Hey
I read abuot left handed slap in a book i bought called giants of bass and tried to teach myself to do it, basically i want to know if im doing it right, if this is how to use it and if there are any ways of improving it,
By the way sorry about the sound quality as im only using a digital camera which kinda destroys my tone and im using my little 50W amp as well so not exactly a great recording but oh well!
Cheers all! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_MHZdIEAz4 |

I wrote Giants of Bass, and yes, it sounds like you've nailed the left hand slap thing. Good job!

Yeah I did compose all the tracks - in fact that book/CD is the one of which I am most proud! It was tough to get together, but very rewarding. I'm currently negotiating with the publishers for a volume 2, so stay tuned...!
