I've been playing for over 35 years. All kinds of styles but I have never really learned or felt comfortable playing slap bass. I am looking for a good video series to get me started. Can an old dog learn a new trick?

Well if you don't have a problem coming up to Chicago I'll give you lessons for free to help you develop your approach to the technique.
At least once a month.
Awesome, Jauqo!
In the meantime, I'd highly recommend looking up Larry Graham's slap vid on Youtube. I like Larry's approach a lot because it sounds so big and badass when he does it.

That's an awesome gesture!!!
I learned some by watching the marlowedk videos on youtube. I never could "get" how to do it until I saw his videos.

Never too old man, I completely revamped my RH technique after not playing for many many many years.
