Chords for PLAY SLAP BASS LIKE A BEAST... with Henrik Linder of Dirty Loops

[E] _ _ _ _ So_
Wait, wait, wait!
Do that again!
Oh yeah, so_
Hey guys, a little bit of a different video for you today.
I'm sure you've [N] all heard of and are fans of the amazing bass player, Henrik Linde, of the band Dirty Loops.
[Gbm] Dirty Loops!
_ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Gb] They're so good!
Well, if you're anything like me, when Dirty [N] Loops came out, you were like,
What is that?
So cool!
We got the chance to fly Henrik over to London, get him in a studio,
and pick his brains about all things bass and Dirty Loops, and his approach to harmony and everything in between.
And there was a really cool part of the class where he was showing his specific slap bass style,
and how he approached his slap bass, the double thumb thing,
using two hands, two fingers, two hands?
Two fingers on his plucking hand, and all of those cool shenanigans.
I thought you guys would like it, so what I'm going to do is hook you up right now so you can check it out.
Obviously, if you do dig this lesson, head on over to Scott's Bass Lessons and check out the full thing.
If you are a member, you can already check this class out.
If not, just grab your 14-day free trial, and you can get yourself hooked up today.
Anyway, here's Henrik Linde tearing it up with some _ schlappin'.
One thing I do want to approach on is your slap technique as well, Henrik,
because I know loads of people have been watching Dirty Loops, and they'll have seen all that crazy stuff you do.
Like, what is your_
The technique is_
What is your technique?
It's actually like_
I think it's a Marcus Miller thing, like with the _ _ _ _ basics of it all is_
_ [G] _ [Gbm] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gbm] It's just like _ _ _ this and hammer, [E] hammer.
And hammer, and hammer, [Eb] yeah.
And then _ [Em] _ like_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
So_
Do that again.
Oh, yeah, [E] _
so_
So it's [G] _ like_
[D] _ _ [E]
Slap, hammer, hammer, pluck, hammer, [A] hammer, slap, [E]
hammer, hammer, pluck, hammer, hammer, then_ _
Oh, yeah.
_ _ What I do with it after is that I actually_
There I transcribed _ country licks.
Oh, you were playing some country before? _
[G] _ But then you could actually use [Fm] that thing [Ab] over scale.
So if you're in like [Eb] an E-flat major 7, for [A] instance, then you have like_
Here you have the sharp [D] 11, the major 7, [G] and here you have the [C] 3rd, and here you have the 6th.
[G] And then you could just like _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
play_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ So, and then there you have like_
Yeah, of course, that [Abm] took some practice to do, and it's still sloppy, _ _ but_
You _ _ could think about like to use the open [E] strings from _ _ different scales and try to [Ab] incorporate those.
So then you have like in some case, there might be only like one open string that you could use.
And in that way, like your _ patterns kind of change depending on what chord you're in.
Depending on what chord you're in, yeah.
So I think that's like a cool approach to it.
[Gm] Yeah, it's absolutely cool, yeah.
With your thumb, do you ever [G] do the_
Yeah, like the_
The up thumb thing, yeah, that thing, yeah. _
_ _ _ _ So, yeah, yeah. _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ [G] I'm not really like_
I'm not on the Victor Wooden level.
Yeah. _ _
_ _ Oh, you use two fingers on your right hand as well?
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] So what he's doing there, guys, if you [G] can't see it because it's crazy fast, _ is_ But actually_
Up thumbs as well, and index and middle.
Yeah.
_ _ _ _ _ Then, yeah, you could do it with_
I actually learned to do like a double pluck because I thought that was easy.
Well, holding it [A] like_
Oh, like that, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[Ab] Because that was way_
It was way easier for me to do that than like the double thumb, so_
Yeah, me too, yeah. _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bm] _
[N] _ But yeah, the double thumb needs still some practice.
I can't do it at all.
Is that bit of wood on your bass, under the strings, is that to give you the feel of the body close to the_ Yeah.
Is that specifically to do with the slapping?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Especially for this.
_ Because the fingers don't like_
Disappear into nowhere.
But I mean, I think like for _ instance_
Yeah, I'm going to name Victor Wooden because he's kind of like with the advanced slap technique,
he's the one for me that like really was a game changer in that. _
I don't think like he has that, so there's like probably a million ways to do it.
It's just my first bass had like a thick pick guard.
So you got used to the feel of that and then_
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that's why I always want to have that now on my basses, so_
Yeah, me as well because I actually used to have a bass where the neck angle was at such like quite shallow,
so it was really close underneath the strings and I remember buying a bass and it was just_
It didn't.
And huge and I just couldn't use that slap technique at all.
Yeah, that's the same for me.
Yeah, same for you. _ _ _
