so how was everyones past 5 hours

Good, I've just been watching Family Guy on DVD and trying to learn some basic keyboard stuff.

gaslight i just realized what your avatar is , you kick so much *** its ridiculous

Evening everyone...

welcome back, long time no see

I'm bored. And mad. The stupid carpet installers didn't realize they couldn't nail the tack strips to CONCRETE (DOH) and had to actually go out and buy adhesive (????). Now the adhesive has to cure for 24 hrs, which means it won't be done until tomorrow, which ALSO means I can't start setting up my stuff and STILL cannot play!

I'm getting really antsy. :/

It's Trent from Daria, it's an avatar I made ages ago and used a while ago. Now I have it back because I couldn't think of any other avatar to use. I love that show.

Well, in the show, he has a band called Mystik Spiral (but they might change their name).

Hallo all. How are you all tonight?

Hey! I'm new here, hm, so I guess, well.

Yeah. Trying to put together a coherent sentence is a challenge for me. :lol:

[QUOTE=Penaltyplaybass]where might i watch this show? is it on standard american TV?[/QUOTE]

It was on Standard Australian TV, but I haven't seen it in ages. You could try downloading some episodes.

Lots of episodes on the net, and some dedicated fan sites.

Hey Mx.

I found this after a quick google search:

And your avatar shows you have taste.


I have been a Flecktones fan for a while, and Wooten really inspired me too start playing bass about 6 months ago. I just wish I could get down that ****ed slap n pop!

i have a lesson in the lessons section on slapping like wooten

I know what to do, my brain sends the signals down to my fingers, and it just sort of gets lost in the nerves.


If I give it time and practice I'll probably get it. I never tried that Double slap+pop though, sounds pretty cool.

Quatre , your article just made my quest for being able to slap, possible. Thank you.

I Cant Slap For **** !! :angry: :upset:

I totally agree about the pick. It just feels all wrong playing bass with a pick!

glad i could be useful to someone

[QUOTE=quatre07]glad i could be useful to someone[/QUOTE]

I have 2 problems.

1. I dont really get your tecqnique. Do you sort of slap in a downwards motion ( to end up on th string bellow )
2. When i slap on an open string i hear it , when i slap on a string with a fret pushed down , I dont hear anything.

well thats not me playing.

But I do strike with a downward stroke about 90% of the time there are always exceptions. Its less of a turning in and more of a turning down. It has some thumb to pinky wrist rocking, as opposed to the thumb moving in to slap and the pinky moving out rotation. slap down and through the string so that you land on the string below.

I dont know whats wrong with your second problem

Thanks for confusing me Quatre, I was always taught that the thumb should bounce back up from the string when you slap. Man, I have such a hard time slapping, and I can't for the life of me work out why. I'm not too bothered, it'd just be a nice touch.

I have a really messy slap technique but it works for me.

yeah so do i.

I don't slap that much.. Never actually, I am trying to work on that now.. But I never use that with my band(s). I am more like: fingerstyle!
