Slapping might be a love-it-or-hate-it technique in some circles. But when it’s not over-used, it’s a super-useful way of adding some rhythmic, percussive flavour to your bass parts. For anyone playing funk, pop, r’n’b and associated styles, it’s an essential tool!
Focussing on developing a tight, musical slapping approach in this easy-to-follow lesson, Elixir Strings artist Abel Sanchez takes you through a simple, movable pattern that you can move across groups of strings. By working slowly and methodically it’s a perfect way of improving the muscle memory you’ll need to drop into great-feeling slap sections that really improve your groove…
Explaining why he’s a fan of Elixir Strings, Abel says, “Elixir Strings enhance my playing. I truly love the way they feel – they’re an extension of who I am”
