I have one question. The sound we hear when we slap a string... where does it come from? I mean, i slapped correctly the srting wont touch the end of the fretboard or touch any fret at all. So why does it make such a loud sound even if "barely" touched.
On the contrary, the percussive slap sound comes from the metal string snapping against the metal frets. If the string doesn't hit the fretboard, it won't make that "slap" sound.
That's because the string moves faster than the eye can actually see. If you see some slow motion of an instrument sting you'll notice that it moves around a lot more than you normally realise.
It makes the strings look really floppy and loose!
