I've been looking for some good, intermediate slap/pop tunes to practice my technique. I'm a little advanced for some of the basic slap lesson examples I've been finding, and I'm not quite good enough to tackle Claypool, and I was told that RHCP's Flea wrote some good slap riffs. Could you please recommend some good Red Hot Chili Peppers songs with good slap parts in them? |

aeroplane

backwoods
no chump love sucker

anyway.. you might want to try:
Naked in the Rain (BSSM)
My Lovely Man (BSSM) [not really slap, but still damn cool]
Can't Stop (BTW)
and of course... Aeroplane (OHM)

Just to clarify.. there is slap in Soul to Squeeze, it's just in the bridge part.
By the way, I found that slap line really good for getting my fingers stronger with the sliding double stops.

Flea's playng isnt that hard technically, whats most difficult is his rhythm... sometimes its frantic...
