cytania Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Just been watching Lee Rocker's tutorial clips and I was stuck by that percussive ticking a rockabilly bass makes. What's doing it and is there a name for the sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviedee Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I think you mean slap bass where the string slaps against the finger board and you then slap with your hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 There's loads of examples on [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=54bz5yqN2IA"]youtube[/url]. There's also a series of lessons but I can't find the link at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cytania Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Thanks for that Rev, just the kind of clips I was watching. Sounds like the string click has no musical name, but it sure is an infectious part of the slap bass rhythmn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
