Any old slappers out there near Luton (or London NW9)?

[Golchen]

Nah, I don't really want to be Mark King, but I'd love to get the basic elements of his style down. I can get the old thumb moving a bit, but fail somewhat with the finger snaps, and also my left hand doesn't know what to do at all!

I was just wondering if there was anyone within about 20 miles or so from Luton who could give some lessons/pointers. Alternatively I work in London NW9.

I've had a look at DVD stuff and tabs, but I don't get on with that stuff, I'm really a 'look and learn' sort of person.

I realise this is probably a long shot, but no harm in asking!

Hiya,

I'm in Stevenage & teach & play only Double Bass & slap is my speciality, so if you're still interested in learning, let me know,

Check my site www.mikenichols.co.uk

There's lots of info - and you can hear some examples of me demonstrating slap technique on the classic bass sounds and tunes pages

I'm based in Guildford, so maybe a bit out of your way, but well worth the trip! - imo
