This lesson deals with cleaning up your slap technique. I’ve taught slap bass to many students and the most popular problem tends to be a lack of control over muting and accuracy of the thumb.
Here I try to get around this problem by changing your perspective. You should think of muting and silence first and the notes come second to that. This is achieved by using what I consider a home position. Check it out!

25:17 This technique is not perfect. There are noises.
Thank you Mark, love your videos. Have you ever considered a softer background color? Might be a bit easier on the eyes.
THANK YOU!!! I start my daily practice with this as a warmup.
As a guitar player 99%of my muting comes from my right hand, learning slap is a whole new world for me
Oh look there’s no monster space milk in this antique video!
this video helped me sounding 7% less crappy
It’s too bad you didn’t use a 5 string bas, because playing a C on he A string you’ve got 2 lower strings to worry about; how do I solve that?
Though I thought I knew most of it, you really stressed how important the rest position can be and it helped me a lot. Great video!
Спасибо, за классные уроки, английский не понимаю, но и так нормально доходит)
is it best to have the action high or low when it comes Slap Bass?
Lots of golden nuggets in this video. I'm gonna sub. Just great man….thanks a lot.
Mark, you are the absolute best bass teacher. Thank you for all you do!
Very helpful slap lesson. Is low action better for slapping? If so, how low? Also easier to slap closer to the neck?
are you supposed to live with the noise of the string hitting the fret at the end of the neck? what you do about that?
Thanks
Trying to get those quarter notes perfectly muted is giving me a headache
Thank you! This video is so effective for beginners
