Nice work , though I think you can definitely benefit from a clearer explanation of some terms and lingo you used within your articles regarding the electric bass. Many beginners will most likely encounter problems comprehending some of the more complex terms in my opinion. Furthermore, links to various videos or pictures showing the techniques at hand will provide a deeper and clearer explanation of the techniques.

Great job though! :wink:

i bookmarked ur blog

Thank you for your support.

Btw I mentioned that if people have any enquiries can email me. Some videos linked online is not "legal" therefore I would not wanna direct them there for copyright issues.
People can search on yahoo video and search bass video,bass tapping, slapping and etc or go places like youtube.com.

I would also encourage people to ask questions and people who are experiences in one of the techniques I mentioned could help to elaborate it further so that we can learn from one another.

I mentioned a few bass guru and people who are really interested could invest in instructional DVD or books and enhance their playing. Those intereted cna also sign up for classes and various music schools (Yahama, citymusic,guitar 77 and etc)

For viewing and learning can watch Victor Wooten Bass Day 98. It include his playing and also teaching of his techniques. Importantly focuse on the cake and not icing on the cake (the groove and not just flashy stuff)
Check out www.victorwooten.com to learn his open hammer slap and try classical thump (as you progress)

Cheers,

Ben

Check out this Larry Graham brief instrutional video on his thumbing techniques, it helps to enlighten a lot about the thumbing techniques. After watching it and with about 1 week's of practising on my bass , I can thumb and pop quite well now.

Hi,

Haha, guess after you guys watched larry graham, shd had found out tt he also uses the thumb down and thumb up technique.
Watched one of his video about bass solo and left hand technique. He is cool man. haha thk first person to use effects on bass.

Go search online for stu hamm slapping.. Blow your mind man.. Very fast.

But I do encourag epeople learning to take it slow and be motivated that bass is interesting too.

Hi pls check your email. Just replied you lah.

I mentioned abt Stu Hamm cos he used just the slap technique at the video i saw was great.

Victor wooten uses his thumb down, thumb up, pluck 1, pluck 2, very cool too. Him grooving with Carter and Steve was excellent.

They are all good players. Dun wanna compare though.

Can also check out Bill Dickens.

Cheers,

Ben
