| | | | I need a few new slap songs to learn
Sign in to disble this ad
Hey all. Recently I've been having trouble finding fun slap lines to learn. For the record, I already know most old RHCP songs and plenty of Primus/Les Claypool songs and a few Victor Wooten songs, but I'm looking for something straight out of the funk genre I might not have learned yet. I don't know many straight funk songs period, so any at all would be great. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Play on!

Lucas Pickford has transcriptions in notation on his site if you want to learn them that way. www.lucaspickford.com. Both are fun to play, and very funky. |

Well, he may be the one who made Slapping known to the world because of his status, but noone can ever know. Someone might have been slapping for ages but was never discovered and so noone ever heard them slap. Its all about how you look at it. All IMO. *Thumbs up*
Thanks
