I have a few slap and pop lessons, and other how too's as well.
Hope it helps!  |

"Pow" is great, as is "Hair" or "Water" (also by Graham Central Station). "Thank You (FaLettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" by Sly & The Family Stone, "Get On The Floor" by Michael Jackson, "Square Biz" by Teena Marie, "Love Games" by Level 42, "Forget Me Nots" by Patrice Rushen.

Medium - Aeroplane by RHCP
Hard - Run for the cover by Marcus Miller
Very Hard - You can't hold no groove by Victor Wooten

| | | Most of Marking Level 42 are so damn hard to learn but Lesson In Love is not. That song got me into slap... groovy and not hard if you pay enough attention... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GpRg_oildQ
