Beginner's Slap Bass Lesson: The Single Slap

, ,

Preview Lesson from the Course

I'm thrilled to share our first video lesson from our latest course, Slap That Bass! by Slick Joe Fick. In this video, Joe teaches the foundation of good technique - the single slap. To demonstrate, he channels the legendary slap bassist Willie Dixon over a slow blues. Joe is joined in the studio by his incredible band, Kelley's Heroes and we have included a backing track so you can play along with them at home.

Please find the band backing tracks with and without the bass below the video, where you can also download the transcription for this lesson.
