DAMN!



I wanna do that... Well, not exactly that, but something kinda like that... At least a little bit like that!

Someone point me to the path that gets me there! I realize I will never get there per se, but want to be on the path and pointed in the right direction!

I found "Louis Johnson: Instructional Bass (2005)" - will check it out...

Would be interested in real-world experience - that is, what has worked for folks and what has proven to be a waste of time.

I saw the LJ video a couple of times but he is going so fast that it was hard to follow what he was doing. I guess it is a teaser to get you to buy his video. On the other hand, there is a guy, with SR5, who posted a video on how to double thump, ala Wooten. The funny thing is, that he doesn't say anything; he just gestures a lot but he does slow down the movement so you can get an idea how the technique is performed. Also, he does a little bit of Marcus Miller.

Good stuff! Like everything else, practice makes perfect, eh!?

Wow....
That is seriously awesome, LOL

I have never been able to "slap", for lack of really trying to learn it,
but what this guy does makes me want to take some lessons

edit: being suddenly without a band, I think that's exactly what I'm gonna do!
