Just wanted to let you all know that I have a few slap lessons posted online. Slapping through changes and Linear slaping (modes) are a few topics covered. You can see them here:

Ray,
Thanks for posting the lesson. I enjoyed your playing on Ornithology. I have a question on Slap Arpeggio Techniques. What would be the most effective fingering/hammer to use on the C Major Triad?
A slap open, C hammer 1st, E hammer 4th, E slap 4th, G fret 2nd, G fret 2nd
or
A slap open, C hammer 1st, E hammer 3rd, E slap 3rd, G fret 1st, G fret 1st
Also, do you Barre the G ?
Thanks

Thanks, I got the slap, pluck, pluck right hand technique down pretty good. I was thinking of the Left Hand fretboard fingering. Sorry, I should have mentioned that in my post.
Do you use your index on the C, your pinky on the E, and your middle on the G and Octave
or, your index and ring finger on the C and the E and index on the G and Octave
Thanks again

I use my index on the C, my pinky on the E, and my index on the G and Octave on a triad arpeggio based on a "1st finger shape".
