In this course we'll begin adding popped notes into the mix, which will add a lot of additional scope to our lines. We'll also be applying the fretting hand muting technique to popped notes, and playing some more adventurous lines.
In this lesson, we'll look at the popping technique and work through some exercises that put it to use.
In this lesson, we'll be applying fretting hand muting to popped notes, and playing through some more complex slap and pop lines.
This exercise is in the key of C minor. Bars 1 and 3 feature a simple, syncopated phrase, whilst bars 2 and 4 contain root-octave figures.
This exercise is in the key of E minor and features a quicker slap-pop figure in the second and fourth bars..
This exercise moves between G and C chords, and uses simple walking bass figures to connect them.
This is a more complex exercise that features a quick root-octave figure at the beginning of each bar.
This exercise is the most challenging that we've looked at so far, mostly because it has a quick tempo. The popped notes should be played staccato.
