Youtube has a couple different series on learning slap bass.... and those are free and on-demand. I would start there. Good luck and have fun.

I recommend MarloweDK from youtube.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to have come across his videos and be amazed with his slap technique.
He doesn't have tabs, but hey, we have ears. And eyes. Training your ear is only going to do you good

Now go watch his covers and steal his technique
