Quatre, I've got a question for you.

When you're playing stuff on your 6 that is normally played on a 4, do you just ignore the B and C strings or do you ever rework the fingering to be able to use them all?
I always just ignore them.

i dont think of fingerings, i think of notes, if there is a big jump i'll avoid it my simpily grabbing it on another string

[QUOTE=DubyaJoe]sorted[/QUOTE]
you're awsome

thanks alot to all participating heh. I've never had proper bass lessons and this is as close as im likely to get anytime soon. also, anyone got a channel on IRC? if not, one should be started up for all this kinda stuff! It'd be insanely useful.

this is great! quatre you are my love. i enjoyed the thump lessons alot trying to work on my speed a bit... anyways

anyone do a bit of tapping and have a lesson on that im all about the videos so much easier then words =) :thumb:

I have a quick question. With double thump, do you slap and pop with the thumb, or do you just pluck the string basically?

very good vids

its an upstroke with your thumb

for those of you looking for a nice easy song to incorporate the double thumb and double pop in check out this song

i know you kids dont like emo, but its a midi so the angst doesnt carry through, the bass line is easily double thumbed.

I'll post a wank-core double-popping video in a minute, I'm just gonna record it. Awesome videos quatre.

I have a double-popping lesson in the Lessons Archive with in-depth step by step technique and examples for anyone who wants to check it out.

Beginning Tapping and Tapping - The Next Level.

These videos are the greatest thing to ever hit MX. :thumb:

Ive seen the videos (which where great!) but im still confused. It sounded diffrent to normal slap but i couldnt see why! What is it that you do diffrently?!...

I really like the videos but I also think it would be handy if you could make some kind of document to go with each one, explaining what your doing again and tabbing out what you actually played in the video

cmon Quatre, if we're gonna see your face we gonna need some smiles

i am thinking im waiting till i get my 6 string to do this stuff

tabbing takes more time than you just asking and me telling

[QUOTE=Left Shoe]i am thinking im waiting till i get my 6 string to do this stuff[/QUOTE]

I don't see why you'd need a 6 for this stuff though. Anything he's playing could be transposed and played on other strings. I plan to work on some of the techs on my four a bit later when I feel like practicing.

omg altering note positions?!?!?!?! who woudlve thought OMG i need to stop playing bass now.
























dude i know you dont need a freaking 6 string to play that stuff, but it is easier and im getting a 6 in like a week anyway.

this stuffs much easier on a 4 string than a 6 string, double thumbing and poping is very hard wen your string spaceings about 11/12cm at the bit were u slap :(. btw iv only wached the aplication vid so far but its very impresive. some tabs would be nice if you have time, i know its beter to learn it by ear but some of us have revision to do
:(

there is no way i could tab out the application video, tabs take too long, i'd much rather explain what i'm doing, and my string spacing is 19mm just like a fender jazz

what i wouldnt give for that string spaceing....any ho no worys about tabs, it still gives a good idia of how to apply(sp?) double thumbing.

Ok thx but ..I don't know much about inversions :/ I thought u had an arpeggio and in the next inversion you move up one(the lowest?) note up an octave. With that arpeggio it would be 1,3,5,8 3,5,8,8 or something. Could you please explain the concept of inversion a little? unless it is to complex.

an inversion is a way to re arrange a chord for smooth voice leading.
lets take c major fopr instance
G
E
C
that it is in root position, now to invert it to 1st inversion you simply move the root note up one octave so the chord now looks like this
C
G
E
then keep on moving the bass note up an octave for more inversions
E
C
G

inversions are triads that start on a chord tone other than the 1. so in a chord you have th 1,3, and 5 well an inversion would have the 3,5, and 8(the octave of 1). i'm doing the inversions to their own octaves, 1,3,5,8. 3,5,8,10(the 3rds octave) 5,8,10.... and so on. then you can go back wards 15(2 octaves above the root) down to the 1 outlining each inversion

now i know how to tapp but... is it sounding ridiculously sucky and hard to do because my action is not low.... im still playing on my squire till my new bass comes in they said 2 weeks now.. but the action wont go low enuff... so its basically impossible unless you have low action cause its so low the notes and hard to do as well.

Another question.

In the double thumb movie after 1:50. When u do that wooten kind of playing over the pickup, is that normal plucking or double popping?

its a pop, but i dont get under the string, i pop from below the string. so its more of an agressive picking style that sounds like a pop

i got it just fine

Quatre, where did you get the finger ramp for your bass?

I was thinking of getting one and would like to know where I might be able to.
