    Not really a slap technique per say. At least, not one specific to slap and pop. They're just popping a trill.

    To me this sounds like a hammer-on or a thrill.

    At 0:07 a slide? At 0:23 he just hammers on and pulls off fast.

    The first one is slap'n'pop cliche #1; pluck the sus 4, trill minor/#9 to major third. Example: over an a chord, pluck D, trill C-C#. #2 is over G and is basically the same concept, except it's just a triplet Bb (m3/#9) to B (M3) leading to two 8th notes tonic and m7 (G-F).

    You got me. That’s right, it’s a shake. First I thought that it was a thrill but then, don’t know why, it sounded me like a hammer on. About the DVD, I saw some samples and it looks like they know what they’re doing, showing great technique, sound and feel
