getting faster thumb slap technique

[drewphishesp]

looking for tips to build my speed with my thumb while slapping to get the quick triplets and 16th notes

with almost any technique: apply your concept of 'good' practice and multiply it by 1000. you can reduce that factor if you have great practice habits/concepts! good luck with your slapping!

yea I just wanted to see if anyone had any tips to focus in on that, im practicing alot

I think most fast slapping riffs involve "cheating" to a degree: not all the notes are thumb slaps



and even with slap, you get faster by not by practicing speed buy practicing accuracy as discussed here

Can you double thumb? If so slap an open G string down, then back up.... Now on the d string start doing hammer ons on fith fret. Then move to the 7th,etc, while still hitting the g string..
You can do this exercise all over the neck, on every string, and build tremendous speed too.
