5 Beginner SLAP Bass Lines - Guaranteed To Impress

👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼 Want to go from rank beginner to being a competent bassist in just 21 days? Take my Beginner Bass Challenge here and get started playing - FAST:

Has anyone ever told you to ‘slappa da bass mahn’? (Anyone remember that movie? “I Love You, Man?”)

If you play for long enough, it’s bound to happen, and when it does, it’s going to be unbelievably useful to have some easy slap bass lines in your arsenal to blow some minds.

You don’t have to play something incredibly difficult either. One of the cool things about slap bass is that it can sound super impressive, and still be relatively easy to play.

In fact, in this video, you’re going to get 5 beginner slap bass lines that are guaranteed to impress - even if this is day 1 for you as a slap bass player.

I even included the very first slap bass line that I ever learned.

And just to make things easy, here are the timestamps for each of the 5 beginner slap bass lines:

Song 1 - 01:00

Song 2 - 03:42

Song 3 - 06:07

Song 4 - 09:20

Song 5 - 11:46

If you *are* a ‘day-1’ beginner though when it comes to slap bass, then jumping straight into these bass lines might be a little bit tough - especially if you don’t know exactly how to slap.

If that sounds like you, be sure to check out this video all about fundamental slap bass technique:

It’ll make things way easier when it comes to playing these beginner slap bass lines.

And if you want to start mastering these bass lines today, make sure you download the tabs, notation and drum tracks for all the bass lines in this video. Just go here:

Good luck with the lesson and happy slapping!

Cheers,

Luke

Hi Luke, I’m 47 yo and decided to learn bass during this awful quarantine in march... I have some music education (clarinet) but I’m total beginner with a fretboard and all the fingerstyle thing.
This channel ROCKS and the content I receive in mail rocks even more!
Thanks for doing this, I’m already confident on some basics bass lines and I would definetly recommend your channel to anybody willing to learn AND improve the bass.
I wish internet and something like your channel was available when I learned music in the previous century (literally).
This is a great speed up for any learner and it is not only “‘bout the bass”, but also about music styles and music theory.
Kudos!!!

Wow, can't stop is also the first slap bassline I learned lol. Came here looking for other cool slap basslines I could learn and wasn't expecting that to be there

Hey Luke, I'm a kiwi living in the states and started playing bass two months ago @ 61 y.o.a.. played guitar for years.
Tried many of the other YT lessons but find yours the most down to earth and easy to follow. Must be your accent, lol. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks Mate.

Here's a tip when learning a slap bassline with alot of Mute notes.

Just leave most of the mute notes out, first learn the notes then after you get comfortable with it, add the mute notes!

This helped me learn Dark Necessities by RHCP!

I'm bad at explaining so sorry for the bad english.

I FINALLY FOUND A GOOD CANT STOP TUTORIAL!! Thank you so much Luke!!

[dannydirtD]

Literally starting slap for the 1st time right at this minute and came across this vid. Cheers

[johnnycolorado]

Thank you so much. This is so helpful, well done, and so clear. 🙏

[ajdayton]

Your slap is so smooth and controlled. How do you get your thumb to just ease past the string and end up on the neck. I have a hard time keeping my thumb from bouncing.

[Arnol-ce]

Great video, with the detailed explanation, different speeds and tabs included! It's really fun and easy to play along the different lines. Thank you!

[codeforlemontea]
