_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Now this next one is kind of a triple slap, but it's a different phrasing
If it [A] was a normal
slap like I've shown you already it would be
_ [F#] _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [E] _ Now this one's a little bouncier again, and it [F#] sounds like this _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ Now with this one.
I am using _
sort of the
_ My [B] palm more.
I'm still just using the two fingers [A] to pull
_ [D#] But it's really hidden with [C] the palm and _ _
_ [F#] a hand coming [N] back as well
Again, it's another one that is really difficult to show _
slow, but the idea is
_ pull
_ _ Let me do it faster _ _ _
_ [F#] _ Pull
_ _ [G] palm
[A] slap [N] pull and and _ _ _
_ _ Again, you can use it in any baseline, but it sounds really good on descending baselines
[G#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
Okay, well I'll try it really slow
It won't sound the same, but it'll give you the idea of what the right hand's actually doing so it pull _ palm
slap [A] pull
_ _ [F#] _ pull [A] slap pull
_ pull
palm slap pull _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ Yeah, if you can learn to do it slow it's very clever, but I've never been able to it's a very
_ fast _
Jumpy type thing and it sounds great if you're
_ You're doing a normal baseline.
Here's an example of how I'd use it.
You'd be doing a normal walking [C] baseline
_ _ [A] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [Am] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ [N] And it's it's it's more of a solo thing than
When you're playing with the band, but it's it's a it's a good thing to have in your arsenal of licks _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
