Pop and slap tab

I'll try to get you some tabs listed here...but until then try slapping some octaves. That's pretty beginner until you can get smooth doing it. Slide into the top octave with your first finger hitting it with the side of your thumb and then pop the octave below it in a fast muffled type sound. I like doing this with my middle finger.
