Expanding on slap, pop and thumb techniques

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm just wondering on what more I can do to expand my techniques.
I'm a 3 finger bassist, heavy user of double thumb with single pop, can do a double pop but a little low on consistency so I don't try to pull it off so much live. I'm just wondering what other techniques I can do.

Some slap solos I've seen live, people manage to get a a very quick triplet of muted notes out and I'm wondering how to do this - or even what other techniques there are out there to expand my playing ability.

Many thanks!

Alot of the really fast stuff uses the left hand fret slap as well.. You can also flick down and up with the right hand..

Try to create so interesting 4 note patterns using muted rhythm in combination with notes

Ah, I can do the "flick" thing also! One thing I forgot to add.

I'm working on that now infact. Got one going already which is a double thumb, single pop and a left hand mute. Using that together very quickly is a neat thing.
