In this video Olivier Babaz teaches how to play slap bass using the bow. This can be a really effective way to add a bit of rhythmic interest and groove to your bass lines!

Please Note:

Olivier uses a carbon fibre bow in the video. We don’t recommend trying this with your fine Pernambuco​ bow and we can't be held responsible for any damage. 

This lesson is taken from our new course, 'Jazz Bowing' by Olivier Babaz. It comprises 61 lessons over 5 hours and is a step-by-step course on jazz bowing technique. It's a great fit if you improvise with the bow and find classical method books aren't giving you what you need.
