Flamenco Bass

[BassOverdrive]

I recently heard this solo using the style of Flamenco and I was amazed and wanted to learn the style. Any places or good vids on learning this technique?

I don't believe Flamenco is so much a technique, but a genre. I could be wrong though.

As for how to play it, watch some flamenco guitarists, I'm sure you could pick up some stuff from them.

Check out Rush in Rio. Geddy does that quite a lot. He flicks his fingers at the strings.

Most everything of Les Claypool is in a flamenco stretch if he's not popping, and more classically 10,000 Days (Pt. 2) by Tool is a popular example GOD I LOVE THAT WAL...

This is an old show off video from me (not that proud, but anyway...). If you wanna see some flamenco tricks, you might find it interesting.

The guitar player in my band taught me some techniques (rasguedos, pecussions, strumming) and I applied it to my bass.

Like I told you this is more a show off video (not that musical), but now (4 years later) I discovered more musical ways to apply these techniques).

Have fun
