1976fenderhead Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 So after many years neglecting slap technique I've decided to dedicate sometime to it as I'll be between bands soon... Not something I care much about for my own style but I figured I should be able to effortlessly do some cool licks here and there just to impress the easily impressionable... So, what should I look into? I'd like some proper structured programme, like a book with a DVD or CD, or something like that. Or suggest me the best guy doing free videos on youtube or something... Basically, save me the search and point me straight to the top quality resources Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, there's the Alexis Sklarevski "Slap Bass Programme" DVD. Book wise, Stuart Clayton, Jon Liebman, and Tony Oppenheim have all produced slap technique books that will take you from basics to advanced.

1976fenderhead Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hmm, MarloweDK's name does come up a lot. I'll start there and then check the others you suggested, thanks for the pointers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB3000S Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 MarloweDK offers (or at least used to offer) a download of a complete set of all his youtube videos for a very modest sum given how much inspiration he provides and how well he goes through each lick. Beats browsing by a good margin IMO. Also, the Stuart Clayton slap book is fantastic - he also has some amazingly correct Level42 books if you're into that.
