What do you mean? I'm from Sweden, I can never have a proper grammar...
Try SlapIt! by Tony Oppenheim at SlapIt.com. Great exercises and instruction from a relatively small and cheap book/CD.
Using things like LOL, not capitalizing, etc. Dont worry Funky, you have it down.
The Ed Friedland Slap DVD is excellent.
Slap Bass by Hal Leonard publishing.
Ed is a mature adult, and he calmly and masterfully takes you through the technique.
I like Ed's approach because there is some space and purpose in his slapping. He isn't one of those super-frenzied high-tension wind-up doll slappers, and he isn't trying to make you into one, either.
There are enough wildman Kitchen Aid slappers out there already, trust me.

Use the Google search option for TB. There's tons of info on TB that fits your needs. There's even a sticky in this forum that should have been your first stop. Here's the link: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=298410
Slappin': A Complete Study of Slap Technique For Bass
I use it with my students who think they want to learn to be good slap players, because most hit the wall before they get good at it.
It starts out with the fundamentals and goes from there. About mid-way through it gets pretty challenging, but if you're dedicated, you'll hang in and learn.
The kicker is, it's only 30 pages long. Very saturated, and very effective. TAB and standard notation, comes with a play-along CD as well.

You never know who is from America and who is not, so watch out for who you say this too. Not everyone is trained in English as good as you. Im bi-lingual ( German and English ) and some people who even live here never got the proper eductaion because they had families who were un-supportive or had finacial trouble...No offense or anything, just pointing that out.

This is true, but the quote below verifies my original thought.
Thats better.
haha yeah, well it was 8 am here but still, it was a hell of a party though people from all around the state, lots of hot chicks, but crappy commercial music..
Hot chicks counter the crappy music.
Drunken hot chicks? Thats a different story.
Lots and lots of drunken VERY EXTREMELY HOT chicks, but 70% of them were older.. bummer.
practice it in guitarcenter..very loudly..for hours on end. regardless of the people around you who are there to actually buy something, and test/hear it.
Lol i think playing guitar for hours is much more annoying than any loud bass..
Is the original poster really being shunned and corrected for using a laugh acronym? Just because you personally have some weird pet peeve about it...
