AM1 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 OK. I see the error of my ways. A few months ago I wasn't interested in learning to play slap, now I'm REALLY interested! From a funk point of view. Any learning resource suggestions would be much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golchen Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 That's not the dark side. That's the slightly grey side with a hint of burgundy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouMa Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I always just try to imagine im tapping out on the table,just imagine drumming,the E and A string are bass/toms,an the D and G are snare/highhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 YouMa, that is quite true. Main piece of advice, as much as the open E sounds good, remember, there are other notes, strings and shapes than root, minor 7, octave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
