I realized that Django Reinhardt's bassist was slapping, and I saw a video of Ray Brown slapping too and thought it would be cool to learn for older songs. But nothing seems to show the basic technique of slapping. I want to learn the very intro-level stuff to the technique. Now I know that people usually have really low action and gut strings. Are there any other things people use? Not that I would change my set-up i'm just curious. I just noticed when I try to slap my hand is like this.
But the better people seem to have their hand pretty straight
