Hi, I'm going to teach you how to slap the bass.
I'm going to teach you in very [Ab] easy lessons.
I'm going to teach you how to slap the [G] bass.
If you can't count to 8, then it must be very easy to learn this.
Remember you only can learn slap the bass if you [N] practice every day,
at least for 20 minutes or half hour.
The teaching is very simple, what monkey see, monkey does.
We're going to start off with just counting till 8.
We're playing in the key of D, so you only use your right hand.
You can count to 8.
You start with the middle string.
The two middle strings, but then the one most far away from you.
That's the D string.
Then you're going to use both strings in the middle.
You start with the most far, and then you count till 8.
It's going to sound like this.
[D] [A] 1, 2, [D] 3, 4, 5, [A] 6, [D] 7, [A] 8.
[N] That's all to it.
If you can count to 8, you can play bass.
Of course you don't know how to slap, but it will come later.
So you're going to practice again, count till 8.
[D]
[A] [N] So that's very simple.
That's the start of a rock and roll schedule.
It's the key of D, so the next one should be G,
and the latest one is going to be the key of A.
So if we're going to play the whole schedule in one time,
you have to play till 8, those two strings,
then till 4, those two strings,
again 4, the middle strings, 4, the most outside strings,
and then again 4 for the middles.
So if you play it all together in one row, it [D] will sound like this.
[A] [D] [A]
[G] [D]
[A] [D] [A]
[E] [A] [D]
[A] [N] If you can play this, then you
For the first time you played the rock and roll schedule in the key of D,
and the R3 chord, the D, G, and the A.
If you play it all together, then you have a kind of a rock and roll schedule.
So practice this every day at least for 20 minutes.
Make sure you find the right beat [A] between the notes,
so it's [N] going to have a steady rhythm, just like if you're dancing,
or tapping your fingers or tapping your feet with rock and roll songs.
If you have this rhythm, then you can do it on the bass too,
and that will be rock and roll.
And next time I'm going to show you how to use slap in it.
