Does any of you know if the Larry Graham instructional video "Super Slapping Bass" has been released on DVD ? I have a copy of the VHS with Japanese subtitles. The sound is awful but Graham plays like a dream, so if any of you guys could help me out, I would be very grateful  |

(btw if anyone thinks Vic wooten is "the man" when it comes to double thumping...wait'll you see Graham doin it  )

his playing AND tone are brilliant on that one. great entertainer, too, seems like a really funny guy. there isn`t that much one can learn from the video, but it`s great.
he DOES use DT, but no it na Vic-way, but more like a pick.

Murf | Larry Graham got Victor thumping-I don't think he uses the technique. |

I've never heard Larry Graham do that, but I only like a few older songs before he went into the 80's.

-Eric. | Yes, Reggie taught Victor to thump when Vic couldn't hold Graham's groove (check out Victor Wooten: Live at Bass Day '98 if you want to see thumping and how hw started on it). I don't believe Reggie is faster, its just more strings and sounds more show-offy (real word?); at least that's what I believe. |

I'm not trying to defame Graham. I think he's some of the best slap lines out there. Hair is absolutely incredible.
