBass]
