This course is perfect for those who have worked through the Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced slap bass modules and are looking for additional practice material. In this series of courses, we’ll be playing lines built around techniques such as ghost notes, fretting hand slaps, chord strumming, double popping, tenths, machine gun triplets, double thumbing, open-hammer-pop and more.

In this section you can watch five sample videos from the course, without subscribing. These exercises will allow you to get a feel for the full course, which is over EIGHT HOURS in length.

There is a downloadable resources file available, which contains a PDF worksheet and audio for these five exercises. The audio includes a full band track, a backing track and the isolated bass part.

Exercise #1

This exercise requires only basic slap and pop techniques and features some sliding figures.

Exercise #31

If you’ve never played bass grooves that incorporate fretting hand slaps before, this exercise is a good place to start.

Exercise #53

This exercise opens with a double stop: a G and a D popped on the top two strings. The G here functions as the minor third of the Em7 chord, while the D is the minor seventh.

Exercise #59

This exercise opens with a commonly played double popping figure. After an initial slapped note, the thumb is used once again to slap the low string (this time as a ghost note) and is followed by sequential pops with the first and second fingers.

Exercise #96

In this exercise the open-hammer-pop technique is used to play sixteenth note triplet figures in the second and fourth bars.
