Hey everyone,

My names Alex and im looking for some good tapping lessons.. Ive been wanting to play tap bass for a long time and i seem to have squeezed all the lessons i can online.. I cant find anything good to learn to improve my skills. Can anybody help me?

Do you know of any good tabs for bass tapping?

Thanks!

Do like most of the pros, take piano pieces/music sheets and play them in your bass.

That will give you speed accuracy and help you improve the independent movements of your hands.

Welcome to TB, Alex.

You might want to ask your questions in the appropriate forum to get the best responses. In this case, try "General Instruction".

"Off Topic" is for talking about everything except music-realted matters.

Some would say tapping isn't music related.

Victor Wooten's cover of Stevie Wonder's Overjoyed is pretty much all you need to know about two handed tapping.

yes, usualy you would play the bass clef with the left hand and the treeble clef with the right hand (if you are right handed). But you can also play the treeble part with both hands depending on the complexity of the song.

This riff is great way to start practising basic tapping. TAB included. Play the riff a lot slower than on the video at first, then speed it up.
