Succumbing to the dark side...

[AM1]

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!

That's not the dark side. That's the slightly grey side with a hint of burgundy.

Good phrasing is very important

Stuart Clayton's slap book owns all...

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.

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.
