[MichalRobertPiatek]

finally someone who could explain this in a way that I could understand

[Gichanasa]

This is the best lesson to date I have seen on this technique. Coming from the classical guitar with decent tremolo proficiency, I still found this technique quite difficult to even approach, but with this lesson, I made notable progress in just a few days. Two breakthroughs for me were seeing the contact region on the thumbnail, which guided me on how deep the thumb should sink in after the first note, and then making sure to line up the index finger right behind the string after the upplucking of the thumb to follow through. Keep up the nice work!

This is my thumb. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My thumb is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

Fantastic explanation and set of exercises. This is going to keep me hurting for a good while. Thanks.

You just did an excellent job breaking down this technique. The most defined one out there. THANK YOU!

[Double___Strings]

Mark, thank you so much! Now I know exactly how to fix what I've been doing wrong. I play guitar, and all the guitar lessons on this technique don't help as much as this one has. Now I just need to see the next part on plucking!

It took me a while to get good at this but now I’m a beast at it it took some blister making to do it and depending on what I’m doing I do it at the neck and bridge even palm muted so fun .at first was highly frustrating thank you victor wooten and Evan brewer for inspiring me to learn this

[ThePurestMayhem]

thank you so much mark. i could never understand it fully until i watched this video. this just made my day as well as improved my bass skills

[ivanbecerril]

This is the best explanation on how to thump that I've ever watched, kudos

[a.asiloc]

Merci, c'est de loin la meilleure explication que j'ai vu sur le sujet.

[ethanmiska]

Way to really break it down step by step. Thanks!

[benmathys]

Thank you for this video. I know everybody learns differently but this is the video that really made it click for me. I am not saying that i have mastered the technique, but it was this video that made me feel confident in my practice.

[michaelroberts]

Awesome explanation! Been playing for a yr and just started to learn slap and pop. Thanks for sharing.

[markjones]

Hey brother I enjoy your teaching approach to this technique....that's exactly how I feel at attempting this style...I'm gonna follow thru. Till I master it ...cuz of this video... gracias 😎

[RasherQuivers]

Finally a great starting point. I was just about to give up on this technique until I saw this video. Thank you.

[kellymorales]

I finally figured this out last night! The key for me was relaxing and not hitting the strings hard at all. The motion of the double thump pluck pluck doesn't feel like slap at all at first. Learned on a 5 string, the low B sounds awesome with this technique.

[schmaler]

Thanks for the idea of doing the double thumb on the fingerboard or pickups. I've been trying for days and always get stuck with my huge thumb between the strings, I think now it runs better soon

[gorgardmw]

Thank you so muchfor these videos mark. I really want to join low end university. Hopefully I'll pay membership this week.
Really inspiring and most importantly helpful material.

The distance from the rubber to the plate is 60 feet, 6 inches. ;-)

It's great to be able to know where to hit the string on the nail
