Slap-Pop

[venturabass]

I've tried top master it, but its difficult. Any suggestions on how to do it? Also, when would I use the slap-pop technique?

Check out the "Technique" forum, there's a sticky thread near the top that should tell you all you need to know. Here's the link:

If your in a funk or funk rock band you may use it quite a bit. If you like Metal you probably wont use it much except for soloing. Also alternate with your popping fingers, meaning use both index and middle fingers and maybe even the ring finger.
