Instructional DVD's

Sign in to disble this ad
Like most people, I tend to learn quicker when I'm showed how to do things (techniques, playing tricks, etc.). I searched all of the forums and couldn't find any updated threads on "Bass Instructional DVD's". I am starting to look into the slapping technique but am not sure where to start. I was curious which "instructional DVD shows the slap technique in the most clear way", because I know a lot of them aren't that great.

Someday I'd like to learn Victor Wooten's technique. I was curious if he has any good instructional videos. I found one on eBay # 250441487423 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:L:LCA:US:1123), but was curious if it is any good. Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,
R

Alexis Sklarevski's DVD "The Slap Bass Program" is still one of the best, most concise slap methods out there.

You might want to search Youtube for slap bass. There are a few free lessons on there. I like Victor Wooten's lessons: Youtube video slap lessons

Here are a couple of other links for video lessons:
MarlowDK's video instruction
Dmanlamius' bass site links

You also might want to checkout the links in my thread below for more great bass info.
