Slap bass riffs

Sign in to disble this ad
Can someone recommend me some slapstyle stuff to learn, I can play some Chili Peppers stuff, with varying degrees of success, but I'm not particularly clued up on the whole funk thing.

Regards
Darragh

Higher Ground, Can't Stop, Aeroplane, Skinny Sweaty Man, Get up and Jump, Naked in the Rain.

Check out those, learn them all and it'll give you a good basis on improvising slap riffs.

I was thinking something more conventional, and I'm not really a Chilis fan anyway, I think I need something to help me speed up slapping, because I can't keep up with alot of the stuff I hear.

SLAP IT !
It is old (80's) but I think it is the best one,
There's a lot of cool stuff and it is based on the continious rhythm,
