Hey there Iluha! I'm really glad you're having fun with bass ! Yeah slapping and popping can be a lot of fun indeed
First of all I suggest learning various slap techniques like playing hammer on-s , left hand slapping , right hand double thumb stuff etc..After you get a nice arsenal it will be easier to make more interesting lines..Its like building riffs on guitar , takes some time to come up with good ones...Octaves will be definitly the most important part of those riffs in a lot of cases. Regarding famous slap songs, lots of RHCP stuff is cool and interesting (but based on octaves a lot). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_Bap2Xrdbc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myAebOIGpcg here are some suggestions from other artists (on a higher level) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1IuD6F3R5I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRruDY3jgpk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyUY9A057JI -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Run For Cover is the song I mentioned I managed to learn how to play What do you mean by left hand slapping? Thats a cool song man!! Good job! Left hand slapping is when you hit the fretboard with your left hand to produce a percussive "slap" sound.. I use it a lot in this lesson : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/misc-less...ap-bass-lesson/ Cheers mate -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
