help..

I’m a self-taught bassist who’s been playing for about nine months and I am trying to learn how to slap. I can do it but I can’t play songs with slap because i can’t do it without looking for even a second. I need help getting better, any tips?

This video helped me a lot when I was learning slap bass. Good luck!

Not awful slap playing takes time to learn. It’s so easy to do badly so it’s that much harder to learn to do well, in my experience. I don’t have any specific advice besides to take your time and don’t expect results overnight.

I find it hard to do even badly. Have never stuck with it long enough to get good to actually use.

The sooner you get your eyes off the neck the better all your playing will be. Consistent posture and hand position. The notes are right where you left them yesterday, the only thing that could have changed is where your hands and fingers are today.
