Been playing bass for 10 years now, it's been about 7 since I've first seen this video. Still the best video on slapping I ever found on yt. Hopefully Mark makes a new similar video with a different riff, maybe add something new he picked up in the last 11 years that he could add ????. Would definitely watch him just jam with this riff as well. Thank you so much for giving us a lot to work with over the years man, cheers!
Great.
3:00 full riff cycled round
4:30 first fill
5:00 a lot of fills over the "basic" practice groove
5:50 octave patterns
7:47 open string hammer ons+octaves
10:23 muting + slap pop machine non stop
13:20 hammer on palm mutes
I'll learn things until 16:20.
Although this lesson by itself is enough to keep you busy for a year unless you're already good at bass.
16:20 machinegun triplet licks (very flamboyant)
Great lesson. Maybe someday I’ll be able to actually do this to a drum loop. Thank you, like and subscribed.
Sound is amazing!!!!
NUMBER ONE!TEACHER.
????????????????????????????????
Top!
what is "FH" ?İ its written in the Tabs ?
Great Lesson Sir❤❤❤
One of the best slap Videos I,ve ever seen.
It's really hard to work with it, but it makes me better every day. Thank you so much.
Greetings from Germany,

I'm having a hard time getting the tap with the left hand to ring out properly. I either end up playing a note or just don't get enough attack to hear it. Guess I'll have to sloooooooow that down :
– Ok?
– Ok 😀
Does he have makeup on
Epico.great teacher on youtube
This video is a treasure and this channel is a gold mine
Best teacher!
I like the "OK?" after each lick. Sounds like it were nothing. Thanks for your great lessons.
I didn't know Shane McMahon is bassist too.
Excellent thanks a lot.
That's a beast slap tone
iyah mark fancy a brew?
I don't play, but your lessons are so encouraging. I'm tempted to buy a bass.
Such a sweet combo!
wow! again,great lesson
a good lesson!! i like it. i play the same way! very, very good explained!!
Love that you show the technique and touch upon the patience and practice needed to develop the skill. I was never interested in slap until recently. Unlike you, some "teachers" showboat and then make you feel like an idiot that can't just pick up the bass and do it like them! Thank you
wow I like his accent LoL
the best bass teacher in you tube !!!
These are some of the best slap bass tutorials on the youtube…
i find this lesson very impressive , thank you !!
do you have tabs
This is INCREDIBLY useful. Exactly what I was looking for: A video that does not simply teach individual licks, but instead demonstrates a number of basic slap techniques upon which several named professionals build their styles. Subscribed.
This is really the best of the best slap bass lessons. I couldn't believe I could play it myself until I gave it couple of weeks… You explained the essence of it… Thank you!
I will like sheet music how to play slap bass .
Super practical and helpful, I learned a lot! Thank you!
Mark = Magento
Scott = Xavier
Can you let us know what effects you have? And possibly the exact make/model? And furthermore specific settings? I'm guessing medium/high comp with quick attack and chorus. Thank you.
It's a good lesson, however, you play the second bar differently from the slow version to the fast version. In the fast version you mute 2 notes that you didn't mute in the slow version.
This was by far, the MOST helpful video to learn a variety of slap techniques! Great video!!
talk about a good teacher right
TalkingBass, I really need to admit that Your tutorials are very helpful! I started giving up with looking for some simple but full of knowledge and exercises videos, and, what's more, for free. And then, I've found You and once again I really awoke this desire to play bass on a high level! Thanks
Btw, what kind of English accent do You have?
what is your amp?
Love the video and the way you ask "Ok?" after each demonstration 🙂
parabens pelo trabaloho
Very nice video. Thanks man!
Thanks, you are a great techaer. Regards from Colombia. Only a question…in the right hand, with wich finger are you doing the "pop" ( index, middle or ring finger).
Do you have a lesson to learn the correct way to do the "pop" attack?
Gracias amigo.
He's a good lad but he's a bit of a slapper .
