This is the highest value per minute when it comes to slap bass instruction in the whole internet. No one comes closer.

Right on Brother. Your info is good...but your delivery is great! You have a gift besides just playing. Not everyone can teach like you can.

After seing this video, I think its time for me to try practice bass again.. Finally I found the best bass teacher in youtube..

[jasongoldstein]

I taught guitar lessons for years (I've moved onto other things now). I am getting more into bass so was looking for lessons on slap. This is very high-quality teaching, easily worth the price of a private bass lesson (or two). Thanks!

just as mark says don't try to speed up, it is the controliing of the movements, the groove, the touch. when control those you automaticily will speed up

Although I've played for 15 years, I find this extremely useful and informative. Great work and keep it up!

I'm having a real hard time getting in muted notes, I'm so eager to play on, I must slow it down a bit but its so difficult wanting to learn fast then I hit a thud on my slapping and have to start all over again. Its amusing and frustrating at the same time but in good time I will get it done correctly. I can clearly see its about control rather than speed,  I hope everyone learning slap bass moves forward with good control then speed . This has truly opened up a new door to my bass playing and thanks to Mark for his excellence in teaching slap bass, muted notes etc., etc. .

Thanks Mark. Your tuition is excellent. Well paced, clear and easy to understand. At 62, and a pretty average musician, I decided to buy a bass with some redundancy money, having never thought about trying one before. I practiced for about an hour a day, and found that I had some ability with the instrument.
However I have struggled getting a consistent and clear slap sound. I think your help has put me on the right road... well, with another year's practice that is! Thanks :-)

I've been playing bass for 30+ years. You are really clear in your explanations and have tought me to get better. Excellent vids - thanks!

[fivepiece]

I like that this video contains a complete examination of this aspect of playing (albeit, at a beginner level). This means that for the next two weeks of my practicing I'll only need to come back to one video instead of five. :-)

Dear sir, Your lessons are much more understandable and well compared to other professional lessons, also the way of breaking down the technique with small exercise is the best way to teach like the players like us
